I wouldn't mind owning one in .357mag
Anyone here own one? pics? How is it compared in size/weight to, say, a glock 26?

i almost got one for a good deal (400) but i couldnt stand the thought of having one in .38 special they truly are very light compared to other similar revolvers
whatever you do DONT settle for a taurus revolver

Have you ever held a scandium alloy framed .357 with a titanium cylinder? The damn thing weighs less than if it was made of plastic. I think it's just expensive to make something that light, and even more expensive to make it not blow up in your face when firing full power .357 magnum rounds.
I will get one for my next pistol, but mine won't be hammerless. I won't give up the benefits of firing it as a single action.

Nope never have. Fired a Ruger Blackhawk in .44mag and was pretty fond of it.
I own a Colt SAA single action clone made by Uberti that's pretty slick. Even with cowboy sights it shoots pretty nice.
