Guess I shouldn't be an enabler. But, if it feels good do it. Here is an old model, 3 screw frame Ruger Blackhawk .357 without the factory safety changes. It will stay that way. It still spells a 4 click action that spells C-O-L-T. I carry all 6 chambers loaded & haven't had an AD with it. Not bad with full bore .357s and a rear ***** cat with any .38 spl load.



Even though I have these 2, I am still beating the bushes for an SP 101 with a short barrel. The Police Service 6 will take heavy magnum handloads. Recoil is sharp, but controllable. The LCR has pretty vicious recoil with 158 gr. full power magnums. Very controllable with lighter bullet magnums or .38 spls.

Yes, I bet the airweight smiths are the same too. I only shoot .38 spcl or +p in my LCR. I readily admit to not having .357s on my man card for flyweight, snub nose revolvers.

Some peoples world goes back and forth and others goes round and round....I'm definitely the latter...I fell in love with S&W revolvers at 12 years old when my grandpa gave me a beautiful K22 revolver and have been in love ever since.....The K22 was stolen in a burglary some years later and I still grieve over losing it....

I guess we all have let some guns go that we later realize was a mistake and my 2 were a 4" blue model 57 .41 mag and a 4 3/4" Ruger Blackhawk .41 mag....This was around 1983 or so and .44 magnum Smiths were impossible to find so I went with the .41 but at that time I didn't reload and the only two loads for the .41 mag were the full power rounds and the lighter and hard to find police load....Let me tell you, both those guns would kick the crap out of you with the full power stuff and like someone else mentioned, my middle knuckle on my shooting hand still hurts....I traded both guns for the new then .45 acp S&W 645 which was my first semi auto pistol....Still regret that move...

On a side note, I had a gunsmith do a trigger job on the Blackhawk and he messed it up and I ended up with a dangerously light trigger so I sent it back to Ruger with a note explaining what I had done and asked them how much it would cost to put it back to factory specs....A couple weeks later I got the gun back in like new shape and the invoice said "No Charge".....Ruger has some mighty fine customer service....
