This, or a Ruger GP100. If you want something to conceal carry then get a SP101 or J-Frame.

I own one. I love it, but I've read that the forcing cone can crack if you put a lot of Magnum rounds through it. If I was going to choose between it and a new stainless 686 for carrying, I would choose the latter.

The k-frame 357s will do infinite 357 magnum rounds as long as they're heavy grain bullets.

They aren't rated for +P despite being all-steel. That should tell you all you need to know.

Your op, if you can get it. Need never buy another 357. Ever.
>>
>>33217379
depends, the local Cabelas has a few in .455 and .22. the .22 wasn't bad, but the two in .455 were very different prices because one had a shaved cylinder I think and the other was original. I think they wanted $1200 for the original? and like $500 for the .22

Light fast bullets break forcing cones.

>>33210227
If you've never shot revolvers before then I suggest a S&W 17 (or 18) and a few hundred range hours with that. Then, depending on what you actually want to do with said revolver you should either get a S&W 14 (if you find that you gravitate towards target shooting), a 4" 28, 686 or some such if you decide what you want is a "do everything" revolver, a S&W 638 if what you want is something to CC, or a S&W 629 with a 5" minimum barrel length if what you want to do is hunt with it.

>>33210227

In Murrica, I'd say just about anything made by Colt, Smith and Wesson, or Ruger would fit the bill honestly.

I'd say a Ruger GP100 in .357 magnum would be a good bet. Not to pricey and built like a tank, start off firing .38 special till you're used to it then jump up to .357.

Manurhin's are supposed to be great; but they're pricey and uncommon on this side of the pond.

A large one.
>>
>>33210227
The classic go-to is the S&W 625

686 for .38 and .357
>>
>>33210227

A S&W Model 10 or other K-frame with a 3" or 4" barrel

Very little recoil with .38, very accurate

If you really, really wanted to CC it you could, though it's not ideal, if that's one of your considerations
