.357 MAG

Featured Replies

Whats the deal with the .357 mag. Just trying to learn the different rounds. I've shot a 45, so its a skinnier but longer case than the .45. Whats the recoil like, etc etc.

If I can get a box before the weekend, I'll bring it along for the Taurus. I've only ever shot .357 out of that gun, and the recoil is just a bit heavier than the .38 you shot out of it on Sunday. Maybe about the same as the .38 out of Lynn's gun, but not nearly as bad as Tom's .44.

well my wheels are really spinning these days, and I'm feeling all lonely without having a pistol anymore. I'm really looking into picking up one of these DW revolvers and the .357 mags are plentiful so I might try and get one of these since I have 3 pistol permits. Then I might just order my cbob and when it comes in, it comes in.

 

Also I think everyone and their mother should own atleast one revolver if not more. I would get one in .44 mag but their way more expensive.

Simple explanation - 357mag is a 38 on steroids. The case is a little longer, muzzle energy is higher and the velocity is higher.

Oh and the price tag on magnums is quite high, (sigh) I have to get into reloading.

 

I thought you fired both my 357's at the last clay meet.

I may have, but with so many guns to choose from that day it's hard to pick out a single one from memory. Except the .44. That one I remember.

I very well could of Tom. I don't remember what I did yesterday let alone on sunday :) Let alone last clay meet :)

 

I might look into one of these, especially if i can find one that has a shorter and longer barrel. Sooooo many guns, not deep enough pockets. Anyone want to adopt me, I'm up for sale

Just gotta decide...... Taurus, Ruger, or S&W

 

If i know you, S&W :lol:

Those were cheap mild loads in the 44 that day (UMC yellow box).
