    Nice gun...until you shoot it! My advice... 38 Specials! It is nive to be able to throw mags in there in a pinch! Plus mags have to much powder for to little of barrel. Made mine very dirty. Have fun!

    You obviously missed my joke (look down a little bit in my previous post).
    I will this work thing gets in the way of posting sometimes ;)

    FYI, if you have never spent any range time with a ultra light or something similar, be ready. This is not a target gun. Don't get discouraged if your not "grouping" well. This handgun was designed for self defense. Its a point and shoot handgun, that will make you feel every shot. My wife has a 642, which is a +P not a .357. You have a great handgun, just don't sell it out after a box or two. It really take time to get used to!

    Thanks for the advice it took me about 300 rounds to adjust to my ex... a PM40... I liked it but I run into problems with my large hands.

    I bought a 360 in December NIB for $600. Have taken it to the range a few times and love it. Everyone complains about the recoil. It's noticible, but not unbearable (even with full house 357 mag 158 gr. rds). I got through a box of the 357 158 gr and half a box of of 38 +P of the same weight before I really began noticing anything. I carry 357 mag 125 gr. Hornady Critical Defense rounds, like the idea of the flex tip. 125grs shoot a little low out of it. Does anyone know why?

    A niffty gadget for that firearm is the Crimson Trace grip. The Crimson Trace (LG-405)for the airweight J-Frames includes a recoil buffer/bridge over the metal frame. I bought the CT for that and the idea of quick target acquisition (which I imagine would be the scenario if I ever have to use it).

    I hope you enjoy it.

    Midwest Gun Exchange in South Bend, Indiana. They had it marked at 650, but I have bought enough firearms there in '09, they cut a bit more off the price.

    I also picked up S&W M&P 45 cal (no thumb safety) for under 500 there. I've moved away from the area, and that place is one of the things I miss.

    Yeah I bought a Kahr PM40 from them awhile back that was a smoking deal... but the last time I was up there I didn't find anything I thought was that special of a price? Which was weird to me because of the deals I'd seen in there previously.
