A: Johnnie, unloaded weight is 19.75 oz's and will weigh approximately 22.31 oz's with 5 rounds of 125 grain 357 Magnum ammunition.

A: Hi Maurice, this has a transfer bar safety. With an unloaded weight of 20 ozs., the Defender 605 is relatively lightweight for a .357 Mag, so you are going to feel the recoil when shooting .357 Stay safe & have a great day!

A: it does not have a manual safety it does have a transfer bar safety so it is safe to carry with 5 rounds of ammo due to its light weight it is a handfull with 357 but in a high stress situation you will never notice the increased recoil over the 38 special

A: Hi Maurice and welcome. This model has a Transfer Bar Safety. The transfer bar will allow the firing pin to strike the primer of a cartridge only when the trigger is pulled. Here is a shooting video for demonstrated recoil with .357 magnum ammo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6LTnXCQvXw

A: Hi Stacy and welcome. Yes. Any .357 Magnum revolver can shoot the shorter, less powerful .38 Special ammunition no issue. Cheers and stay safe!

A: yes it will be fine with 38 special Any 357 can safety shoot 38 special including 38 special +p loads

A: Hi Stacy, this will shoot both .357 magnum and .38 special. Stay safe & have a great day!

A: 100% yes!!! Any revolver chambered for .357 can also shoot .38

A: Hi Stacy and welcome. This will be a tad large for ankle carry if you are under 6 feet. I would highly recommend the +P capable 9mm Diamondback DB9 G4. It is small, lightweight and most importantly, thin. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/141001/diamondback+db0200p001+db9+g4+9mm+3.10+6+1+black+black+stainless+steel+slide+black+polymer+grip
