S&W K Frame 357 advice

[HeavyDuty]

Or 3" Model 66's:

OMG. My first new handgun love was my 3” 64, which I still have all these years later. A 3” 66 might be enough for me to jump ship. I had no idea these were ever made.

Thanks, but I bought a Model 13 off of Gunbroker. Its set to arrive at my FFL tomorrow.

Good. Glad you won it.
Pictures, please when it arrives.

Picked her up today and was able to put a box of .38spl through it. Finish is in excellent condition with exception of some minor holster wear at the muzzle and cylinder edge (which just makes it better looking). Trigger is SCHWEET! Both DA and SA. I am going to put a little orange paint on the front sight serrations for better visibility.

Remember to use a white base coat and not heavy on the orange and it will really stand out well.

So far the Traffic Cone color of orange by Salon Perfect (neon pop line) has been brightest that Ive found.

Thanks! I have some white and Florescent Orange Testors paints I used for my 442 which has held up well. I'll prob use that again.

Im trying really hard to figure out a lifespan of the new k frames with magnums.

What is your current round count? Thanks.

It's all about the short barrel Combat Magnums, baby.

Only thing better are 3" Combat Magnums.

Hold on a sec here. I may well be confusing you with someone else, but didn’t you just get your first K-frame in, like, ever, and talk about it here in a separate thread over the last several years?

I got my first K-frame, L-frame, J-frame, and Ruger all in 2010.

I got my first 2.5" Model 19 in 2017.

Yah... evidently, that shit escalated quickly.

That brings back memories. My “bad guy” gun for force on force at the PD was a 4” Model 13 I used as my personal dedicated Sims gun. I did a ton of “gunfighting” with cops with it. A lot of .38 Sims hit a lot of face shields with that gun. I think it may be why I have such a in embedded appreciation for revolvers and do not feel as handicapped by them as so many others.
