I used to have a 6” Model 28 that was my hunting revolver for deer and smaller game. Laser accurate, I just couldn’t miss. My son shot a whitetail, silhouetted at the top of a hill by the setting sun. Guessing elevation for a vitals hit, the slug struck it in the low neck, dropping her in her tracks. 170 yards paced off.
I love N frame 357’s, having a 38 Outdoorsman, 3 1/3 inch Model 27 that was an FBI issue firearm, and the previously mentioned Highway Patrolman.
