Sounds like a good idea Steve... my current Blackhawk is a .357, don't know if that will suffice, or if I have to move up. I'm not too concerned at this point since it will probably be a couple years till I dive in. I know my local gun club hosts a shoot a couple times a year, so I hope to go watch that.

Hey Alabama!

About to work some more on painting the front room before the wife gets home. I can't wait to be done, so I can start another project! It never ends, does it?

Howdy Grand. It has been a while. How are things?

Rob, the 357 is enough. You may want to shoot 38's though. They are cheaper and meet the speed requirements. Pistols less than 1000fps and rifles less than 1400 fps.

Jack, 357 revolvers are great. You can shoot 38's or 357's. that is what I started with then traded up to 45's. I reload so I can adjust my loads for mild or wild.

i know i had a 44 mag i traded my father in law for his 357. and it came with a arm pit holster which was nice because i could wear a jacket and you couldn't see it. and i worked for a parking company at the time and carried large amounts of money all the time. it was perfect. i wished i still had it.
