I still think a revolver of .357 caliber regardless of barrel length is a massive intimidation factor.

The “Dirty Harry” effect

I like the snub nose 357.

I love my S&W 36.

I'm a bit of a traditionalist. I want the exposed hammer of S&W , I know Kimber offers one as well. Kimber is quite proud of their pieces. The Ruger is a bit too modern for my liking. But I think a proper range session with some rental time could sway those opinions one way or the other. My first experience with a revolver was a S&W model 60 in .38 . That kinda sets the standard for future comparison.

I like the snub nose 357.

I used to carry an old S&W model 19 with the 2 1/2” barrel in .357 for long time then, great gun.

I carry a S&W 640 Pro that I had their Performance Center massage just a bit more...125gr Golden Sabers, it’s very controllable and plenty of power.

I do like the Kimbers, though. I’ll probably pick one up one of these days, I've been impressed with the ones I've shot.

I had a LCR. Not impressed. I don’t think the trigger is nearly as good as advertised...

Good to know. I like personal experience more than paid writers with hand picked demos .

I agree !!
I have never bought a new model firearm until I read reviews from forum members that actually use their firearms instead of paid journalists.
I have never had buyers remorse yet.

I had one of the LCR’s, just couldn’t get used to a polymer revolver....trigger wasn’t to bad, but I’ll take a S&W over it anytime

A friend bought a 640 performance center pro a few weeks ago. It has a very nice trigger. Is that what you have and then had the performance center do more work to ? If so what , may I ask , did you have them do extra to it?
