this is a no brainer. .327 is a bastid spendy round. recoil?????
magna port the damn thing. use .38 specials or .38 special +P's. or go home.
i pumped my kid up saturday at the range while he was getting used to my model 60 1 7/8 barrel stainless .357 by starting him with .38 specials, then +P's and then.............HOT .357's. shooting the .357's didnt even faze him even when i mixed up a cylinder of multi different flavors. ie. yer classic "ya better HANG ON TIGHT" and it never bothered him. we put hogue combat grips on.
now a distinct advantage when ya shoot alot and yer a cheap ass like us(ya will figure that out when ya have (2) gunsafes full) is with a .357 you can shoot .38's and thats fairly cheap. and cabelas sells .38 reloads CHEAP! now the other advantage is with a .357 you can buy a LEVER ACTION RIFLE TO COMPLIMENT YER KAWBOY ENSEMBLE. and with the .357 thru iron sites we were beaning 200yd targets all damn day. what a HOOT!
now there is a real downside if yer uber cheap with .357's/.38's and shoot LEAD! .357's are HOT rounds in and of itself. shooting lead will fill yer barrel with lead and you will play hell cleaning it. always finish off a session with some jacketed to somewhat clean the lead out. when ya get home you will see what i mean when yer buried in SWABS UP TO YER NECK and a gallon of hoppes #9(numba 9-numba 9,numba 9) getting that crap lead out. ask me how i know.
we were totally STUNNED by the accuracy of the marlin 1894CSS stainless .357 lever action. unreal out of the box accuracy. that doesnt happen very often getting a real shooter out of the box.
completed 200 rds thru walther ppk/s test
200 rds thru model 60 .357 test completed
200 rds thru 1894CSS test completed before going to the doctor for the one finger lever action job.
and about 50 thru the hk usp compact tactical .45. need to get another 150 thru it before we really play with that.
and yes...........the 1st thang we did after our range session was to break all(4) spoons down and CLEAN THEM cuz thats how we roll(GOGARIZM).
the co yotes(trickster) the badgers/wolverines/foxezz/trouts will be AFEARED of us on the san carlos rez here in a few weeks.
