I have a close friend back in Indiana who gave up on his 77/44 and sold it. He said he could not get it to shoot.

I am switching to .357 handguns. With some skepticism, I bought a 77/357 as a companion to them. I mounted a 4x scope with parallax set at 50 yards. I sighted it in at 50 yards with American Eagle 158 grain jacketed hollow point ammunition. It put 5 shots in one .5" hole at 50 yards.

I wonder if its the heavier barrel on the .357 Magnum version?
