,357 Revolver

[shaunbowler@yahoo.com]

I am looking for a .357
I would like a 2-4 inch barrel.
However, I do not want something that will break my wrist.
Please advise.

Ruger GP100 Match Champion. You can't go wrong. You'll love it.

Smith & Wesson 686P. 7 shots. Available in 2.5", 3", and 4.125" barrel lengths (as well as longer).

The 3" seems to be damned hard to find.

Chiapas Rhino 20DS
The Rhino fires from the lowermost chamber of the cylinder, rather than firing from the topmost chamber. That drastically reduces muzzle flip and perceived recoil which feels more like a gentle push straight back. Without any exageration firing a .357 Mag round feels like a .38 Spl, and firing a .38 Spl feels like firing a .22 Mag.
It is the most forgiving Magnum revolver ever made, period. Whoever says otherwise it's either lying or it didn't tried firing one.

Shoot .38 Special and you won't have to worry about a broken wrist.

To save the wrist and enjoy the shooting...

4 inch barrel.

686+, 4"
GP 100 also

More weight, less broken wrist bones.

I like the 6" 686+ though for a range toy

Pretty much covers the issue. I agree.

Wow.

Nothing wrong if one likes to eat McDonalds and drink Budweiser beer. Many people do, so I won't hold it against you.
I for one prefer more refined cuisine and good wine.
