While I pass out Cigars, my good friend will post pics of latest edition to our family. I apologize for being computer stupid. Be Patient while we try to figure out what we are going to name our baby. I could not have done this without everyone's help and info. Dumped my Taurus Ultralite and EEA...

Does anybody out there make a quality laser grip for a revolver other than Crimson Trace for a Ruger GP100? If so, what is it and where can i get it? As always, thanks for all of everyone's help and answers. This is the best site that I've found. Doc

First of all I'd like to thank the dozens and dozens of commentators to whom I have begun to understand what it takes to obtain "The Gun". In past posts I went back and forth between the S&W 686 4" 357 and the Ruger GP100 same. I went out and felt each, hefted them and tried them out at my...

Anyone have a blue book so I can evaluate the following; 1- Taurus PT-25 rose wood grips with 2 clips immaculate condition less than 50 shots fired. 1- Taurus 38 spec 2 " hammerless ultralite titanium same condition less than 75 rounds fired. 1- EAA 4' 357 mag windicator 1000 rounds fired in...

I was on another site and posed the question I asked the other day about getting a great quality new /used revolver. Someone recommended the Chiappa White Rhino 4" 357 mag revolver. I went on their site and was quite impressed. But, that's what a sales site is supposed to do. Does anyone have...

What's the difference between a 6 or 7 round cylinder in a S&W 686 4" 357 mag besides having one more or less bullet or is this just buyers choice? I'm getting very close to making a decision on this.

Okay. I can go out and buy a BNIB S & W 686 4" 357 or a Ruger GP100 4" 357. But how in the world do I know what to look for in getting a used one? I don't have a relationship with any dealers. I really don't want to be taken for a ride and certainly don't trust any pawn dealers. So, spend the...

I only want 357's to carry. I own a Rossi and EAA plus an 1966 Python. If one had a budget between $500 to $800 and barrel length 4". what would chose and why? Also, I prefer Steel not Polymer. I am adding one thing to this post. I have a laser sight on my Rossi. Do any of your suggestions allow...

I am a newbie to gun care and recently used a couple of hundred rounds of hand loads that smoked and spit some fire when shot. I noticed that my cylinder started to get burn marks on the end of the cylinder. Any ideas on how to remove the burn marks? I tried Hopes #9 and 2 other cleaners but...

Using a 38 P+ 125 gr. HP in a 2" revolver what the deviation difference at 5 yards vs. 20 yards? Then using a 4" revolver same scenario? Then 50 yards, then 100 yards? All responses welcome.

If you had your choice to get Speer, Hornady or Barnes bullet to hand load them to your specific load, which would you get. These loads will be somewhere between a 38 special + P and a 357 mag 140 grain load . All will be Hollow points. The 2- 357 mags are a Rossi 2" and a EAA Windictor 4 "...

Here's question # 43. I found an old box of PMC 38 spl. 158 Gr. ISP and tried to find it on line. No one sells this exact load anymore and I'd like to know whether to dump it or use it in any of my 357's. I don't particularly like PMC and stick to US made ammo. Does anybody know anything about this?

Okay, you all gave my great advice on mfg loads, now what's your take on making my own ammo, which shells and how many grains for HP's in both a 2" and a 4" 357 mag revolver. The 2" weighs 26 ounces and the 4" weighs 30 pounces unloaded . I have no problem using 125 grainers and the 158 grainers...

What determines the force of recoil in a 2 or 4 inch 357 mag revolver? is it Muzzle Energy ft·lb or Muzzle Velocity ft/sec. or a combo of both? I apologize if this has been asked before, but as I said before, 45 yrs. ago when I was on the Police Reserves you used what the Police used. Today, I...

Okay.Question number 47. Maybe I'm getting Old Timers and i'm sorry if this has been discussed before. I have a 4 " 357 mag revolver. What is the lightest grain you would recommend for SD? 110, 125, 140, 158 grain etc??? I like using hollow points. As always, all answers are appreciated . My...

Okay. It's time for dumb question # 18. What are everyone's thoughts on what to use in a 4" 357 mag revolver for SD? Please take into consideration recoil, ability to speed load and overall quality. I'm am not asking about target practice or plinking around. All comments are appreciated. I asked...

I really want to keep all my revolvers spanking clean. I've noticed that they are all starting to have areas that I can't remove the carbon? spots and slight burn marks. What's a good cleaning solution that will not stink up my house or cause my wife's COPD to act up. Or, do I have to give it to...

I'd like to hear what everyone has to say about this. What 38 spec +P HP ammo has for either a 2" or 4 " revolver. 1- The lowest recoil. 2- Which ones would you use for Critical Defense. This is driving me crazy. From what I can tell, Speer 135 gr.38spec+P is tops. also Hornady 110 grain 38...

SGammo.com just got in 600 boxes of Speer Gold dots 135 gr HP spec+P ammo. 50 round box - 38 Special +P Speer Gold Dot 135 grain Hollow Point Ammo - 53921 In case anybody wants them

I don't understand why more people don't love Hornady ammo. For Critical Defense I'm leaning to use Hornady 38 special +P 110.gr. hollow point or the 357 mag 125 grain of the same. I know Speer make a 38 spec +P 135 gr. ammo, but this is very difficult to obtain. Both my 2 & 4 inch 357's love...
