I started out with Ruger revolvers when I bought a Super Single Six .22 revolver a few years ago on a whim. Fun to shoot, cheap to use, dead nuts accurate for a pistol.
After some outings to the range with it, I decided I wanted a larger caliber single action pistol, but I really didnβt want a .44 or larger hand cannon as most of the Ruger models are. With this in mind, I kept an eye out for a .357 version, a less common model. I found a really nice one in a Gunbroker.com auction that had been languishing. I tossed what I thought was a silly bid on it and moved on. Amazingly, I got an email a few days later stating that I had won the auction. Being a .357 magnum, it also shoots .38 special as well, which is what I typically shoot in it. I do so because it lets me shoot more rounds without fatigue that if I shot .357. I also like to mix rounds as well, just for fun. Itβs a stainless steel model with a 6.5β barrel. I added a set of rosewood grips from Altamont and it looks absolutely stunning with them. Loads of fun to shoot and highly accurate. A great single action pistol. -D > On Dec 13, 2019, at 8:51 AM, MG via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Lots of fun.
