Can't speak for anyone else, but I like to shoot magnums in my magnums and specials in my specials. I also understand people who like to shoot both from the magnum. Just not sure I can understand, from a strictly utilitarian standpoint, why someone would buy a magnum snub if they didn't think they were suitable for use with magnum ammunition.I have a number of .357 snubbies; sp 101, gp 100, J frames, 65 and 66. Great to hold, great to shoot. But, .357 in them instead of +Ps? Why? Noise, recoil with loss of accuracy for little or no benefit over the .38 special of +P.

Must be something wrong with my .38 Special revolvers. None of them recoil excessively or cause any difficulty ejecting spent brass. Just lucky I guess.
In any event, shoot what you like to shoot.
I have not found one under $600 for many months now. If you find one under $500 in shooting condition, BUY IT! If you find two of them, PM ME!
TennJed,I have lots if 357 brass on hand. That is one if the main reasons I want a 357. I can load up or down and keep the recoil down if I want to.
I see no reason to get a 38 special when I can customize my 357 how ever I like and have brass already on hand
