Sorry 'bout not posting in a while. I do intend to check out the legality of me carrying a handgun in the woods, and of course, be safe. As with the .357 revolver, I would love one. My brother has one. My brother tried to talk and talk and talk to my mother about one, Never worked. But he's 27 now I was thinking about a revolver of .357 mag, Maybe, just maybe i can get one. I'm more of a persuasive person than my brother. [8D] As of the talk about france/countries guns are made in, Gave me a good laugh what you guys said. Especially about france. But, third party reviews are key. Those are what matter, regardless of where it's made of. Hence this thread. I'll look more into med. frame revolvers. Thanks for the feedback.
