I was thinking the .38-40 necked down a little more but I see the concern. I wonder how much BP fits in the .357 Maximum case.

I would want it for BP round in SAA pattern revolvers. The hope would be to get 158 or 180gr .357 at over 1000fps (i.e. good SD at high velocities for BP). Kind of an upsized .32-20 concept.

Man, you must be living right! BTW, I give you twice what you paid for it. ;) mike

Think you did the right thing. I don't think I could ever give up a 3" model 10 if I had one. Now you have her and a nice 82 to boot. mike

It is my guess that the BB standard pressure round will do anything that needs to be done on the NA continent. No worries. mike

Very, very nice gun in a great caliber. mike

To me there is a difference between the plain jane "didn't bother with styling it just works" kind of blocky-ugly of the hi-point and to some degree the glock and the "I intentionally stuck a bunch of stupid *&^$%6 on it" ugly of the ruger 22 in the original post. Personally I would take the...

I would consider the .38 S&W to be somewhat the better of the two due to its ability to use much heavier bullets effectively. A 140+gr lead flat nose or wadcutter should provide pretty reliable penetration at even the modest velocities that the .38 can safely manage. JMHO. mike

My Glock totin' brother said that looked like a perfect setup for me. :D mike

I can't predict the future but my take on it has always been that it was a solution in search of a problem. There is nothing drastically wrong with the round as such but I don't see a need for a .32 loudenblaster. I guess if you really wanted something like that there is always the Ruger SA .30...

Yep, them's ugly revolvers in my book. Wouldn't look too bad if you cut the barrel flush with the frame. :) mike

Seems like if you trust a .32 H&R or hot loaded .32 S&W long then the Nagant should be fine. If you wouldn't then not so much. mike

You go granny. :) Lovely gun. The .38S&W is a fine round the intended purpose. If there is any concern for terminal ballistics just file a flat point on the bullet and worry not. :D mike

Interesting SPL reference. It didn't seem to indicate where the measurements were taken in relationship to the barrel (shooter's position or in front) though I would hope that it was from behind. Also the room (or lack of a room) in which it was fired would make a huge difference I suspect...

Gosh, doesn't a 44 always make sense? :) mike

Both buyers and sellers are looking for someone without a clue. That's the name of the game. We do the same thing cruising garage sales looking for that rare vacuum tube amplifier with a $1.50 price tag on it. mike

It is simply another symptom of the degradation of culture. One can rage against it but unless the minds and will of the people change then the advertising used to reach them won't either. Personally that kind of advertisement influences me to find a someone else from which to by. mike

Am I the only one who's interest in high velocity handgun rounds is waning with age? I used to be very magnum minded but the older I get the less fascination they hold for me. More and more my attitude is that, short of Elephant hunting, if 900 to 1000fps isn't enough I should just move to a...

Slap some Eagle Secret Service grips on it (if they are still available) and enjoy. Wish I still had mine as it was a great piece. mike

Smoke pole, weapon, long distance drill press... :) mike
