Hey everyone, this is only my second post and I'm pretty new to the handgun world in general. I've shot multiple times with my dad (20 year military vet) but I don't really have any in depth knowledge on firearms. I was recently given my first revolver, that belonged to my uncle (also ex-military), and I'd love any tips and suggestions on customizing and getting to know it better.
It's a Smith & Wesson 357 Magnum, 66-1, 4" barrel. I took it to the range for the first time yesterday and am already a big fan of how it shoots. It's got some nice weight to it, without being too heavy for my girlfriend, and seems to be very accurate. I used both .357 and .38 specials.
I apologize in advance if these questions are overly amateur. So far, only the grips have been changed from wood panels to rubber Pachmayrs. Other than that everything looks to be stock. I'd like to have it custom painted but don't know where to start with having that done. Also, I was wondering if it's possible to purchase a 2"-2.5" barrel to replace the 4" with. If so, where would be the best place to start looking?
Any info would be really appreciated. Thanks guys!
