I have the chance of buying a Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum Model 68-1. It’s been sitting in its box basically since new. I’m buying from a friend and don’t want to rip her off and I don’t want to pay more than it’s worth. I’ve always owned Ruger’s so S&W is new to me; is this model strong enough to take 50 rds a week practice like my Ruger GP100?

Thanks in advance.
