Double action, or another single action?

. As counterintuitive as it might sound, tweaking (bending) the barrel is a very satisfactory solution.

I have also heard enough whispers about barrel bending to know it is legitimate .

I know this is a Ruger forum. But if you are considering a double action, try to find a S&W L frame. It's the size frame that is perfect for the 38/357. I love my 27's but they are really heavier than necessary. My K frame .357's were never really intended for a steady diet of .357's and as such mostly see .38's.

Trust me, I've tried a number of Smith's at the range, and I love their triggers. I would be interested in one if I could find an older one in good condition for a fair price. That could be hard to do.

That's cuz they only go up for sale when one of us old farts dies.

.357 Vaquero all the way

If it's purely for range fun, you can't beat a fixed sight single action, if for nothing else than cool factor.

If you can get away from .357 as a requirement I'd go with a .45 ACP-LC convertible 5.5" Vaquero, I have one and it's a blast to shoot .45 ACP through a fixed sight Single Action......and if you want to go "traditional" with .45 LC you can drop the other cylinder in.
