Analysis

This .357 Magnum revolver offers a solid blend of performance and design for both novice and experienced shooters. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges thanks to a well-aligned barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are thoughtfully crafted, with a grip that accommodates various hand sizes, promoting a secure hold during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is a key asset, as it functions smoothly under diverse conditions with minimal malfunctions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular attention to prevent wear on internal components. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge for some users. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4-5 pounds in single action, though slightly heavier in double action. Felt recoil is noticeable, particularly with full-power loads, but remains manageable with proper technique. Overall, it’s a dependable choice with considerations for upkeep.

Works really good

In double action you have to practice your shooting in order to hit the target in the right place. Single action is really good. Not a single problem shooting 500 rounds in two days.
