Preparedness Wheelgun?

[titsonritz]

I'd go with one of my Pythons........probably the 4"........the 357 is a great round and the Python is very accurate.

That sir is a thing of beauty, I am officially jealous.

As to the OP...IMO a solid .357 mag is the correct answer, too much .38 ammo out there to consider otherwise.

What, No Smith&Wesson is better then Colt wheelguns argument, And Ruger's are the Glocks of the Revolver world, I'm expecting the rants anytime now!
And the whole .375 vs .44 discussion, where is all the passionate dissagreements on that?

Revolver owners are Gentlemen.

I'd run a 4" stainless GP100 in .357 with a 3" SP101 as backup. Because I already own them.

Welp if Rugers are the Glocks of the revolver world that might explain things.

My Go To Big Booma!
If it needs shot, this is the one that gets the nod, From Bears to Peterbuilts, I got it covered!

But the other school of thought is this guy right here, a different angle .

My final word on that argument...
6" .357 Magnum Recommendation and Rossi Rant

Well, we try to be.

Taurus?

I did finally manage to replace my Dan Wesson stainless .44 I stupidly sold off years ago! Kind of like a 629 but different!

Got any other barrels?

No, this one only came with the One, same as my original! Would have likes a 7 or 8 inch hunter barrel to go with it, but have not even looked to see if I could find one! I didn't even know you could change the barrels on these until years later!
I'm pretty happy with the 5.5 Inch set up, but would like to change the front sight on it!

Taurus?

Like this?

Raging Bull might be pretty slick!

Not without much regret, if a REVOLVER were indicated it would I think be a 4" Smith model 28... since I don't own a stainless .357, a stainless Redhawk .44 mag probably too heavy to edc.... otherwise in reality, a Glock 21 .45...
I often regret selling my Smith 66!
Too many things said about the Python's fragility and difficulty to repair to carry it altho I like it a lot...

 

[dplev4]

Can't go wrong with either of your choices. My bias is .357 cause I own a S&W 28-2. .A 66 no dash was my woods gun. Back to carrying my 28-2 because I prefer a heavier frame.

.44 is bit much to shoot for me and too much for my spouse. .357 is sort of the max for me and definitely her. Ironically I don't have the same issues shooting a Glock 20. But that is not relevant to a wheel gun choice. Love both of those guns.

Not all. Some of us are bubblegums...and that's alright.

Pretty sure I would opt for the .44. Both the .357 and the .44 do kick so why not have the serious knock down....just my opinion. I have adequate ammo for each. The question eliminates the G20 from the equation. Serious quandary. I love my 586 but the .44's hit where I point every time, so ....?

Well some of us have some of each Colt, Smith, Taurus, Rossi, Dan Wesson, Ruger, etc. and many different 357 and 44mag flavors all of which are still better than any Glock.

YUP!
Ain't no plastic in any of my Revolvers, and I fully intend to keep it that way!
