I’m glad it wasn’t .357.
I picked it up at the Richmond Raceway gun show for a good price from a dealer a couple of years ago that undervalued it considerably because, I suspect, it wasn’t chambered for Magnums.
It is, in fact, a NY-1.
I am perfectly content with the Remington 158 grain LHP +P I load all my J/K frame guns with except for the five-shooter pictured. It gets Ranger Bonded 130 grain +P.
My 3” K trainer 65-6 and spare 3” 65-3 get through scrubbings of the chambers after practice with .38s. Don’t have to worry as much with the .38 chambered guns.
I do have a small stash of defense .357 rounds but my recovery time and accuracy aren’t as good as with .38s.
