There's just something about it, especially the 3" barrel with a Wolff spring kit and a hogue grip. It's just way more performance than its price.
I wish smith would make a 365. take the m 65 3" add a scandium frame, Titanium barrel and cylinder, dovetail front and rear sights, or just fixed sights. call it good.

I would love to see more dovetail sights on medium frame 357 snubbies!!
I would still carry mt 2.5 686 if the sights were more of a "combat" configuration, those adjustable sights aren't really needed on a snubbie.

Sure, I shoot an S&W model 13-3. I don't shoot .357 shells often since .38spl is more economical for practice.
My 3 inch SP101 is my EDC gun. I can put holes right where I want to with it and with a good Bullhide belt, carries nicely. I cast and handload so my son and I can shoot it a lot along with my S&W L frame and Rossi lever action carbine. I did the spring kit, smoothed up the action and use Pachmyer grips (fit my hand better).
We will go through 500 rounds in a weekend easy with those three.
I have a Dillon press and probably 4 or 5 thousand pieces of 38 spl brass that is rotated through along with a couple K of 357 so we always have a couple full ammo cans of plinking or fireball fodder.
My wife's go-to gun is her SP 101 2.25" DAO revolver. While it's not enjoyable to shot .357 in it, she finds the recoil reassuring knowing the guy on the other end is going to get it much worse than her.I have a Ruger .357 mag my wife loves it she likes the recoil in her hand.
My wife's nightstand gun is one of my old Monson DW M15-2 revolvers loaded with Federal Nyclad +P 158 gr. SWCHPs.
