My new carry piece... M605 .357 Magnum

Just picked it up tonight finally.
Took it out and shot 10 .357 Magnum Hornady Customs with 158 gr. XTP's. Pretty snappy and you definitely need a decent grip, but not as bad as I was prepared for. I think it'll be just as nice as my wifes Charter Arms Pink Lady as a carry weapon. At 17 oz. it isn't too heavy, but it is heavy enough to not be really jerky in my hands. I got lucky and ran across the grips on another forum for $20 bucks shipped, so I like them better than the rubber boot grips it came with to begin with.

Looks good with those wood grips on it - much better than the rubber ones.
Can't tell for sure from the pic, but it looks like it is NON-ported, is that correct? Wish they'd make more of their models without the ports.

Correct no ports. I really like the walnut better too, course I always tend to lean to a nice wood and blued steel gun. I don't even own any s/s guns. lol

Nice!
I have a model 85 all titanium 38spc, but would also like a Taurus .357 snub

Gotta love that 605! Of course mine is that flashy stainless.. but I agree the walnut on blue is a good looking gun.

Thanks, it's performing well and really no issues with anything I've tested it with. Definitely money well spent.

Tacklebury, nice gun! Did you pick that up at Jay's? I just put an Ultralite .22 on layaway there. 44 Man

Sure did.
May be back up there this Saturday. My buddy's getting back into reloading and we always like coming up to drool on stuff.
