I don't usually get to het up about .357 Magnums, and they sort of become step children. So decided to photograph my Single Action .357s:
They are, L. to R.: Ruger Flat Top, Ruger Three Screw, Ruger New Model, Colt SAA, and Hy Hunter Western Six Shooter.
I bought the Flat Top in 1958 while at Ft. Ord, California. I had it case hardened by Doug Turnbull, and mesquite grips by CaryC.
The Three Screw is one of a pair I bought a few years ago, the other is the .44 Special I carry daily. This gun is straight stock, except I removed the transfer bar conversion, and added a grip frame from a Ruger Old Army, and a Clements wide trigger, and a steel ejector rod housing.
The New Model has a Super Blackhawk grip frame, and a steel ejector rod housing.
The Colt SAA has a brass backstrap from an 1851 Navy and a Smith & Wesson rear sight, and a Ruger Blackhawk front sight. One piece walnut grips by BobW.
The Hy Hunter has a brass trigger guard from a Colt 1851 Navy, a brass backstrap from a Hawes Western Marshal, and one piece grips by BobW.
