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.

Awesome little gun! It is light, has a decent trigger and it shoots a powerful cartridge (357 Mag.) I have only run 38's and 38 +P's so far (couple boxes), but I am ready to try out some mid range 357 (like BB Tactical, low flash, Speer Gold Dots for short barrels, or Remington Golden Sabers.) This is a light gun 13 oz so I figured I'd start light,but 38+P is no problem at all (the recoil is nothing to me.) I'm thinking mid range 357 reduced recoil/flash will likely be the ticket with decent ballistics even from such a small barrel.

Excellent revolver from S&W! Fired .357's from Horandy (125gr CD) and (140gr Cust.) and it was very accurate from 10 yards. Also fired AEF .38 specials and Winchester .38 + P's. Overall very satisfied with this purchase.......great for it's intended use: up close personnal defense.

this is the first gun I purchased from bud's. Ordered on saturday night and received on thursday. Fit and finish is great and shoots excellent. I added a pachmayr 03255, and the gun fits my hand perfectly now. shooting 357 rounds are very manageable with the addition of the grip. Very light weight and accurate. thanks bud's

Amazing price on a great gun. Hold on tight with full blown 357 as it is a little rough but very manageable. Grab these while you can.

Just got mine in and its great. Buds was awesome got payment Monday gun was here Thursday. Smith revolvers are top of the line, highly recommend

took more than a week to ship but it was early December so i get that. i paid 557(plus the cash discount loss) so i highly recommend that you jump on this price if you're interested in this model. reasonably accurate for the short barrel, high quality with a tight cylinder, and just light enough for my pocket. the kick is brutal with 357s; i found it less painful when i loosened up my grip just a bit; 38s light enough recoil to shoot dozens with pleasure.

This was my first order from Bud's. I placed my order on Mon The gun shoots great, single action is awesome. The gun did come with a "hole" on the BOTTOM of the butt (next to the serial number). Noone knows what this hole is for. I even called smith and wesson and they don't know. I suspect it is for a lanyard. The hole looks like it came from the factory that way. As far as the trasaction went, No problem. If buds finds out what the hole is for please let me know. Thanks

I have a S&W model 60 before this and that was a little heavy in my pocket for conceal carry so i decided on something lighter. This is a considerably lighter pistol. Tested it out and it was great. Shot just like my model 60. If you have a "healthly" hand, then the recoil wouldn't matter much on this lighter pistol. Great pistol, and the lighter weight is a must for CHL carry. Only thing is i would rather this be in old fashion stainless, but i guess you can't have everything all at once. Great gun compared to others and recommend it to any potential buyer for a light, carry, concealable revolver.

A great gun,light and accurate. It's good to know that the gun can handle 357 mag rounds but your hand and trigger finger will feel the effects. Although i could and did shoot 38 rounds all day long. I could not be happier.

This Model 360 is a very solid, well built revolver. I was impressed by the professionalism of Bud's staff and received the gun within a few days of completing the order. The gun is small and light for a 357 mag but feels like solid rock. It is also accurate for less than 2 in barrel. The craftsmanship and quality of this gun is what you expect from S&W brand.

Great revolver. I was told that it might be tough on the hands to shoot due to the light frame but I'm very happy to report that it shoots like a dream. To put it in perspective, my Glock 30 has much more kick, and is less accurate. Extremely accurate, lightweight, and easy to conceal. Single action is great, exactly what you would expect from a S&W. It's a fantastic gun at a great price. I couldn't be happier.

This Model 360 is a very solid, well built revolver. While not heavy, it has a clear sense of being more than able to handle 357 loads. The single action trigger is light and crisp, and the double action is fine. It hit steel plates at will at 25 yds.
