7.5 inch .357
« on: May 17, 2012, 03:52:48 PM »
Does anyone currently make a .357 with a 7.5 inch barrel or longer ?  Dosn't matter single or double action as long as
it has adjustable sights.

Ruger supposedly does but I haven't seen it in stock:

Taurus does also, but not in stock:

I believe Thompson/Center may have a barrel available in 10" or 14" in .357 mag, but I couldn't find one quick.  TC used to make a .357 Maximum also.  My buddy has one of them and it'll deskin your knuckle really fast if you hold it loosely with that contender pointed trigger guard.  I cannot stand contenders in heavy kickers.  8(

There's a ton of single action 357MAG revolvers out there with 7 1/2" or longer barrels, from a bunch of different makers if you consider used as well as new -and quite a few double action models with longer barrels as well that can be found new or used.
 
I've had quite few 357MAG revolvers over the years, including several SA's and 2 or 3 DA's with 7 1/2" to 10 1/2" barrels.   But since you made no mention of your intended use.....

One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

Thanks for the tips tacklebury. 

Ladobe used does   give me a lot more options rather  then new only.  Time to haunt the pawn shops I guess.

For a single action =Uberti makes copies of the Colt SAA and the 1875 Remington with 7 1/2" barrels in 357
