...the mighty 357 mag is solely a revolver cartridge where it excels. So are there more plastic cheaper pistols sold or pricier revolvers ?
Rick A Marlin 1894 lever action is a pretty solid gun in .357 Mag as well. I wish I never sold my 1980s Rossi Model 92. It was an exact replica of the Winchester 92 in .357 Magnum. The ones they make today have a safety lever on top. Didn't realize they would be unavailable in the future, or I likely would have kept it. It was pretty cool to have a Model 92 in .357 Magnum.

627- 8 shot. I've a pair, a 5" and a 4", they're awesome revolvers.

Keep thinking it's dead. More rounds for me on the shelf then.

Such pistol designs will not shoot rimmed cartridges so the mighty 357 mag is solely a revolver cartridge where it excels. No, not quite correct. You've forgotten the Desert Eagle and Coonan Model B. Also, at one time the Parker semi auto. I have never owned any of the 357 mag semi autos. The grip never felt right for me, on the ones that I handled. And, I was skeptical of reliable function.

627- 8 shot. I've a pair, a 5" and a 4", they're awesome revolvers. I have the L-frame version of the Pro Series in a 4" barrel. It is a very well put together revolver. This old M19 6" has been with me for a long time now. It's pretty danged slick.

I've got one of them early Rossi 92s has a saddle ring no kind of safety and this was even before they put that stupid puma symbol on it they did for a short time...

The .357 mag is brilliant in a carbine.

Actually both of those .357's wear Ahrends stocks now. I surely wish that company was still in business.

The .357 isn't dead. It's just that anything and everything to be said about it has been said ad nauseum. Now it just soldiers along going about its business, an icon that has achieved benchmark status that doesn't need a lot of gum-flapping to justify its existence. That was my thought, exactly. Not much interested in another 357 revolver, but I'd love to get my hands on an old saddle ring Rossi 92.

The 357 isn’t ded but the fox certainly is. Colt 357, before the Python…

Actually both of those .357's wear Ahrends stocks now. I surely wish that company was still in business. I hear you, MOGC. BTW, for other custom revolver grips fans: I spoke with Robin at Herrett's today. They are no longer selling custom checkered stocks. I was wanting a set like those on their website and, if you read Mackay_Sagebrush's posts, like those on the Model 19 he gave his daughter for her wilderness guide trips. The lady who had been working at Herrett's for 42 years passed away unexpectedly recently. She had been the sole architect of the custom grips since the elderly gentleman that proceeded her passed away. Robin told me they had tried to train several people under Dee over the years, but they wouldn't last long enough to become proficient and now they have no one else to do the custom work. Customers can now only get the smooth stocks. Sad, the passing of artisans. RIP, Dee.

I sold my 686 no-dash 4" on here last year, then I was left with a bit of .38 Spcl and .357 ammo. Sooo....I bought a Colt King Cobra 2". Looks like I'm keeping one for good in one form or another.

There are a few around here, including a Python.
I've never liked the round, mostly the sharp crack I guess.
Prefer 44s and 45s, 9mm for carry.
But if by chance, a M19 came along for too cheap? 4 or 6 inch barrel? I'd jump right on it. This,...this will be the perfect woods gun.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I slimmed the factory grips, re finished and re checkered them. I also slicked up the action. I used it for my CCW test using some cowboy action low powered .38 Spec. loads. A bragging target, but it was shot some years ago. Don't think I could repeat it. Instructor was a LEO SWAT Sniper. He liked it. DF

To me the factory version is too fat. I like them a bit more slender. My checkering was 18 lpi. DF
