That is the reason you see a refrence by a few guys on this site to the 66 Smith. The Combat Magnum is probably the best 357 that Smith ever made, for cary, weight and power. Made in stainless it is the now discontinued Model 66. I went looking for my 66 and was lucky enough to find one, a three inch, in excellent condition for $400. I bought a new barrel and put a four inch on it. In my way of thinking the 4 inch 66 is just a fine gun to wear in a holser for hunting, ranch or farm use. My holster is in an Andrews cross draw rig which I prefer when sitting or carrying a rifle in my strong hand.
Best, Ed PS I think the 66 will just keep going up as it is usefull and has never been out done by the L frame guns, especially when weight is a consideration.
