Love some .357 wheelies! I have a GP100 4" and a SP101 2" , I use the shorty for concealed carry and the GP mostly for hiking. I always smile to myself while at the range and start off shooting .38's for 20-30 rounds and switch up to .357's just to get everyone's attention. The concussion will make everyone in the room wake up along with the 2 foot fire balls!! After 5-10 shots go quietly back to .38's like nothing ever happened. With Badger wooden grips on both 5-10 rounds is all you need to get your fix but the power is something else for sure.

I find it surprising how many shooters today have little or no experience with revolvers. When I started learning this game, revolvers were pretty much all we used. As an avid hand loader, I much prefer them for their versatility and ability to accept such a wide variety of loads. As an outdoorsman and hunter, I won't use anything else - autos simply cannot provide the power necessary, at least not in a handy, portable package.
You guys probably know I'm a single action kind of guy, but I do love my Smiths. Every one of them, including my M19-5 (K framed .357), M29-3 (nickle plated pimp gun), and M29-10 (evil key lock) are simply wonderful. And, once you are used to them, the standard target grips are great. If you don't like the checkering, or the shape, I would highly recommend getting in touch with Steve Herrett for a set of his smooth, uncheckered stocks. I like his "Roper" profile. He'll make them to fit you (he will ask for a trace of your hand). I've had a trace on file with him for years. One of my M19's, one of my M29's, and my Python all wear his grips. So, yeah - keep shooting those revolvers, folks. They are accurate, they can be very powerful, and they can be simply beautiful. Way more pride in ownership than some tupperware 9mm auto.

My kids learned on the "Double Nine" here in the pic.
