BUDS DID GREAT. FAST SHIPPING, BEST PRICE. THE REVOLVER ITSELF IS VERY GOOD. LIGHT WEIGHT, EASY TO CARRY. NO PROBLEMS. 357 WILL KICK A BIT, 38 LOADS DO JUST FINE FOR TARGETS. S &W CONTINUES TO SET THE HIGH STANDARD FOR WHEEL GUNS.

Great little carry gun, very light and very powerful. The recoil is tremendous. Trigger pull is heavy. Really like this pocket pistol. I use it as personal carry and backup.

Excellent service from Buds, as always. Gun carries extrememly well in my crossbread holster ($100.00). This pistol is a handufl with .357 loads that i carry for personal defense, but with a little practice is acceptable. When practicing with it, i usually shoot .38special loads. I'm a believer in S&W products, as this was my third S&W boot gun. Price was great and the pistol was as I expected form a Smith; smooth trigger, smooth hammer, and good sight visibility for defensive carry. Thanks Buds!

09/06/2012-- The S&W 360 is an ideal piece for concealed carry. I want another one! JCB

Love my new pistol, absolutely can carry in my pockey without a holster. Everyone I have showed it to want one. Even came back to Bud's to see if they still had some more, but they didn't. S&W did a great job on this 357 Magnum, but ruined it when they upped the price to add pretty add ons involving the front sight. Don't need the lighted sights because the short barrel makes it a close in shot pistol.

i called smith and wesson to verify the type of cylinder on this handgun and customer service told me the cylinder is stainless steel. the reason i called them is because the sku#160357 on the smith and wesson web page say the cylinder is stainless steel and buds says it carbon steel. i payed $483 for this handgun and what a deal this little gun is even at $520. the customer service # is 800-331-0852 and they also have the improved coating on the cylinder. dollar for dollar you cant beat this price. i was on the smith and wesson forum one day and a customer ask the same question and with a little research he got the answer from smith and wesson. do your own research and i hope this helps.

Ordered the gun on Thursday, arrived in my local FFL that next Monday! It weighs less than my S&W 442 38 +P empt, and Blazer makes a terrific 357 round with aluminum shells and a 158 grain hollow point so even loaded it weighs less than the 442 loaded. Because it has a hammer, the first shot (if you draw and cock) puts you right on target and it is not the hand punishers many BBS's make it out to be. The newers PD model (with no hammer) is now going for close to $900.00. Believe my, you want that hammer for the SA with a very light trigger pull. The gun is the exact same size as the 442, but with triple the KO facter of a 38 (even +p), this is now my back pocket CC--it fits right into the same Uncle Mike's cheapo pocket pouch (strongly reccomended) as the 442. Snap these up at this price while you can--you won't be unhappy with the gun or Bud's service. Persoanlly, I hope I never have to shoot anybody (legal fees!!!!), but just knowing I have .357 magnum in my back pocket makes me happier than anything else I have carried--and unlike a semi, i know a revolver will work! BUY THIS GUN!!!!

great revolver. great price. buds service was great as always. replaced the grips with pachmayr finger groove decelerator grips for the smith and wession j frame revolver from optics planet for $24.00. installed the grip and shot a 50 rounds of 357 158 grain with no problem. the pachmayr grip is a little bigger but handles recoil great. optics plant has great prices on grips and holsters so take a look. love the smith & wession 360. love the gun five stars.

Traded a Kimber Solo Carry for this piece, very reliable and extremely light and concealable, i feel I have a much more reliable pocket pistol in the revolver compared to the pocket autoloaders, I ve owned two kahr pm9s and the kimber solo and have sold them all, theyre too unreliable even after being broken in. One thing to note, certain speedloaders like the safariland comp 1 will not work with the j-frames without some filing so you may want to go with the quickstrips by Tuff or Bianchi. As usual buds is great and the cheapest by far and gave me a very fair price on my Kimber. Thanks and future 360 owners, enjoy.

Received mine a few weeks ago and am happier than I ever imagined I would be. I loved the grips that came on it but opt'd for the Crimson Trace 405's, as it is my predator medicine when fishing/hiking and the dot helps me pick up my aim much faster. I've put many different .357 mag loads through, although my woods load is 180 grain hard-cast core Federal - that is the single most stout round I've put through it, and although it wallops a bit it's is not terribly difficult to get back on target (3 shots in 3 seconds on a 4x6 card from 15 feet). Overall I'm extremely pleased with my purchase.
