    Great cartridge. I load & shoot far more 38 Special loads through my ancient Model 19, but now and again some Full Fury 357 magnum loads manage to sneak into the cylinder!



    I've had this one a couple of decades, and bought it used, in bad shape. The pitting on the cylinder was bad enough that it couldn't be nicely re-blued, so I had it Cerakoted. Great little gun, I carry it often when fishing, hiking or mountain biking. Then it's loaded with magnums! Pinned and recessed. Nice old gun.

    Meanwhile, mostly it gets a steady diet of pretty light 38 Special/158 gr lead handloads.

    Regards, Guy

    Great old revolver!
    I mostly stick to .38 special as well, like you those pesky magnum rounds sneak into my range bag[emoji6] something about a full power magnum load put a big smile on a guys face. [emoji16]
