    Any opinions on the above for target shooting? Had a look at one in Duffy's recently and loved the weight / feel / look. Felt just perfect in my hands, well balanced etc. Would definitely prefer a revolver over an auto any day.

    One question also: as a .357 mag it will also fire .38 specials, does anyone know the legal side of this, ie. buying two different types of ammo for the one gun? Or would you have to choose which one to put on the license and just buy that for good? :confused: Odd. Any help appreciated.

    AFAIK you should describe the calibre as 357 \ 38 Spl in the application to the FO and explain that the revolver takes both calibres of ammo without any barrel change. Then he will issue the cert with both calibres mentioned on it. Then you can use either.

    Otherwise, if you only apply for one calibre, that's all you can possess !! It might caue some confusion when you apply, but better then than later.
