    if compare to S&W in the 357 - 6 in do you think it is a good deal to buy one of these revolver ?

    The price is very interesting.

    Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is the ability to ACT properly in the face of fear.

    You do not need to be over 50 to shoot the .50BMG. Try it

    357 will shoot 38 Special. I think they are a good bang for the buck.

    Do you know the exact bore diameter for the .357 ? And would a 9mm cylinder fit the .357 ?

    Ryan,
    Will you be getting the short cylinder 9mm revolvers in 6" barrels anytime?
    The same one in this vid blued or stainless.

    Ruger Blackhawk Convertible .357 comes with 9mm cylinder. I was thinking of getting it, but saw many bad reviews. Accuracy suffered with the 9mm. You can read these...

    Is SFRC - The Ammosource going to be the one with supporting the warranty if we have a problem ?

    P.S. I received today my first Box of .50 BMG form SFRC.

    If you reload you might consider using some appropriate powder to get the reduced performance you want out of a 38, or reduced cost. Of course these questions on 9 mm and 38 tend to come from people anticipating using the cheaper bulk ammo. The advantage to shooting full length cartridges in the 357 is that they are the correct length for the revolver bullet jump wise, and the cylinder stays cleaner.

    A double action 9mm revolver is certainly interesting.

    Thanks kschneider, I've come across that option before but I'm not interested in a single action.

    My interest in the alfa comes as an alternative to the Manurhin MR73 which retails for around $3000 and is as you can imagine quite expensive. It's renowned in France for its accuracy and quality and unforgettably it's use by the GIGN and other elite police response teams. It also has an interesting bore diameter of .354.

    So I'll ask again since it seems like my question was missed. What is the actual bore diameter for the Alfa revolver?
