Different SB1 357?
« on: January 31, 2009, 06:51:47 PM »
Went to a gun show today.  Spotted a handi black synthetic.  Seemed to have a bull barrel, picked it up and it's a 357mag ???  Wish I would have had a pocket caliper, it sure looked like a larger diameter barrel than mine!  It even felt barrel heavy and mine does not.

Anyone heard of this?

How old is yours?  The new ones I have seen seem to be a bull barrel as well.  I don't have much experience with them, though.

My .357 was bought as an accessory barrel a couple years ago. It's a bull barrel and definitely barrel heavy.

Mine is brand new, HY on the receiver.  Mine seems to have a lighter contour barrel than the one at the show.  Mine's not barrel heavy at all.
