While I'm not new to guns I am new to revolvers. Can you tell me the price of a smaller .357 double action? Brands quality and so on. Looking for a five shot around $300 to $350.------ thanks, jeffer
 
Three years ago I was able to get a ported Taurus 605 for $315. A few weeks ago, I got a 3" M65 Smith and Wesson for $300. These prices reflect what the norm is, but I have seen these types a few dollars less every now and then. Personally, I love these type of guns. Some people have problems with shooting full power loads out of them but I like it myself. :) Another gun to look at would be the Ruger SP-101, I've never fired one, but I do like what I've seen. Good luck.

If I were going to buy a .357 mag I think the first one I would go take a look at would be the Taurus Model 627 Tracker. It is a 7 shot .357 mag with a 4 inch barrel that weighs about 32 ounces. Not sure what the price is. Probbably in the upper $300 to lower $400 range. I think that their is also a titanium model available that weights about 24-25 ozs but then that would jump the price up a couple of hundred bucks.
 
A Ruger SP-101 would be hard to beat. In my area you can get a new one for around $350. Look for a used one though. You can save a bundle with very little risk as these guns are extremely durable. You can't hardly wear them out.
 
For that $350 range, you can acquire a Smith & Wesson model 66 revolver. Saw one yesterday at a dealer, three inch barrel and Hogue rubber grips. I am sure that if you shop around, you can find the same type of deal.

No-brainer. Ruger SP101, your choice of barrel length. It WILL last forever. And talk to WEIGAND COMBAT HANDGUNS, INC.

I purchased a Taurus Model 605 (blued) in 1998 for $200 NIB. This has been an excellent gun. I recently saw a stainless model for not much more.
 
I bought my Ruger GP-100 with a 4" stainless, fully lugged barrel used but in the box with all of the original paperwork for $350. With the exception of an afternoon spent with a friend who owned a Colt Python, I've never shot a better revolver in .357. Great factory grip, crisp but friendly recoil, excellent adjustable sights, and accurate. What else does a revolver need?

(Of course if I had an extra $500 I'd see if I could trade the Ruger for the Python... it's in a class of it's own...)
