Re: OT: .38 S&W Special Mightier than .357 Mag or .44 Mag

Being a .357mag fan, since my first Ruger BH, and the amazing versatility of this round, I have to disagree, but only on THAT point. While a .38spl will kill most things inside of 25yds, with a well placed shot, a .357mag has more room to play, even for a novice handloader with a 6.5" revolver....

Rossi in .357mag/38spl

I wandered by a gun store nearby today, and was pleased to actually see a .357mag/38spl Rossi behind the counter, so I had a look at it. It's nice, but it has a 16" barrel, and I was kind of hoping for something like an 1894. At $449.00, I let it stay there. It was nice to see one, since I've b...
