Okay, I am trying to decide what 5 shot .357 Magnum revolver to buy. I will be carrying this in my front pocket quite a bit. I have narrowed my choices down to the following:
-S&W 360PD, $625 retail, 1 7/8" bbl, 12 oz., 6.25" OAL
Pros - Really light and short, outstanding quality
Cons - Hurts to shoot .357 magnum through, expensive
-Taurus 605, $375 retail, 2" bbl, 24 oz., 6.5" OAL
Pros - Inexpensive, easier for .357, and still small
Cons - Not as light as the S&W, quality not as good
-Ruger SP101, $495 retail, 2 1/4" bbl, 25 oz., 7" OAL
Pros - I like Ruger, heavy enough for .357
Cons - Expensive, too heavy and long. Can get the S&W for $100 more.
Anyone have any comments or suggestions for other revolvers to look at.
Thanks,
GT
