.357 Fever! What to buy next?

[graycrait]

I wish I had a DW pistol pack.  I just threw that out there for the OP to consider among the many other .357s folks suggested.

A friend of mine had a Dan Wesson Hunter Pack years ago.

I want to find one of these sets one day also

[tercel89]

I was about to sell my new never shot GLOCK19 to get back into the revolver world. I was looking for a Ruger GP100 with the 4 inch barrel. What an awesome and strong revolver. Some people don't think that Ruger is very serious or is a "poor man's revolver" but I have had several and they will handle the hottest loads you can make and still come out shining. When I get my GP100 I will also get a set of reloading dies for it. I cant wait !!!!  But I am going to force myself to wait after we see who is elected first . After next year , there may be only revolvers available

I went back and made the "maker" of the 19 I was talking about in all capital letters LOL . GLOCK 19 and not S&W 19  LOL .

Keep the 19! After this I'm buying a third 19.

A SP101 with a 3" barrel is one of the best all around choices for carry / shooting. For general shooting no carry. GP100 or 686 4"-5" barrel.

And to maximize the full potential of the 357. 6"+ barrel.

There ya go ! I agree Ruger SP and GP all the way ! One day I hope to kill a deer using a GP100.

Found a Dan wesson today, box, gun looked like 4"  barrel, and 2 " barrel , tool etc. Was 999 I think

I had a Colt Trooper 6" barrel in .357 once. I kick myself for ever selling it. 

Finding one will be a task but I'm sure a few 4" barrels are out there.

My favorite "shooter" .357

There seems to be quite of few Martini Cadets that have been converted from .310 to .357 floating around....  

 

[nightrunner]

Well , what'd ya get?

I'm sure you guys are wondering...

Thanks to Hozzie(an AWESOME guy to deal with), I am the new owner of a Smith Model 66 No Dash. 

I love stainless revolvers. It feels amazing in my hand, and it sure is purty to look at!!!

S`omebody needs to start a show and tell thread. I've got a few to share myself.

[Choatecav]

Agree with TNShooter83.  I love the Ruger SP101.  I have two of them and it is my carry gun when I am home on my farm.

I have no idea how many J, K and N frames I have owned but even if you don't want to slick up the trigger or there is no need this DVD will allow you to fearlessly tread where most won't go.  Watch it once or twice, then get the right tools (minimal cost) and then commence to doing a nice fluff and buff trigger job.  http://www.miculek.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=9

Find a Ruger Security or Service Six.Same size as a Smith K frame but 10+ times more durable with magnum ammo.

Very nice! I passed the opportunity to buy one of these full sets a couple of years back. Not one of my smarter moves.

Me too but it was 10 years ago. I was a handgun hog staring at a wristwatch so I don't feel too bad.

That was a very good choice. Probably almost maybe the most versatile perfect revolver ever conceived. A combat masterpiece.
