I looking at buying an 8 shot 357. Wil shoot mostly 38s but wondered who had experience with the various models.

I've shot a Taurus Model 66 with a 7 shot cylinder. It shot fine, but I only shot 50 rounds through it.
What concerns me is that when you get past 6 shots the cylinder walls get thin.
Is this a problem? Not really, but it just makes me feel a bit more at ease knowing I have a little
extra metal between me and overcharged round that may help stop a cracked or blow the cylinder apart.

If you plan to shoot 38 mostly, I would not give it a second though.
But if you plan to make it a full time full power load workhorse,
I'd opt for a more robust 6 shot. Edited December 2, 2012 by TnShooter83
