If you're not looking concealed carry, and are only looking for a gun both can shoot, I would look at the gp100. Full lug, available in a 4" to 8" bbl. If it's for hunting, then I'd go with at least a 6" bbl. If for personal defense, 4" should be fine. But, it is not a concealed carry gun unless you're 400# and wearing a tent.

hey scott, go by that shop in palmetto. they have a decent selection, and good prices. lots of .380's. dont remember seeing too many .357's, then again i was not looking for a revolver. also check out redbarn by winghouse, he has a good selection and fair pricing as well.

if you ever had to use your pistol for self defense, and it went to court, crimminal maybe not, but civil you can almost count on it cuz no matter how much of a scumbag the creep was or how long his criminal record, to someone looking to cash in, he was an angel with a bad childhood experience. and any alteration from factory spec will be used against you in court. I had a 3" sp 101 completely tricked out ( the works ) to match my competition redhawk, now regret selling it and breaking up the pair, but was afraid to use it for daily carry for that reason.

And the reason you should shoot factory ammo also
