Re: I finally got myself an 8-shot 357!!
That is a beautiful gun, and eight rounds to boot! I have about the same invested in my Jim Clark Custom .45.

Re: I finally got myself an 8-shot 357!!
I looked this revolver up at my suppliers and they show it with thinner wood (combat) grips than what yours has. I like your grips better.

Re: I finally got myself an 8-shot 357!!
It came with the grips you pictured and a set of Rubber Hogue conversion grips. But I am a revolver addict with about 60 revolvers; so, I have boxes of grips, holsters, speed loaders, etc!!
I prefer wood grips but the round butt grips that were on it looked odd with the 5" barrel, so I put on some Round to Square Altamont Conversion grips. Those are the ones in the photo.

Re: I finally got myself an 8-shot 357!!
Thats what I thought. Either that or I thought they may have shipped some earlier with those grips. I prefer your grips for sure. I will bet thats gonna be a shooter.

Re: I finally got myself an 8-shot 357!!
Drooling over that one! Love the grips too; I haven't got to fire one yet, just fondled. One of the best lookin wheel guns ever produced IMO. Nice buy

Re: I finally got myself an 8-shot 357!!
That is a must have gun. I have shot those and they point nice for me. They fit my hand and just feel good. I like the grips and that is a nice home protection piece IMO. And a nice rabbit gun.

Re: I finally got myself an 8-shot 357!!
Thanks guys! I already have four 5 star speed loaders, a range block, and a S&W PC holster on the way.
Here are the loaders and the holster:

Re: I finally got myself an 8-shot 357!!
Real nice set up. I wouldnt mind one myself....I am not crazy about the retention strap on the holster, but I do like that style of holster....
