If you want a 357 Magnum I would say go with a S&W model 27 or model 686. The 686 is nearly the same size of the Python. They will fit many of the same holsters. They will also handle the 38 Special. They will last a lifetime with proper care. The model 27 has been called the "Cadallac" of revovlers. It is also the original 357.
