Most the time I carry ,a Charter Arms 357 Mag..its light ,ported , stainless, even though its a 357 I mostly carry 38 Spl. 158 gr LSWC or 158gr.LHPSWC... I have rubber grips on it now instead of the compact wooden grips pictured.

Can I pick your brain about disassembly/reassembly? I have one where the sear fell out through the grip while field stripping per the best instructions I could find on the net. It's still a pile of parts in a Ziplock until I can figure out how to get it back together. Back to the OP: My carry is more field than farm, but my choices are Ruger SP-101 .357 for general woods carry or Browning Buckmark for small game. Or both. Ruger for bank vault stout and reliable (although heavy). Browning for accuracy, trigger, and sights, and obviously different targets.

I have rubber grips on it now instead of the compact wooden grips pictured. I gotta admit to not carrying much when I'm working. A gun gets in the way. When I'm riding a tractor or something I've carried a lot of things. Most recently it is usually the Smith and Wesson Governor because it's pretty versatile.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
