Just one?
Gotta go with the speed six.

Just to clarify I don't think 357 Mag is worthless, it can do allot of things fairly well but for any single task I have found a better combination of cartridge and revolver.We will just have to agree to disagree
Only thing I think a 357 Mag is worthless is in a snub nose revolver.
Somebody posted that on the range where he goes, from time to time he got showered by empty cases from one of those double stuck semiautos. If complain doesn't have effect, one cylinder-full from 30 Carbine Ruger never fails to clear the bench.A moderately loaded .38-40, .41Spl, .41Mag, .44-40, .44Spl, .44Mag, .45Colt, .45ACP will do everything the .357 will without making your ears bleed. I could live the rest of my life without firing a single shot of .357Mag and be happy.

It's a good cartridge just not the best cartridge for anything.
In some people's opinion it might be the best cartridge to pair with a .357 lever gun, though, so here we are...
.357 is more versatile than most people take advantage of, but if you are going to stick with a revolver, the older pythons are the most accurate, followed by the GP100 in my book. If I can't have one of those, then give me an old K-frame like the model 13, at least I could EDC that and accurate enough.
Yeah, I agree about new ones, the older Python's and even the older Rugers were better. My grandad had a 686 , Red Hawks and Blackhawks and I could hit anything with any of them. But the Python was tops.I'm not paying $2000 minimum for a Python. I think that is absolutely idiocy especially seeing as Colt's quality control as well as company in whole. Ruger and S&W isn't much better if at all but at least they are sub $1000.
Maybe a Rohm. It’s German so it has to be good!
You’re bad!
That strikes me as a stock photo. What is your experience with it and why is the MR73 a better suited companion for a lever action than this?
