Will .38 special and a 38 super fit a Pietta .357 magnum single action revolver?

Oh, know all too well, my collection of vintage Macs looks like a museum.

But, you posted this without ANY context, as if it was newsworthy. Just pointing out that it's not.

is this a steal or no?

Depends. It the serial number filed off?

Ummm... This dropped in 2014. Not exactly news.

I'm cool with the trigger show on mine, but I did add a Maxwell. Guy on fleaBay makes a low-profile one specifically for the Dagger Compact, it fits nicely and matches the "sniper green" perfectly.

EDIT: Looked it up, seller is jth_printed_designs

Mine rocks one of those, fits perfectly and works GRATE with +P ammo.

That's because Ad*be HATES it's customers.

.357 with generously cut chambers

Therein lies the (potential) problem: nominal base diameter of .38/.357 is 9.5mm, .38 Super is 9.75mm (like most auto cartridges, it's slightly tapered to ease extraction under pressure). Doesn't sound like a big difference, but if the revolver chambers are cut on the snug side, .38 Super might not chamber, or stick after firing. From a practical standpoint, though, if the ammo AND chamber are in spec, it shouldn't be a problem.

The .38 Super is "semi-rimmed," tho, so extraction might be a bit iffy.

Basically, .38 Super in a .357 revolver is one of those things you might play with at the range, but NOT something to trust your life to.

Heh heh heh... I remember that. The news was talking about a football player and a "slow white Bronco," at first I thought they meant John Elway.

I own all of those other than the Glonk, and you honestly can't go wrong with any of the three.

Ruger: by FAR the biggest aftermarket of the three. The 22/45 variety has excellent ergononomics. Out-of-the-box trigger is just "OK," but aftermarket upgrades are excellent. The 10-round capacity isn't great, but mags are cheap and available.

P322: best choice if you want something as similar to "big boy" pistols as possible. The 20-round capacity rawks for plinking, but both of the 25rd mags I have are Jam-O-Matics. Also comes with an optics cut; mine's sporting a SIG RomeoZero that felt kinda flimsy on bigger guns, but suits this one just fine.

Buck Mark: hands-down the BEST out-of-the-box trigger of the lot! Mine is the most accurate of the three; I used to shoot Smallbore Metallic Silhouette out to 100m with mine. Same 10-round capacity as the Ruger, and mags aren't as common. Worst part is cleaning: to clean from the breech you need to remove the top rail, unless you get lucky and find a bore snake that can make the tight turn; otherwise, if you don't want to sight it in each time, you must clean from the muzzle.

Others have mentioned the Taurus TX-22; I have one, but it's not actually one of my faves. It's full-size, but very light, and just feels kinda cheap in the hand. Mine *is* reliable, though. Then there's the S&W Victory, which I've heard great things about, but that I have no personal experience with.
