Are you a revolver snob?
Re: Are you a revolver snob?
I have been thinking about a 357 revolver so I do like all this good information.
Thanks.

Re: Are you a revolver snob?
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.

Re: Are you a revolver snob?
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.

Re: Are you a revolver snob?
I think I have a few that RR will like.
I actually added another 1851a couple years ago, guess I should update the photo.

Re: Are you a revolver snob?
Classics are nice. If I can find one at a price that don't hurt, I may pick it up.
