I have been thinking about a 357 revolver so I do like all this good information.
Thanks.

I've always admired that Colt of yours, RR.

Yeah, a 357 revolver is pretty basic, Ernie. Does just about anything. It's a very useful tool.

Here's my old Ruger Security Six 357. It's somewhere between a K frame and an L frame Smith in size or a Ruger SP-101 and the larger and heavier Ruger GP-100 which replaced it. I like it because it is a sweeter handling gun than a Ruger GP-100. Takes down in seconds. These don't last long when they come up for sale. Pretty it ain't, but it shoots great. Can't wear one of these out.

Always liked those but you just don't see many locally.
I think they are of a perfect size da revolver.
I have 2 357 revolvers, SA Ruger Vaquero and an original Colt King Cobra.
I'll find a pic.

Classics are nice. If I can find one at a price that don't hurt, I may pick it up.
