Looking to buy quality 357 magnum revolver

Like RevolverGuy, i am a fan of the Model 66. I've owned a 6" stainless since "89" and won't buy another revolver unless the deal is to good to pass up. I've seen a few at the gun shows in the $500.- to $600.- range. It is as accurate as i am and looks as good as the day i bought it.

Personally, a like new 2.5-inch Model 66 is my current "holy grail" gun, but much as I want it, I would hesitate to make use of it as an every day gun. This is due the problems with full power .357 loads, and the limited availability of replacement parts (if you crack the forcing cone on your 66, your gun becomes a $500-600 paperweight)

This is really coming down to a discussion over what specific type of Belgian Chocolate is best. Simply there isn't any BAD Belgian Chocolate. It's simply a case of which example suits each taste.

Although I lean to the S&W side as long as the OP gets some form of S&W or Ruger that he likes all will be well. At worst he would need to fuss around with after market grips to find one which he prefers and which fits him in the way that promotes the best accuracy.

After that it all becomes about how best to get the most ammo to play with at the range...
