I've been using the short-barrel version of these for a few months now and I also love 'em. IIRC, Hanna called em 357 'cos it sounded cool amongst all the other numeric designations we use - 510, 808, 901, etc. but it does have a bullet-like quality to em..
Be warned - there is a learning curve to these things. They will spit in your mouth. I've even had one spit in my eyeonce. But, like the learning-curve with the REO, it's so very worth it. While it's breaking in, and you're getting used to it, it'll be like being shot in the brain with nicotine. I spent the first 50-odd hours hiccuping from nic-OD symptoms.![]()
Don't let all that scare ya though - if you like bullets, you'll like these, I'm sure. If not, you can send 'em to me... just sayin'..![]()
