    There are numerous aftermarket stock makers for S&W revolvers. Once you know what size frame and whether your handgun has a round or square butt, you can go old school like a t-grip, rubber from Pachmayr or Hogue, all the way into exotic woods, hand carved show pieces that are more art than function.

    I would suggest that everybody who has any interest in a revolver should have a 357/38. As far a big bore revolver goes most are heavy and not much fun to carry in the thin mountain air. I solved that problem with a ported Taurus 450 Titanium, 45 Colt, weighing 18.5 oz. But they are difficult to find and not made anymore. I didn’t want to be wearing a boat anchor when standing in a river fly fishing.

    Nice to know they can be tailored to the shooter.

    Wow, 18.5 oz sounds outstanding when walking around the mountain air! And I still have that 38Super, so I was trying to prevent too much overlap...but the more I read, and get input from the folks here, the .357 is starting to sound pretty good (and so many options).

    I understand you want a revo to learn about, you want a trail gun, you want to carry concealed. For my build and needs N frames are to big and heavy. But S&W built a N frame 10MM revolver called the 610. With moon clips you can shoot 10MM and S&W 40. Both small primer friendly.

    I'm talking about the 2" Scandium/TI model....around the same price point.

    Can't even find the 610 on the Smith & Wesson site...even though I see posts for it. Did they discontinue production? It does look like I would definitely have to reload vs the more common .45 and .357 (which really, I intended to reload those, too). I do like that small primer friendly to limit the steps to swap calibers on the Dillon 550B.

    Ah, much lighter and shorter OAL. I'll shop it as I'm reviewing. Some nice S&W models to choose. Ruger Redhawks just seem to be way too heavy - don't think anyone has mentioned the LCRs. So...

    - S&W (several models of .357...Governor in .45 just too big, although *I* would be interested in 410 shotgun shell as a "shot across the bow" if in a nightstand or even met a bigger critter on the trail)
    - Kimber K6
    - Possibly the Charter Arms Pitbull (if I wanted .45)?
