New .357 flattop blackhawk

[calvin]

Hello all,
would anyone be able to tell me if the new Blackhawk .357 Flat top
has less "strength" then the traditional Blackhawk in the same caliber?

Thanks,
Don

It has more than enough strength for any sane loading in the .357. That said it is built on the mid size frame so it aint no Super Blackhawk.

The large frame Blackhawk is bigger but in the .357 chambering, I really don't think there would be a strength advantage. You can't get enough slow burning powder in the .357 case to hurt the mid-frame Blackhawk.
