Wheel gun guys come in.

I have the itch to get my first wheel gun. So I'm looking for suggestions as to what to buy. I have a few I'm looking at and I have my preferences as to brand and caliber. But I'm open to suggestions.

I was shooting a .44 Super Red Hawk last night and a S&W .38 Police. I also shot a Airweight S&W .38 and a .500 S&W.

I loved the Red Hawk and the .38P. The .500 is AWESOME but is there really a reason to buy one, except to make my pecker bigger?

I'm not going to carry it, or hunt with it. I just love the mechanics and the bang of the bigger calibers. So would a .357 fit this bill or should I stay with the big bores?

What have you learned through your purchases and owning experiences through the years?

Also, you can neg rep me if you want but I will only buy a U.S made revolver.

The .357 would be a good choice IMO, and you could still shoot your .38 stuff through it.

The practical side of me is telling me to go with a .357. But when I was rapid firing the .44 Red Hawk the thunder was.....well exciting.

Opposed to the .500 which was a light squeeze followed by a full second of chaos. Maybe I'll have to try a .357 out.

i'm guessing you do not roll your own?
a .357 is perfect to start on.
you have the .38spl, .38spl P+ stuff and just a complete hoard of .357 loads. everything from mild to pretty wild. they can make smoke and fire too.
i went way longer than i should have with out one.
i love old smiths....just say'n. you know your holding a high quality shoot'n iron wit one a dem them.

I loved my old mans 357, I've been trying to get it back from my aunt for close to a year now. You can put almost anything thru them, .38spl, +p's, and a slew of .357 rds. A .357 can bark thunder as well my friend.

So I take it your vote would be for an old Smith .357
