That scandium revolver is so light-weight, it makes your wallet easier to carry, too.
A 6 shot sp101 would be nice, but even with 5 shots the sp101 would top my list for reliability and managing recoil.
Agree. Yankee is quite the hippocrit disqualifying the 101 for its 5 shot limit yet includes other 5 round guns in the list.
Arguably the best of all would be a slightly larger "J" frame, the venerable Ruger Speed Six (which has 6 rounds by the way). Yes, it is heavy and you will notice carrying it.
Love mine. Wish it were 6shot and hate the gutter sights though
@@blantant Find a Speed Six.
@@redoak3809 Yep. I have it’s cousin - once removed - the DA revolver that catapulted Ruger into the LEO “common market”. The Security Six. Mine is in stainless with 4” barrel. I bought it used about 5 years ago for ~ $360. Someone had polished the internals and given it a trigger job. Can shoot full load 357 all day and think you were shooting 38s.
Holy crap. After all the years of watching the top five on your channel we finally agree on the guns picked and the order. I better go outside and see if I see any pigs flying around the house.
🐖💨🤯
A two inch barrel will not allow the powder of a 357 cartridge to completely burn but it will create more recoil and flash.
Does make me curious about those rounds out there optimized for short barrels. (While I like revolvers, the way the noise and flash goes isn't the best friend of my night vision (and pretty sharp) hearing, so the idea of not having more of it than is doing any good is pretty appealing. (Was just wondering what's out there for this .38 Special snubbie we got here since I last looked at ammo.)
I fell in love with the K6S when I first saw it. Don't know the size of the chiappa, but I'm still wondering why TYM isn't bringing them up much any more
You need to wait till he dresses up as Harley Quinn for those reviews now. Don't think he won't do it either.
I own #1 & #2 and kinda want #3 so I guess that means I agree with your list
1) I agree with your list 2) I carried an older SP101 for years. I love those things enough that I’m probably going to buy another one. Lol
The Kimber K6S would be my first pick from his list, although that Colt King Cobra carry model is tempting.
I have the 3 inch model and like it alot. I liked it less after fireing a 357 mag threw it after putting wood grips on it. They look good but i think im putting the rubber ones back on.
@@kendric98 I have an S&W 627 PC 8-shot .357. It has a 2.6 inch barrel, and is pleasant to shoot with wood grips. Then again, it's an N-frame.
I've been pocket carrying a Smith 640 Pro-series almost everyday for a little over two years. I love this little gun, I don't feel fully dressed without it. I can't disagree with anything on this list though, they're all great revolvers.
Love the bloopers, I'm very hard on myself when it comes to my job just like he is. My supervisor never gets upset, I cus myself daily. LOL, we love ya Yankee, keep given us the real talk vids.
I have had my Ruger Speed-Six 2.5" .357 for decades, but as they don't make them anymore, well. Fantastic gun with glass smooth trigger back when they were built by craftsmen.
Can confirm. I have a police service six and a security six. Both have very good triggers.
they should bring those back
I am the proud owner of a Kimber K6s DASA and I love it ….as a 38Special +P 😂 as a .357 Magnum it hurts my hand and it’s very LOUD. Shooting it in a confined space would hurt and probably nail my eardrums. I already wear hearing aids in both ears.
Nevertheless, I fully agree with how well crafted and beautiful it is …I recently changed to the combat grips now offered for this model and it helps with recoil but not much.
Anyway still a great review and at the range I love my Kimber K6s… it’s not bad as a .357 when I wear shooting gloves 😂. I love the trigger and I shoot it well ….when I don’t flinch.
Yes I’m serious.
I currently carry a 9mm semi-auto but I’ve been tempted to get a snubbie revolver as an alternative. I’m really impressed with the 130gr HST ammo for .38+p.
@@philipscougale2075 why not both? Both have use.
38 plus p is more than enough to drop a criminal.
@@danielaramburo7648 I agree Daniel. The Kimber is the only revolver that I currently own…. Well I do own a NAA Ranger II .22 Magnum but that hardly counts. All my other pistols are semi-autos and my EDC is a Kimber Ultra Carry II 45ACP 3” and I sometimes carry a full-sized Sig Sauer 1911 XO 45ACP but I haven’t found a holster I like well enough yet.
I don't know if it's the grips or what, but the SP101 was a lot easier on my hands than my K6S.
340 M&P for life!
This is the way.
Good stuff!
I do love my k6, but..
I am shocked to not see the rhino, or windicator, on the list!
Neither of those are J framed sized guns. The K6S and the Colt aren't really either, which yankee mentioned in this video, but they are closer than the windicator or the rhino. The rhino and windicator are at least K frame equivalents, if not L frame.
I was all poised to angrily type 'Why no Kimber DASA ?!?! ' LOL😅
Your list is for you Sp 101 Wiley Clapp is my favorite carry revolver of all time
Absolutely LOVE the bloopers!!!!!
I’m not really a revolver guy but i do carry my 640Pro occasionally. Accessing a IWB gun can be difficult when wearing a heavy winter coat. I’ll throw my 640Pro (in a pocket holster) in my front coat pocket, especially if I’m wearing sweatpants or snow pants. It’s not ideal but it works for me. I load mine with Buffalo Bore “short barrel” .357 mag and like the idea of extra penetration when bad guys might be wearing multiple layers of clothing.
I've been a viewer and subscriber for years, and finally realized I like your channel content so much that I had to join!
I love my King Cobra Carry. Mine came with a bobbed hammer, so it’s double action only.
Ruger LCR in .327 Federal Magnum, great carry, light weight, 6 rounds.
I carry a 3 inch sp101. 6 shots of .327 fed. mag. I have carried a ruger lcr .38spl for a few years but the trigger reset was crap and it only held 5 rounds. I carried a colt night cobra in .38spl for a bit but it was pretty fat and didn't carry well as it carried 6 rounds. The trigger and sights were great. I also carried a s&w 442 pro in .38spl. for a few years. I liked it the most but it only carried 5 rounds. All great guns.
Excellent review Marshall 👏 👌 You answered the question I asked you in a previous video.
Thank You for the great picks to choose from.
I think another reason I like the colts over the smiths in the King Cobra vs J frame debate is the colts just have a far better trigger outta the box than the J frames. Plus let’s be real, the colt D frame has been out longer than the J frame and is just as proven as the j frame.
if you want good trigger, light weight, and reasonably priced, the LCRX is one you need to check out at a shop.
If you want the same thing but with an extra round and about an extra 1lbs in weight (and cost), the K6S is a great option.
Love the jab at the Ruger sp101, that thing is so heavy I actually know people that ended with their pants down because they didn't bother using a better belt to sustain it, still a great gun though.
I edc the 360 pd. One of the best snubbies ever made imo
Why isn’t the Ruger SP 101 on this list? Do you think it’s a good gun? How does it compare to these other guns?
The budget side of this list I think the newer Taurus revolvers are quite adequate. I carry a Taurus 617 which is a 7 shot 357 magnum, but the smaller 5 shot Taurus that's in 357 magnum is quite solid as well.
I have a S&W Model 60 Pro Series with 3 inch barrel. Love it.
Love my tarus 605 feels empty when loaded super light stainless steel compared to my sp101,both small and very concealable,great guns kimber is nice but price will blow you away lol I trust my life to the tarus well over 1k rounds
There's a K6 on my hip right now. One of my favorite carry choices.
I’ve recently got the S&W 60-15 PC
Yankee, I have not been feeling the love from my SP101- which I find ultra chunky, difficult to carry in quality holsters, and just too heavy. I keep going back to my S&W J- the all steel 640 being my favorite. Today, I looked at several guns including a S&W 340 and a Colt Cobra 357 3". About the only thing I liked about the 340 was the night sights. Then I asked, What is That? It was a Colt Cobra 357 3". It was instant love. I didn't buy it, but should have and may still. Slick as can be. A perfect trigger. Fit my hand perfectly. Weight similar to a 640 but 6 shots! What's not to love? The SP101 doesnt work for me- but Im pretty sure the Colt Cobra will. Thanks!
Yep K6S, but I carry the “hammerless” version
I own a K6S in 3". Kimber has definitely made a quality firearm. For whatever reason I don't find it as accurate as other .357 revolvers but I may just need to get used to the lighter weight.
the K6S is my favorite 357 snubby.
When the K6XS comes out in august, it'll my favorite 38 snubby.
I know this is your list, BUT.... To others reading this, don't rule out DA only revolvers. Especially in a J Frame size. A revolver that small is meant to be carried. You carry one for that life threatening moment. You're not going to be using single action in that time. I'm not against one having an exposed or spured hammer, but be sure and practice in DA. That's how you'll use it.
Those are all great quality revolvers. For the price I'm surprised you didn't give Charter Arms an honorable mention?
I really wish the K6S had the same rubber/wood hybrid grip that you can get on the SP101.
It takes a lot of the sting out of the 357
The LCRx .357 is pretty awesome! Users w/ little experience won't like firing .357's out of it though. Bought it for a woods carry piece for my son while we're deer hunting, so he'd have a capable round, but still nice and light. Can't screw up under duress and forget to disengage a safety, can't screw up and accidentally drop the mag. And surprisingly the sights are easier than you'd think to use.
NOTE: On these lightweight revolvers though... you don't want to allow any cartridges to make more than one trip around the cylinder though whilst firing. Because the bullets will start to jump the crimp and become pulled out of the brass a bit, and it can cause the bullet to become soo moved forward (pulled back out) within the brass that it can block the cylinder from being able to rotate. So important point to know!
RUGER TAKE NOTE : My only minor quibble at all about the LCRx, is that they should probably make the button for the cylinder release juuuust like 1 or 2 millimeters taller. For my wife, whose been assessed as "pre-arthritic" in terms of hands/fingers, depressing that button was just a leeetle bit harder than it should be for a device meant to safe your life. And even for myself I noted that it's slightly harder to actuate than you'd think it should be. Might loosen up with use though, but still, wouldn't add appreciable weight to make that small button taller, and I believe would nicely up the ergonomics of it.
Dang my Ruger SP 101 is not on the list, I can't call my mother because she passed in 2004. However, it's all good. (:
I agree with your top pick 100%, I have a DASA, it is a great carry gun and a good shooter.
My 2 that I own & carry are the Smith & Wesson model # 649 "Humpback" Bodyguard in all stainless steel with Houge combat finger groove grips on it. It's Snag free but still can be cocked into single action. My other one is the Ruger SP 101 With a 3" barrel also with Houge finger groove combat grips on it. Can't afford the Kimber or the Colt,...too old now, living on a fixed income is a Bitch.
Thanks for including the bloopers there great!
You can knock charter arms all you want but I love them and have had great luck with them . 5 years ago I purchased a charter arms "mag pug " 5 shot .357 snubby .. stainless $360 NEW .. it's a fantastic gun not a Smith or a Colt or even a Ruger but still a fantastic gun that I can shoot well.. it's single action is probably the best I've ever felt on any gun.. the only drawback is the front sight is kind of high.. this can be resolved by filing down the front sight approximately halfway.. until its alignment is correct .. if you don't want to file the front site down just get used to putting the bottom portion of the front sight in the rear notch and you will be right on target.. I can shoot this accurately with 357 up to about 40 ft.. I have shot 200 rounds of full House 357 and 300 rounds of plus p38 and the gun is still nice and tight... It has factory porting six holes on top that help keep the muzzle rise down I paint the front sight with bright orange blaze paint..
I'll just keep my old Rossi 461 snub nose 357 six shot revolver thank you
340MP was the best flavor of Jframe. No silly round restrictions like the 360/340 PD. Same scandium frame as the PD, stainless cylinder instead of titanium adds like an ounce.
This one reminds me to wonder what might be good these days in plain ol .38 Special. We've got one of those serviceable Rossi 'Detective' clones or whatnot, (I'm always mixing up S&W model numbers, ) which I'm not really inclined to stretch it with +P given the make and the short barrel, but if it's going to be around there may as well be more than target ammo for it. :)
I know understand why you do your videos in the early morning. It takes the rest of the day to edit, but it is fun to watch.
Excellent topic
Thanks
Good video. Was expecting to see the S&W 640 Pro on your list.
my SW mod 60 3 inch.is very adequate ..feels good..looks good..shoots better
Eaa 357mag windicator is a great revolver. Love mine.
True.
its on a list of possibles for me. It's so dang heavy, though.
@@traumajock not this revolver it's a little under 3inch barrel it's a snub nose revolver hits hard as hell with my hand loads .
Why did you omit the EAA WEIHRAUCH WINDICATOR?
Big fan of the Ruger LCR. Great little gun. Btw, what is with the trigger on the stainless Smith’s. Always look like crap, dirty or powder burned or something.
Well that's what is great about America you have the right to be wrong I carry 3 inch sp101 the Smith and Wesson are way to snappy I swapped my s&w for the ruger thanks for your opinion yank keep up the good work
The SP101 definitely has softer recoil than a model 60, it is also larger and heavier. You have to decide if you're going to prioritize easier to carry or easier to shoot.
If you want easy to carry get a p365 they are easy to shoot also if you want to carry a magnum the extra weight in essential for follow up shoots
@@freddavenport5056 I'm going to have to disagree on the extra weight being essential. There are some guys that can really shoot small revolvers, even the ultra light scandium S&Ws. It's just a lot easier to shoot something like the SP101 well with the added size and weight.
@@BigSam63 true there are some guys that can walk on there hands to but not very common
Ruger works for me. Had one since 1985, won't be changing. No good reason.
awesome list and I love the bloopers
Men those Kimber revolvers are very hard to find and when you manage to do it. Super expensive 😫
Scandium frame .357 is like swinging an aluminum bat against a concrete post.
For my broke ass I settled on a charter arms 357. The sights are adjustable if you don't mind breaking out a file lol.
Excluding the Ruger SP101... It's unofficially one of the best, in my book.
I bought a sp101 because of the feel, looks and weight. Typically carry a smith j frame. Im mad its not on your list.
No Chiappa Rhino? Surprised. Was starting to wonder if you have Smith&Wesson tattoo somewhere on your nether regions.
Yup. I've seen it.
Love the Colt and Kimber both.
We need a compilation of these bloopers lol
I went to my Mommy for emotional support. Then she mentioned S&W customer support. I feel beter now.
Love my Ruger LCRx .357. Great gun!
UPDATE...bought the Colt King Cobra too. Another fine .357 Magnum EDC!
Model 60, all you would want :D
The Kimber is my favorite too! I
Carry my Kimber most of the time. Put in a sticky holster, can fit in my pants pocket. Grip is a little small for me, but such a beautiful firearm.
I called mom and told her what you said about the SP101.... she told me to ignore the Yankee man... lol. (good vid.. agree with the others on the list)
I thought you said this list was going to only include guns currently in production? I haven't seen a new production anything from Kimber in over a year.
"well that's your opinion man," the dude
The k6 Dasa has the best trigger on a factory gun ive shot
Ruger security six is my favourite gun.
I have a 3" model 60 ... The forcing cone seems thin.😊
You may have my attention with that kimber
Sorry Yankee......
Ruger SP101 Wiley Clapp edition with my own Novak night sights for the win here.
While I truly wish Ruger would offer 6 shots in it rather than 5?
If Im goning to be shooting .357 magnum in a small revolver thats not a K sized frame?
Id rather have 26.0-28 oz's of steel and a 3-inch barrel or true 2 inch barrel.
Now, the Smith and Wesson Model 60 IS a nice revolver?
But I dont think it can hold up quite as well to .357 magnum, over the long haul.
While the Ruger SP101 can.
Ruger SP101 is a 5 shot so it wont be on this list, here is number 5 and 4 they are S&W 5 shots HAHA! I think I get what you are saying, for the weight of the gun you would be better off getting a 6 shot? No honorable mention to the Taurus 605 just based off its price point and reputation for being a reliable pistol?
The Chaippa Rhino 200DS is roughly the same size as the model 60, less weight and one extra round.
Things rarely said by anyone about Ruger revolvers, "its kinda heavy for what it is".
Exercise or extra size, are you sure you don't mean extra fries?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved the bloopers
Had one of these and got rid of it because 357 rounds would slide back and lock the cylinder up
You may not notice the recoil under duress but you sure will while practicing and you may not practice as much. Also recoil affects follow up shots. Hello.
There is no real world evidence of your claim. In shootings where adrenaline is present shooters often state they had no sensation or injuries let alone recoil of a weapon. Your perception of recoil is only noticeable when you have no distractions. You may disagree but show me just one case where a person noted that recoil from the first shot was the cause of sequent misses or hesitation, just one.
i have a cobra, i love it and it finished unlike my smiths
Thank you brother
Kimber is my pick
357 thousand subs, coincidence? I think not!
Another reason is it’s your list!
The prices of these revolvers range from $650 to $1,200 and this apparently didn’t factor into Yankee’s ranking system. Ruger LCRx for the win.
I miss my k6s huge regret getting rid of it but you should consider getting the revolver you that you would make I would definitely buy one I thought it looked good👍
I had a 360PD but traded it in on a Glock 33
i have the 360 (not pd) and i love it, I wonder why s&w stopped making it.
@@CorvZ061 i hope you kept the grips because they are perfect to use when you go hunting. I carry it when i go out with my 357 lever in deer season. I wish i had a set of them just for that.
I have a 360 also but I still rock the orange grips.
I've wanted the k6s since it came out its a beautiful gun. Can you do a top carry 40 cal video?
I watch these videos for entertainment, you are funny while being informative. The SP101 is too big to be on a j frame list. It's a medium sized revolver. So is your #1 pick. The Kimber is too heavy. J frames are 5 shot, feather weight guns. Your carry gun needs to be fun to shoot so you'll train and practice with it. If you have to look to make sure your hand is still there after every shot then you need a bigger gun or a 38 special. 357magnum is a great round for a medium to full size revolver. I have an LCR in 38 special +P. It's enough to ruin a bad guy's day without destroying the joints in my hand if I want to put a few boxes of carry ammo through it at the range.
Im really surprised to not see a chiappa on this list at all.
Question for you what is the best 357 magnum that is fordable for the average person not going over $400
Honestly if you're looking for price to performance you might do better going for a more modern gun for carry. Revolvers are a much smaller market than they once were so the prices are inflated for what they really bring to the table as far as function.
