I really want this pistol talk to me in or out of it.. I was gonna send out my other revolver and have it milled out for moon clips,not that it really matters, but this thing is great.

Eight shot 357. This thing is heavy in your hand. I like the featherweight version of it, but the one that I picked up at the store didn’t work out of the box.

Grab a baseball bat and whack your hand as hard as you can six times... pause three seconds and slam your hand again, but follow that with three blows to the web of your hand between your thumb and fore finger.
There. Now you know what it is like to fire two cylinders of 357 magnum though that gun.
 
The photo doesn’t do it justice or how it actually works the guys at the gun store super cool about it. They let me play with a bunch of them.

When I pointed out that the other one didn’t work they’re like what do you mean and then there was a whole conference about what the f*** was wrong with it? It’s got like that safety key for Massachusetts compliance or this one doesn’t.
 
My 360 PD has a titanium and it’s a featherweight. It hurts your hand when you shoot it. I feel like shooting this one with more mass would be a more pleasant experience, but let me tell you I wouldn’t buy this to be a target gun.. the problem with my 360 PD it’s so light you could lose it and you have no idea
 
That's a nice piece. Sadly, it's not uncommon for guns coming out of S&W these days to have to go right back to the factory for repair. A few years ago I bought a used 351C which was fine for a while but then became almost imposslbe to get fired cases out of the cylinder. It was only two of the seven, but I called S&W and they said send it back for repair.

A couple of weeks later they sent an email saying the gun was "unrepairable" and they were going to send me a new one. The even agreed to send a no lock version. Cool. In due course I picked it up from the FFL and brought it home. First trip to the range it had several failures to fire. I tried different brands of ammuntion with no better results.

Called them and they said send it back. This time they fixed it by replacing several parts and "realigning" the yoke. It's been fine since I got it back, but still a new from the factory gun should work.

There are a lot of similar stories about new production guns failing out of the box at the Smith & Wesson forum.
 
I put five .357 rounds through a friends and had enough of that.

You always could put 38 in it but if you do that, then you’re .357 seven rounds get stuck in there..

I was shooting my 360 PD up at the NES shoot I don’t know why I guess for fun and the cylinder release screw fell out and shot across the place. We never found it.

That was after like I don’t know 50 rounds in total on the gun

I’m just torn. I really want the gun and I also want a TV in my shower. I guess I’m gonna get both.
 
You don’t even think about it you put laserbeam on everything this doesn’t need it, but I’m definitely gonna need a new holster cause I don’t have one in my pile of holster that’s gonna fit
 
I have a 642 that's just fine what what I want.

Go with something like this and load it with 44 special. Pussy cat.
Besides, short barrels steal a lot of magnum oompf because the powder doesn't have time to burn.

And 44 special is still a BIG ole piece of lead.

With the flash and fire blind your opponent either way
 
I just had to pay $250 more for something I don’t wanna get into so this doesn’t seem like I’m better and better option. It’s not like I’m ever gonna escape debt. At least I have shit I like as opposed to all my other bills.
