    Assuming I don't wind up wandering a dystopian wasteland dodging cannibals and fighting over the last roll of toilet paper, I see a 3" .357 in my future in the next couple of years, ranked after 1) a 640 Pro or LCR and 2) a Contender.

    When I weigh the relative merits of the 2.75" 66-8 and the Ruger 1753, my head sort of explodes.

    Will be curious to see how the Ruger works out.
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    I waffled between the two, as they had both the stainless and the blued when I bought mine locally.

    Well, definitely won't be an issue on current or semi-current production. I've loaded quite a few of both with just resetting the dies.
    Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

    Me, too. As I’ve mentioned before, I’d lean towards the 66 because of already having holsters and speedloaders.
    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    I have a 3" Model 66, and really do like it a lot. I used it at the Rangemaster Master Instructor class, and it did not disappoint. It's stupid accurate with 135-grain .38 Special +P Gold Dots.

    The other pistol is a Model 60-4 no lock with adjustable sights and full underlug. It is fun to shoot. A delightful little cheater gun

    Also...crimping dies are necessary for me regardless of handloading.

    I once had some factory practice .357 ammo...I think it was Fiocchi or some such...that was not adequately crimped and I had to deal with binding of the cylinder and light strikes because they didn't set in the cylinder chambers.

    That 60 is cool. Old school and moderately rare grips, too. I had a set that I gave to a buddy here (I prefer more concealable slabs, myself)..

    Correct, they ditched the "WC" name but they make a run every year as a Talo distributor exclusive. I have to caveat that with "I have no idea how COVID will affect that"

    Your L frame stuff should work as well.
