Talk:Criminal Minds - Season 3

Revolver ID

I've consulted Jcordell directly but I'll post these up here as well. From S3E04 -

Any thoughts? StanTheMan (talk) 22:06, 17 September 2014 (EDT)

Looks like an Astra 357 with a 3" barrel to me. --commando552 (talk) 04:55, 18 September 2014 (EDT)

Astra 357, 3 inch barrel - .357 Magnum

Totally forgot about the Astras. I agree, and Jcordell does as well, so there it is. Thanks. StanTheMan (talk) 13:50, 18 September 2014 (EDT)

Whenever you see something with that rounded corner at the front of the frame, it is a good bet that you are dealing with an Astra as the vast majority of revolvers have a more squared off corner (there are 1 or 2 Astra models like the Model 44 that have a square corner as well). Specifically, I think that this is an early model, as it has the flatter cylinder release with serrations over the full width as opposed to the raised type that is only serrated on the rear sloped face. --commando552 (talk) 14:50, 18 September 2014 (EDT)
