357 magnum

I currently have 2 Taurus revolvers and am thinking about adding a third in 357 as I am lacking a gun in that caliber. What do you guys think of this one? I'm also open for suggestions on other makes such as Ruger or S&W.

Taurus makes some pretty good stuff, but I prefer S&W for DA revolvers. I have a 6" 686 in 357 mag, and you could do much worse, it's an excellent pistol.

I'd just make sure to get a large frame pistol because the recoil on the .357 mag isn't comfortable. I have no experience with the Taurus, but was happy with the S&W.

The fun thing to do is to shoot a couple of clips of .38 special through it, then switch to .357 mag and watch the guy in the lane next to you jump.

Just to be technical, a revolver isn't a pistol.

Mark, in other cultures/languages, "pistol" or "pistola" refers to all handguns. In America we make a distinction between a pistol (semi auto) and a revolver. Get it?
