Who loves your .357 magnums?

[maskedman504]

Took my S&W to the range yesterday. Can't carry it. Don't want to shoot it indoors withough ears. Love the looks I get from the stalls beside me. The 12 inch fireballs out of the barrel are cool too!

I love mine. Accurate, beautiful, and accurate, and accurate GP100, 6" barrel, stainless. Load her up to make lots of noise and fire, load her down to hit the bullseye. It's my favorite handgun.

I have a 6" GP100 for hunting and a SP101 that I carry.....LOVE THEM BOTH!

Hello friends and neighbors // Yep, a few have followed me home.

Nice looking 686 (I think) , your pic shows the sights well. The sights are one of the reasons my S&W 586, 6" is my favorite revolver hands down.

I remember pre 9mm popularity when most everyone at the handgun range shot .22 or .38/357 , some 44mag and 45 but not much. No one even noticed the noise.

Now with most folks shooting 9mm and more shooting 380s the magnums make quite a statement.

Glad you found a .357 that works for you.

I've only had snub nose wheel guns until I got my hands on a 6-incher, I can't believe how accurate this gun is! The trigger is unlike any other as well.

Took my S&W to the range yesterday. Can't carry it. Don't want to shoot it indoors without ears.

I have a S&W M19 4" and a Dan Wesson 715 with 2" and 6" barrels, and I love them both. However, I wouldn't want to shoot either one, even outdoors with .38 target load wadcutters, without hearing protection.

Love it, man. .357 is a great doitall round.

Got this Dan Wesson last week. Love shooting it.

I've come around to the .357 after being a big .44 fan. Now I can't imagine not having a K-frame .357. Much more comfortable to carry and shoot for me. On the lookout for something like a 4" Model 28 as well still, or maybe a prelock 4" 686.

My S&W 19, well used before I picked it up. Not the best picture, and I have cleaned it since taking this:

Sooner or later some Colt had to crash the party

Still haven't tried the new Hogue grip yet, hope to get some range time in this weekend since the big gun show got cancelled due to weather.

@ content - yup, it is a 4" barrell 686; it is identical to the one my uncle carried as a Highway Patrolman.

@ bikemutt - nice looking Colt, would love to get myself a 3" or 4" Python; prices have gotten pretty crazy on them though.

 

[SaxonPig]

Colts? OK.

 

[maskedman504]

@ SaxonPig - surely, you are not taunting me!

 

[ColtPythonElite]

I've got a Colt or two. This one's still got the new car smell to it:

 

[soloban]

Love my 6" stainless GP100. Shoot it with 158gr XTPs over a healthy dose of H110. kaTHUMP!!

 

[WvHiker]

I'm a new .357 owner. Going to hit the range this Tuesday with 110, 125, 140, and some 158 grain ammo and see why the Sp101 likes best. I put a bunch of .37d through it last week. Fun to be shooting a revolver again.

 

[jmstevens2]

I do carry mine sometimes, and wouldn't it be easier to ask who doesn't love them?

[gamestalker]

My daily carry side arm is a S&W 66-5 snubby and I absolutely love it! I handload for it with H110 or 296 full house magnum loads with two speed loaders, one has 158 gr. XTP's, the other 125 gr. xTP's, and I have a cylinder full of 158 gr. Gold Dots.

Here are a couple. A 2 1/2", 4", and 6".

Smith 686

Ruger Security Six

Colt Trooper Mk III

 

[MCgunner]

I have two Taurus 66s (3 and 4" barrels) and a 6.5" Ruger blackhawk as well as a Rossi 92 carbine in the caliber and I've owned others, a Smith 19, a Ruger Security Six, and a Ruger 2.25" SP101. The SP101 was the one with the biggest fireball. The 3" Taurus 66 is a carry, lately in a fanny pack. It's quite an accurate revolver and I've always been partial to the caliber as my Security Six was my first center fire handgun. I had a cap and ball '51 Navy before that and a .25ACP, though. .38/.357 is the first handgun I handloaded for and the first cartridge gun I cast for.

These are the two women my wife is not jealous of. S&W 686 and Colt Python in blue steel (for the newbies).

 

[BYJO4]

The S&W 357 had been my favorite revolver since buying my first one back in the 70s. I shoot all of mine on a regular basis.
