Ruger 357 Maximum
No 10's I'm afraid, though I am not philosophically opposed to them, except for maybe for the Colt Delta Elite. Little to much rock and roll for a 100 year old design.
On duty, and off duty for that matter, I carried a 45 ACP Revolver.
Occasionally, some newbe with a Glock and a high opinion of his own skills would sneer just a little and then I would have to take him to the range and embarrass the hell out of him.
You simply cannot reload a Glock as fast as wheel gun with full moon clips.
Anyway, after we hit some tough times a couple years ago the 45 ACP inventory thinned out dramatically.
Presently there is a full sized Kimber (first year of production), a Smith 625-6 and a pristine Brazilian contract S&W 1937. And there is my "Poor-mans Thompson" a Marlin Camp Carbine. It takes 1911 magazines and is as accurate at 100 yards as my Kimber is at 7 yards.
In the same bore size I have a Redhawk in 45 Colt and an Old Army with a drop-in 45 Colt cylinder.
Rounding out the big bore pistol line up are a couple of 44 Specials and three or four of 44 Magle-ems.
I used to have a Freedom Arms in 50 AE, but it went away in some long forgotten trade.
Revolvers and Lever guns. Gotta love 'em.
Wanna talk big bore rifles?

Ahhh I see. I misread the title of the thread. It says .357 "Maximum", not .357 "Magnum". A quick web search revealed what you all were really talking about.

Oh well, so my little run of the mill pistol is depreciating like everything else I own afterall.... B)

Did you take them rookies out back and shoot smily faces on a target like Mel Gibson in Lrthal weapon ? Ok Ok Ok I confess to trying.  . Although the face of my target looked a little disgruntled. Do you still have the Colt Gold Cup ? I have never seen one of the Marlin Camp Carbines buy they sound pretty darn slick.

Mark, you are the first person in about 15 years that I have heard mention a Colt Delta Elite. I have 2 Colt Delta Elite First Editions still new in the display box unfired that I bought at the Rod and Gun Club when I was stationed in Germany 15 or so years ago. Nice looking guns but did not do much as far as collector's value. For that matter, not many guns are good for collector's value.

Doc, I was the one that mentioned H+K. I have a full sized H+K USP Tactical version with all the accessories. It is like the Navy SOCOM except the barrel is threaded differently. It is .45 ACP, of course.

H&K is top notch. I bounce back and forth day to day as to weather I want one of theese next or if I am going to pony up the spare change for a Wilson Combat. I really like the green finish models.

A friend of mine are both fans of the 10. He shoots the Colt, I shoot the Glock. He likes his, I like mine. He is a bit hesitant to use my "full power" loads. The Glock has so much weight in the slide that it will eat just about anything.

Ever seen the H&K VP70Z? 19 shotter composite pistol? Looks neat but is a piece of junk. It has not hammer and is double action only which hinders a tight shot group.

No, you would have had to fire it. The firing pin spring is more like the coil springs in the suspension of my Dodge pickup.

Not a good idea on a DAO pistol. H&K discontinued this pistol largely for this reason as well as that it did not sell for crap.
