You won't find a better, or stronger, 357 than a 4 5/8 stainless Blackhawk.
Gun owners look at this subject from the wrong direction. You should buy a gun and try to wear it out.
Buy it and hope you can fire enough rounds through it to break it. I bet you can't!
Is it really stronger than the GP100? I know DA / SA is sort of apples and oranges, but I've heard the GP touted as "the toughest."trapperon said:Yes--I believe the new model stainless Blackhawk is the strongest 357 available. Being it is a new model the frame is the same as the 44 mag super Blackhawk. It is in the same strength class as the 357 redhawk--I doubt you could ever blow it up! Great revolver, and being stainless it is a little heavier due to the steel grip frame vs an aluminum grip frame which is on the blued model. A true workhorse revolver.

Yes, and they can be repaired easily if anything does go wrong or wears out.JES14352 said:Thinking about getting a 4 5/8 stainless blackhawk 357 , Question Is the New model Blackhawks built as tuff as the older models ?
