I want this pistol

[straightshooterjake]

That is a nice gun, and you should get it if you want it. And in an all steel N-frame, .357 is not a big deal. It will have some recoil, but nothing like an aluminum J-frame. I also don't think it being a snubby makes too much difference for shooting comfort. The short barrel may affect the velocity of .357 significantly, but that is a separate issue.

The one thing I will comment on is the unfluted cylinder. I know some people really like the look of it, but extra weight on the cylinder has disadvantages in a double action revolver. When you pull the double action trigger, your finger strength has to rotate the cylinder. The heavier the cylinder is, the more effort that takes. Compared to the weight of cocking the mainspring, the cylinder weight is a minor issue, but it still matters.

And then once the cylinder is moving, the cylinder stop has to stop it. When the cylinder is moving fast in rapid double action, there is significant impact on the cylinder stop, the notches in the cylinder, and on the frame where the cylinder stop protrudes. Over time, these are significant wear areas in a revolver, and the heavy cylinder of an N-frame is especially prone to peen all of these areas.

For slow shooting, and for moderate amounts of shooting, the unfluted cylinder will certainly be fine. But a fluted cylinder is always my preference. I also find it amusing that an unfluted cylinder is often included on a premium model, and costs more. Yet the unfluted cylinder has less machining, so it is cheaper and faster to produce.

Still, with all of that said, a Performance Center gun is a sweet piece. Enjoy.

I really want this pistol talk to me in or out of it..

You have to ask yourself "Do I really want to burn my eyebrows with muzzle flash?"

I haven’t fed the addiction in years. I have to have this. It’s kind of a troll thread when you think about it like you guys weren’t gonna tell me not to buy the gun. It’s money well spent.

It’s a sweet piece once I saw it. I just had to have it maybe tomorrow I’ll go pick it up. but then it’ll be a three day hold for some reason. I don’t understand. I own a lot of firearms.

The thing I’ll say is you have to be very careful with the revolver. Squibs make a mess out of them. It’s not something I’ve gotta reload for anyway, but I’d be pissed if some factory ammo blew my hand off.

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.

Does it hold 5 or 6 rounds would be my question.

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.

Do I see a lil hillary hole tryna wink at me?

 

[MGnoob]

I’ve got to get out my MP five.. it’d be real sin not to fire it

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.

I can't believe no one has commented on this yet...but a TV in the shower?!? How about a toaster in the bathtub...it would be a lot cheaper!

That’s interesting. I was gonna install a mini fridge.

I can’t die so I don’t think a toaster is gonna help

It’s so nice I have to have it.. but it would be irresponsible. I’m gonna have to get on the Internet and find one that’s slightly cheaper. I don’t care if it’s used.

Boooo

I put five .357 rounds through a friends and had enough of that.

I only shoot 38S out of my 357 unless I'm showing a friend how insane a 357 sounds and feels out of a 357..

It’s a good thing. I can’t hear anything go remember to take my hearing aids out for the next time. I shoot my 357.
