Here's the scenario: my best friend took a handgun safety course but didn't get to actually fire any guns in the process; I guess they had some sort of training pistol, but that was it. For his purposes (woods gun, home protection, plinking) he wants a revolver. So, I spent several hours orienting him to safe handling of my two: SP101 and Smith Mountain Gun in .45 Colt. Then we went to the range. He loved the Mountain Gun, but since he doesn't reload and is a new home owner, the cost of .45 Colt rounds is prohibitive for regular practice.
I think a .357 magnum would suit him great. He didn't like the snubbie at the range, but fired a GP100 with success. However, he's a big Smith fan (stockholder!) and I'm therefore trying to decide which Smith to gift him of on his birthday.
I've never fired any Smiths in .357, so I thought I'd see what folks' experience is here.
Thanks in advance for your help...
