Hello, I'm from Germany and new to this forum.

Being restricted by law not to own more than two handguns (there are some exceptions but theses are not suitable for my) I have a S&W M 28 and now want to buy a Colt SAA.

I've two to choose between.

One is a 2nd Gen. blued/color case hardened 7.5" 357 # 641xxSA.

The other one a 3rd. Gen. blued/color case hardened 5.5" 357 #SA213xx

Now - which one would be my choice?

Are the 2nd Gen. better in average then the 3rd. Gen. Colt SAA?

When were the guns made exactly?

Are there some advantages or disadvantages with the Colt SAA in 357 Magnum?

Or should I better wait for an occasion to buy a 45 Colt?
