FIND .357 BRASS BUT .38s WERE EVERYWHERE . I FED MY 4-5/8" RUGER FLAT-TOP WITH THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF KEITH HEAVY .38 LOADS. THOSE LOADS NOW ARE HEAVIER THAN MANY .357 LOADS. I ALSO LEARNED EARLY ON TO NOT COCK THE HAMMER UNTIL THE SIXGUN WAS OUT AND POINTED IN THE PROPER DIRECTION. DOT BOUGHT ME A COLT .22 SCOUT THAT HER FRIEND HUSBAND SHOT HIMSELF IN THE LEG WITH (THEY COULD NOT GET THE BULLET OUT OF HIS LEG) SO I CHANGED MY METHOD OF DRAWING AND SHOOTING WHEN I HEARD THIS. THE DW 8" HB .357 WAS A GREAT SHOOTER--STILL HAVE MINE.
