At one time the 357 was all the rage now hardly a thread about it. I admit I have let my 1911's pretty much take their places as working pistols and carry pieces. How did I get along with just an old flat top Ruger 4 5/8 barreled single action for all those years? That and a New Model with a 6 1/2 inch barrel did just about all my centerfire pistol chores for years. Even for a carry pistol the old Flat top wasn't that hard to lug around.

Not for me.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong. Getting into reloading to save money is like getting married for free sex.

Coonan and Desert Eagle have been replaced by 10mm Auto. It also took some sales from .357 Magnum revolvers, but .357 revolvers are still selling. Colt has helped by introducing Python and King Cobra revolvers.

I recently started getting into revolvers as of now I have a nice 28-2 and a 19-5. I really need to get target grips for that model 19. I need to find a model 27 next, I don't know why I guess just to have one.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I need to find a model 27 next, I don't know why I guess just to have one. Functionally, the 27 is obsolete (designed at a time when metallurgy wouldn't support a K-Frame .357 Magnum), but I agree it would be cool to own a nice specimen of one.

My 686 4" no dash would probably be my last handgun to go. My 19-3 isn't going anywhere anytime soon

Yeah that’s why Colt come out with the Python and King Cobra again. Lever guns don’t stick on the shelf long either. Not to mention Kimber and Henry.
The revolver I want is an R-8.

You seem to have .357 confused with .41 Magnum. From 10mm days I seen to recall in Winchester Silvertip rendition ballistics of both 10mm and .41 Magnum are identical. The boomers will say they can "hot rod" .41 using reloads I say why not just get 10.9mm Magnum?

The revolver I want is an R-8. Congratulations, that is really bold move: eight shots of .357 plus rails for optics and light/laser mounting.

I was looking at a 4" Dam Wesson 357 yesterday, combat wood grips. He was firm at $550.00, I offered 450.00 but it was very nice shape!

I wouldn’t say dead. It’s just so much easier and concealable to shove a plastic high capacity auto in you pants then a 4” 357 nowadays.
