Patton, or anybody else didn't have the S&W .357 till after it was first made in 1935.
SamBodie: Thank you for being aware of the 1935 introduction of .357.
I know that by the time WWII ended, one of Patton's revolvers was a .357, so he would have added that to his sidearm collection = or > 1935.
By the way, since Patton was the "tank" general, his revolvers are in the Fort Knox, KY museum, since Fort Knox is the home of US armor.

Sadly that's what it's going to take to lock the border down. A border town will have to be turned into a slaughter house to get people's attention.dlh wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 1:00 pm https://www.foxnews.com/world/mexico-ca ... xas-border
Hopefully the Cartels won't be trying that north of the border.

Oh my, history would have to repeat itself. Columbus, NM was invaded by Pancho Villa, causing American deaths in 1916.
During this time, General (not yet) Patton killed one or more bad guys with his legendary ivory-gripped revolver(s).
One was an 1873 Peacemaker (.45 LC?) and the other was a more modern Smith and Wesson in .357.
