So what's the consensus?

Should I purchase an S&W .357 longnose or stick with my plans to get a model 1911.

Try shooting a 6" barrel 686, you'll be amazed at what the revolver can do to a target.

From my perspective it depends on what use you intend for the gun. Both have their merits and limitations. I will be glad to make a recommendation if you provide more information on your intended use.No doubt others on FR will also.
