It's nice they're chambered in .357 Mag because then I figure I have a stout lil' revolver to fire .38 Special +P. The .357 Mag capability would be reserved for when I had the urge to start a good grass-fire. wink

The M60 is my choice - a little handier, a little more refined, and with the adjustable version better sights. The 3" M60 with adjustable sights is one of those handguns where everything comes together.


Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
