Smith quit making k frame 357's for a reason, guys.

This was a seagull post, he flew in, pooped on stuff and flew away.

I use a .380 Walther or a .38 Model 37 for CCW and a 12 gauge and a .45 for home defense. I've owned a bunch of .357's over the years and currently shoot a 6 inch Model 19 for fun. I, please note that this is just me, would not pick a .357 for a primary self defense sidearm unless that was all I could get. I agree with a previous poster, too much recoil, too much muzzle blast and flash.

The .357 is a classic cartridge and the Model 19 is a classic sidearm, both deserving a place in firearms history. Meanwhile, as our seagull flys into the setting sun, thanks for the information but I'll keep my 6 inch .357 and enjoy every round I fire in it.
