Who loves your .357 magnums?

[azgunner]

I have four 357's. I love each one,. Shoot them also. I carry my Speed Six quite regular as my CCW. It is a boomer. But I know if I do my job, the weapon and round I use will do its.
I am a "Wheel Gun" shooter. I do own Glock and a 1911 ACP. But it is the six shooter that I really rely on.

 

[JohnD13]

My Security Six is my favorite .357.

 

[sixgunner455]

Yes, I do. 13-3, 3" RB.

 

[Flint Ridge]

Oh, the beauty, accuracy and noise of the .357 and they can eat .38 specials just for plinking. Some of mine, several 66's and a 27-2 on this trip.

 

[wheelyfun66]

Love my Smith .357 K and J frames...

My very first handgun was a blue vented Dan Wesson 15-2 that I picked up on my 21st birthday. Sold it when we had kids. :banghead:
Fast forward 30 years later... just picked one up again. Don't know why it took so long, but now that I have it back I won't be parting with it again.

That is a helluva first gun and I understand your qualms with selling it. Glad you got another.

Going off on a tangent, it is kind of like these pawn store shows nowadays; people selling their grandfather's WWII uniform or their mother's jewelry from her estate to get some gambling money. (no offense intended to you- wife, kids, I get it) Hell, I went on a cruise to Mexico and my Dad bought me a gold bracelet that I sold for weight when gold prices were shooting up in the mid 2000s- if I had it I still wouldn't wear it, but it would serve as a great memory; my Dad still tells stories about regretting selling his class ring..The jeweler said,"Are you sure son? I have to hit it with a hammer to get out the plastic jewel and weigh it." He nodded and saw it get smashed.

I own four handguns and my favorite is a stainless .357 Security six I bought this time last year.
Here it's twin! http://home.mchsi.com/~zg1000/Security_Six_008_a.jpg

Luv my 28-2 4" and my 19-2. 6"
I would love to get a 686 snub pre lock

 

[elano]

Love mine is well! I have a model 28 smith, some ruger sixes and a lever in 357. My favorite caliber!!

I would absolutely love to get a lever action in .357; I currently only have one in .30-30. I think the .357 would be a hoot!

That is a handsome collection of .357s sir!

 

[psyshack]

I love no gun! But ,,, I sure do like this one.

 

[Fishslayer]

A pair of no dashes. M66 & M686. The "red ramp" on the M66 is Krylon flouro orange paint.



And how 'bout some love for the bull? My first wheelgun. '82 vintage Taurus 669. It actually performs very well and the finish is beautiful.

 

[wow6599]

Nothing fancy, but it's the only .357 I have left......

 

[22-rimfire]

I own three currently (Colt, Ruger, S&W). I only shoot my Colt Trooper Mark III with any regularity. I like the revolver a lot, but I much prefer to shoot either 41 mags or 22's. Of late, it has mostly been 22's.

 

[wankerjake]

I loves my 357's. I think I have...

#2 Smith 686's, in 4" and 6"
#1 Smith 66 2.5"
#1Ruger GP100 4"
#1 Ruger SP101 2.25"

Hmm, looks like I'm down to 5.

 

[FreddyKruger]

i suppose this would be a good place to ask...

how well do the uberti/pietta etc reproductions go with full noise 38/357 loads?

 

[texgunner]

I must like them, I have 13 of them. Twelve Smiths and one Ruger.

 

[CH47gunner]

I've found that I have a certain understanding with the .357 Mag. Thats not to say that there aren't certain few .44's around as well.

Although I weighed in on that other thread as drifting away from the magnums -- I have to say that if I was compelled to own only one handgun, it would likely be a .357 revolver -- prolly one of my 3-inchers (the S&W 65 or the S&W Pro-60):



These revolvers would allow me to shoot at pretty much any power level that I could reasonably expect to want to shoot -- from the mildest .38 target wadcutters to a 180-grain thumper...
