Hoping .375 is another number for 3/8ths

If I put a 50rd. box through my Taurus .44, my wrist is sore for days. Not to mention the price of the freakin' rounds!!

26.5 is a lot better than 46!!

Mine is a little hard on the hand as well, but nothing like what you're describing. I looked into getting different grips (stupid rubber ones), but I couldn't find any in my price range. Taurus 4" 44BB4

Not sure about that "26.5 is a lot better than 46"??? I would much rather shoot a 46 ounce .44 mag than a 26.5 ounce. That is just too light for such a massive round.

Back to the .357: You would be the first one(I have heard) to to say it is a little hard on the hand. It is closer to a m-80 going off in your hand. Don't get me wrong, it is a bad azz package for ccw but follow up shots would take lots of training to perfect. I'm not knocking the gun, just going off what others have said.

No type of "off the shelf" grip for the j-frame would allow control of that .357. A longer custom grip might but hinder the concealability.

357..... my buddy just got a couple titanium 357's that fit in a shirt poket and are I think only 10 oz.

What? Man, you're buddy can keep them. I think I'd wet myself at about round #4 or #5.

I just meant that my .44 is a heavy mother. The grips I was asking about are pertaining to my gun, not the little .357. The only ones I could find were SUPER expensive--over $100, and made-to-order. I only looked online; maybe I just need to go to the local gunshop. Its just convenient for me to purchase things online b/c I work nights most days, and go to school the days I don't work. I don't get out to shop much. Seriously though, I wouldn't really want a lighter gun; my ex couldn't fire it without holding onto it with both hands for dear life; first time she shot it, she dropped it. She hit the target square on, near dead center, but she still dropped it. Stupid :censored: . I don't think much of her, can you tell??

.... so I did some searching, and I'm pretty sure that .375 is the new 3/8Th's. I hope someone will confirm this, or my 72LGX will be a waste of money.

That is right, but the actual pitch is .367 or so......:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Stihl pre-stretches their chain!!! It's all about precision.

Yup. Not new. Not being a smart ass, but take a calculator and divide 3 by 8.

Or just break it down. Do you know what 1/8 is? It is .125. Then just figure 3X.125=.375

or

1/4=.25 and 1/8=.125, just add those up

or

3/8 is 1/8 less than 1/2, so .5-.125=.375

When I was a machinist I had decimal equivalents of fractions memorized for 8ths, 16ths, and 32nds.

 

[SawTroll]

When you calculate further on already rounded off numbers (3/8 in this case), you are sure to end up with more or less unaccurate results (.375 in this case)........:yoyo: :yoyo:

 

[Lakeside53]

So.. then there is that other 3/8 chain that = 0.365

 

[SawTroll]

Yes, some marketing people have been "smart" enough to call the 3/8" lo-pro .365, just to mess up the picture even more........

Those also are .367..........

I was gonna bring my .440magnum , which is actually .429....... :crazy1:

Have you tried the new .441 magnum? Much smoother. Less vibration. I haven't actually shot anyone with it, but I fired a few rounds in the air and it was really smooth!
