At the Medina Co. show in May I bought the 44 and I no more than turned the corner
and found this 40. With empty pocket's I had to leave half handed. Seriously did not
think I would see It again two months later, but there it was just as sweet as I remember !

Thanks Pinetor ! But I would like to think more of it as a begining 
I have so
many more on my wish list 
. After haggling with price I also got seller to throw in a
B-Square rib mount and a set of small frame grips.

Seller said he was the second owner of this gun so I am guessing the barrel wrapper
date could be linked to the serial number, can that be done Steve ? Here's a couple
shots cleaned up.

That number is very close to one Shoot has in the Registry (1212) with the same barrel wrapper date. I'll get that in for the next update, thanks.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Blacktop,
That is one fine SM! Some vintage Remington ammo to go along. The new wheelgun shines up real nice and seems to not show any Barney at all. You should find this to be one of the most enjoyable shooting caliber / gun combos you'll ever fire. Thanks for sharing

Man, that is one good looking SuperMag!
That cool looking stainless barrel showing though the blued shroud slots is one of the sexiest things DW has ever done with a revolver...and you just may agree at this point.
BTW, those are some good lookin' shots with the leather jacket.

Blacktop:
Since the 357SM's came with a spare barrel, that barrel wrapper may, indeed, be an accurate representation of the production date. However, this is not always true. I bought my 744 in 1985. The barrel was not ported, so in 1986 I added a ported barrel. The wrapper on the new barrel was dated 1979. Maybe your gun is newer than you may think.

I have never ordered or fired any ammo from Reeds but only because I load my own. My primary round is 180 gr XTP's backed up by AA-1680 or IMR 4227.

I've used a bunch of Reed's 180gr XTP's & like 'em just fine.
I wanted to try some non-hollow points for better penetration on some steel tanks, so a couple weeks ago I reloaded my first batch, using 180gr Speer TMJ bullets with IMR4227. They look pretty good so far...gonna go test them out this weekend hopefully, to see if I did them right.

That is a very fine Model 40. Sure would like to have one in my collection to go with the 740 and the nickel 40.

Is that so you can build a Yin-Yang Pistol Pac type of set?
I tried that once, it worked great.
