I carry a Taurus 617, 7 shots of .357 mag, usually loaded with 100gr PowRBall ... I carry it crossdraw in a paddle holster made for it by Rafter S Gunleather. It weighs about 28oz empty; I'd never try to shoot full power .357s through anything lighter; this one beats my hand up pretty bad after 30-40 rounds; got a blister one day in the web of my hand after two rounds (wasn't paying attention to my grip). Those featherweight .357s may look good on paper, but they hurt!
