What is your favorite .357magnum and why?

 

[gstiegeljr]

My Smith and Wesson 19-3 because it is the only .357 I have ever owned.

 

[octagon]

I have handled many and it is hands down the Colt Python. It litterally was like a work of art. I wish I owned one.

 

[SpiritNugent]

The Smith and Wesson 6" Revolver I got. Model 686

 

[Big Ken]

I had a Ruger Blackhawk 357 years ago....I always liked the Blackhawks because of being no-nonsense workhorses.

I have a S&W 6" 586. It was the first handgun I purchased when I turned 21. It shoots and handles like a dream - the best single action trigger I ever tried. I have taken one deer, fall turkey, and a few groundhogs with it.

I would like to get a Ruger Blackhawk with the 4 5/8 barrel. I think this would be the perfect woods walking handgun.

I have a Blackhawk I purchased in 1972 and it will always be my number one. Feed it what you will, she blasts them all.

 

[Peck Hill Will]

My favorite is my S&W 19-3 snubbie, but the my most useful is a S&W 686 6".

[PGHHUNTER]

I love my nickel plated S&W 586

 

[DAVEOTHG]

mY Dan Wesson cause is is the only one I have.

 

[greenstang232]

I have a Taurus 6" revolver. Its not bad for shooting targets and such, but its too big to carry anywhere. I'd like to get a S&W 686 3" or a Ruger SP101 for carrying fishing and hiking back in the mountains.

 

[mossie]

Gotta agree with you Octagon; I have owned and shot many revolvers and hands down the Colt Python is the best I have ever shot. I have a 6" royal blue version that really like; it's perfect for me for just about everything I would ever use a revolver for.

The second best revolver I ever owned was a model 657 41 mag. in 6". It was outstanding and like a fool I traded it off. I wish I had it back.

 

[larry da deer]

I SECOND THE S&W 686 6 INCH

 

[Moss]

I just bought a Ruger GP100 and it fits me perfectly

 

[atr]

My S&W model 19 from the 70's cause its so cool looking, the finish looks like dark blue glass

 

[Hemry27]

+1 for the GP100.

 

[BuckMatty]

GP100 again. It feels right in my hand.

 

[bearschlayerx2]

I had a Herters Power Mag 357 with a Herters scope on it( that I traded to another member on here for a 270 rifle) that was my favorite single action. My favorite double action is a Smith and Wesson model 27 with 8and3/8" barrel

 

[DennyF]

S&W M686 four inch bbl, original year of manufacture. Wouldn't want anything else.

Toss up between the only two I own:

One is my first handgun purchased in the 70's, a 6" S&W M19. I shot NRA Bullseye with this for years and did fairly well. I even handgunned woodchcucks with this and did okay. It seemed that any handload I made for this worked well and was accurate.

The other is a S&W M27. Heavy revolver but a sturdy robust wheelgun that's still pretty refined in the action/trigger pull department.

I'd have a tough time chosing between the two. Each has their strengths and weaknesses.
