I just picked this up from Hophead:
It's a Taurus 650CIA J-Frame in 357 Magnum. I just got back from the range, and was able to put about 50 rounds of +p and .357 through it before my hands shut off in the cold and wind. It's got a sweet trigger that's perfectly smooth and linear and just goes off with no warning, so there's little reason to flinch. the sights are really good and unlike my 637 which you have to hold about 6 inches low at 15 yards to hit POA, this is dead on at the same distance, and it makes no difference if it's .38 Special or 357 -- the aim point is the same. 357 is a pleasure to shoot, and I'm going to be working up some warm loads for this one -- I think I'll feel better firing them in this than in my Model 66.
Here's the last group of 10 I shot -- it's a 9" plate at 15 yards, 357 Magnum 125 grain Federals -- you can see how my hands were going numb from the cold. I missed the first one because I aimed as if it was my 637 and it was thus not on the plate. I think the groups will tighten up quite a bit once I get some more range time with it. I can't wait to get out again with this and try it at 25 yards:
