ShackThat's the first Wildey in 357 AMP I've heard of anyone having. I gave some thought to getting one myself when I heard they were now chambering for the 44 AMP. How do you like it? Do you load your own or have them custom loaded?

Mke / TxWell let's see, I have two different GP's, a SW, and three different Contender barrels. So that would only be 4 ...right?

300H&HI have one. A Ruger Old Model Blackhawk, but it's unfired in the box...
I have a S&W 38-44 Heavy Duty, does that count?
I know everything's moved to autos, but I'm tired of picking up brass after I shoot. That's why my two 45 ACPs sit at home and the 38-44 has all the fun!
I'm actually planning on selling one of the 45 ACPs to bankroll purchase of a 357, so hopefully I'll have 2 1/2 soon!

larrysI have just one, and I had to look hard for it to make sure I still had it. 6" stainless GP100. I pick up the 41s before I get to this GP100.

Leo L.I have a Ruger BH I bought in the 60's that was a .357. A few years ago I had it converted to .44 Special and then realized that I gotta have a .357. So I bought a GP100, 6", and like it alot but it needs trigger work.

Too each his own, one of my friend probably has 25 of them and uses them for deer hunting.

DWrightI just have 2. I use my 6" GP100 with 180 gr. LBT WLN GC bullets, backed by 16 gr. 'Lil gun powder.
My other is a bobbed, SP101 for urban carry.
But have gone thru about 40 of them!
I don't trust a man that don't own a good .357!

DuckearI just luv me some revolvers.
This a great time to be a revolver lover.
In my area, a bunch of very nice used older revolvers are popping up as the owners have to trade them in on some imported plastic abomination in .40 S&W

Just one: I call her "The Beast"
since she kicks harder then any gun I own.
Wish she had a 3" barrel, so I'd actually get .357 ballistics. I'm shooting 148 grain Fiochi at 1131 fps.

That is one scary picture. The hammer is back and it looks like rounds are loaded plus a bunch of stuff in the trigger guard.
Those markings on the frame??? Are they to show the group sizes swinging like electrons?
