Because I'm experimental I like my Dan Wesson .357 mag model 14 with fixed sights. I can take it apart and work on its interior because I bought spare parts on ebay. I leveled the front face of the cylinder with sand paper for an even barrel gap all around on all chambers and sanded the deep curve of the frame to allow the swinging arm that holds the cylinder to settle in deeper for better timing. The 8" barrel is for home defense, the 4" barrel for occasional concealed carry. The grip is thin, slim while large, making it ride close to my body, concealed under a shirt. The diameter of the cylinder is very small for being a six shooter, good for concealment. The gun frame is stronger built than a S&W .357. With CorBon .38 +p it's on bull's eye but with magnums it's 1.5 inches high, 1.5 inches to the left at 15 yards.
