I have a fairly new 4" Windicator in 357. First, I realize it's not a S&W or Ruger...but for a semi budget revolver I think it's pretty well made. I have mostly shot only 38+Ps through it, but no issues whatsoever. Most others seem to report the same.
Recently I came.across two deals on 357 SJHP's. One claims 1450fps with 584fpe. The other is jacked up a bit higher at 1554 and 671. I'm assuming those figures are for a 6" barrel. Which one would you get for your Windicator, provided it seemed to be a good specimen with no flaws? I have the Hogue style grip, btw. I don't plan on shooting 357 alot by any means. Aside from the sound I'm really not intimidated by shooting it. My first time shooting 357 Magnum I was shooting one handed in just a few minutes. I know people sometimes use language like "steady diet" when describing what a gun can handle or not handle. Just curious what people think about this particular match-up between gun and ammo.
Thanks!
