Items Like The Smith & Wesson Performance Center M&P R8 357 Magnum Revolver
It didn't like the Freedom Munitions .38 Spl or .357 Mag, but seems to shoot all others fine. Be aware that holsters for this gun are few and far between, so you'll likely have to order a custom one; the only off-the-shelf one I've found is made by SpeedBeez.
