Frame designation
« on: September 21, 2011, 05:50:07 PM »
I see Handi's in 357 Mag advertised at what I think are good prices but I am concerned about adding barrels to this one if I get it.  Is the Ultra an SB2 frame or a lighter frame for lower pressure cartridges?
Thanks,
DH
You should have said something; I didn't know I had struck a nerve.

.357's are SB1 frames as are .44's.  If you want an SB2 frame, they come available, then just buy or have factory fit what barrels you're interested in.  BC .45-70 and Colt are SB2's and any std. rifle calibers since 1987 if memory serves came on SB2.  The .357's have been Maxied I believe on SB1 without issue.  Sure others will chime in.
