If you do not see any value in a light weight .357 magnum pocket revolver, ignore them. No need to bash them, or folks that buy one. Personally I view the light weight pocket revolver to be a benefit when at 'Grab the belt buckle' distances are involved. I see no need for the little revolver to be accurate for bullseye shooting. I also think 980 fps with a 158 grain bullet is preferable to a 135 grain bullet at 850 fps.

It comes down to different strokes for different folks. If the light weight .357 magnum revolver does not float your boat, then don't buy one. I do find it a handfull to shoot and not as pleasant as a N Frame 627.
