4K: The Real Top Five .357 Magnum Revolvers ★ G.O.A.T. Edition ★

Here's the long overdue sequel to my Top 10 Hipster 9mms video featuring the five greatest 357 DA revolvers of all time. Comments from the last video taught me that I need a thorough and preemptive introduction, so the actual list starts at 1:20. Here are my picks:

5. Colt Shooting Master
4. S&W Registered Magnum
3. Colt Python
2. Korth Combat
1. Manurhin MR73

These selections are based on the following criteria alone: accuracy, fit and finish, build quality and materials, historical significance, and performance at the range. Note that price, availability, and practicality for concealed carry or tactical classes are NOT considered, nor are modified and customized revolvers. Additionally, revolvers are such a mature technology, and these are the best-made among them, that I ignored the topic of extreme reliability because it's just a given.

If your favorite revolver is not on this list, it's because these are the only revolvers I have ever owned, shot or handled. I hope to someday have access to an elusive Ruger or Taurus or 586 to try out.

KEY POINT TO UNDERSTAND: These picks are my opinions. Likewise, whatever you think should be on a G.O.A.T. revolvers list is YOUR opinion. Whatever is on Jerry Miculek's list is HIS opinion. And so on. Please exercise the modicum of self-awareness needed to understand that just because an opinion is yours, doesn't make it an objective fact of reality.

You might notice I tried reading a script for the first time with this video, so apologies if I'm speaking a bit fast. I'm new to that technique and hope to refine it with upcoming videos.

I'm trying to get motivated to get back in it and work through my overwhelming backlog of unique, exotic and rare handguns to review, so stay tuned!
