New to me spoon pics.
A couple weeks back I posted regarding trying to acquire my Grandfather's .357 from a sibling. Turns out that my brother had it, and since he already has a .44 revolver in his collection(amongst many others), I was able to swap a .380 semi automatic for the .357
I am very happy, as is my brother. Smith & Wesson 6" barrel. Classic looks and a very fine shooter. Keeping this one in the family.   And with the .380 Sig which I kept.

vash--shoots just fine .357 or .38 Was used alot on the parents' farm for "varmint control"
tabs--I traded him a Daewoo DH380. NIB never fired. He wanted something that his wife could CC. We both knew the S&W has a higher value, and I even offered him the Sig instead, however, he didn't need the .357 and being brothers, we made the deal and are both happy with the outcome.

Shot my first PPC matches with a model 19. Did my first trigger job on it as well.

My father was a cop before I was born, quit right after I was born. He had a 6" S&W revolver, nickle finish that looked very similar. Unfortunately, it was stolen in the 80s when or house was robbed. I really wish we still had it. Congrats on the heirloom.

The K frame smith wasn't really robust enough for the 357 round. But being a family heirloom there is no substitute.
