Shooting the 357
How many like to shoot the 357? I have a Colt Python that is a joy to shoot and I also have a S&W model 19.

Re: Shooting the 357
These are fun and I hope to own one soon. I just haven't found one that I like yet.

Re: Shooting the 357
Do you like double or single action guns? I've also shot a Ruger that was very accurate. I also have had in my hand, a 4" model 19. They have a nice balance and are easy to conceal if the desire happened to be there.

Re: Shooting the 357
I would like a double action one. I have big hands and I didn't like the way the single action colts fit my hand, they were too small.

Great weapon and so darn flexable with all the different round you can use in it I have taken a few deer with.

Re: Shooting the 357
I like my S&W 640. Don't really get off on shooting, but it's a handy little bugger.

Re: Shooting the 357
Carried a SW M65 .357 for years, usually with +P .38 spl loads because the 60 round qualification course hurt my gunhand and sore hands equals flinch. We were issued the Speer 140 grain loads (about 1400 fps if I remember correctly). I shot the +P loads better and still have the pistol.

Re: Shooting the 357
I like 357 in both S&W and Sig. I have Pythons in 2" nickle, 4" stainless; S&W 66 in 2" and 340PD (Scandium/titanium) in 2"; and a Sig 239. The 12 oz 340 is a real knuckle buster with 357 rounds so I practice with 38 wadcutter. I figure if I have to use the 340 for its intended purpose, I will never notice the blisters.
