LOL, Yeah that would work, Then again I suppose you could get the

FWIW I very rarely shoot .357's its hard on my K-frame revolvers. When I
shoot wheelgun matches I use 151 gr RN Super .38's I load into .38
special cases. *UD *

Mine is an S&W Mod 28-2. I don't often fire .357 rounds through it. Usually
it's just .38 wadcutters. I've got hundreds of those damn things from when
I had two brothers who were cops.

This isn't mine, but it's the same pistol.

I am not a firearm guy, but it doesn't look like a very efficient
piece of equipment. *Not trying to be an ass, just sayin'...

Well, how do you define 'efficient'? It does what I've wanted it to do, and
it was a gift from a cop.

It's not as efficient at some things as at others. All depends...

I dunno, it looks like it has a pretty short barrel so unless someone
is a pretty good shot, my understanding is that a weapon like this is
not good for anything beyond a few feet. Hard to handle too I would
imagine, must have a hell of a muzzle lift, but again, I don't know
from firearms... And unlike my new troll CRM, I was not trying to pick
a fight, but you already knew that... I am just a tool guy and as a
killing machine which I assume this is, I just thought other weapons
would be better.

Well, it's definitely not a long range weapon. It was used by many police
departments. Here is a little write-up about this gun.
http://tinyurl.com/yzussr It takes only a minute or two to read. And the
bottom line is worthwhile:

"That's a damned serious gun," he said. He was right. It's a unique
revolver in a long line of resplendent Smith & Wessons, a gun stripped to
it's elemental form, designed for nothing more than deadly social callings,
and keeping officers of the law alive. It doesn't get much more serious
than that."

It does what it's supposed to do.

And, it was a gift. I may have bought something different thirty years ago.
But you have to remember...according to Harry, I've got hordes of MS13
gangsters all looking to break into my house. All I need is something
accurate enough to shoot down the stairs!
