I bought a 16" blued 357 recently and am darned impressed with how accurate it is. I can hit water bottles at 60 yds offhand. One of my buddies has been wearing out the big hogs with it. I am going to be adding another one of these to my stable soon in 44 mag or 45 colt. Mine survived the Argo sinking with it in the gun rack the other day.. only a little split in the stock that i can fix.
