Different tools for different jobs=more fun (and

) for us! You may look at the Sidewinder in .30 as well. Smaller frame, lots of power, and the removable mag. It's not "better" than the Rattler by any means, but just a smaller sister product. What I personally like about the Rattler is the fixed mag click during loading...sounds funny but something about it is just fun. I also like that it has a high capacity. The larger size+weight seems to do well for the power as well. On the flip side, the removable mag allows quick pull throughs for cleaning. So that is a plus for the Sidewinder. Also if you plan to walk and stalk, the Sidewinder is preferable over the Rattler. The biggest determination for most consumers between the two that I have seen is usually regarding state laws for predator hunting. A couple states require .35 cal and that is where the Rattler shines. I think also if you want to go further distances on small game or predator hunting, the .357 will get a bit further out.
Just some food for thought. I like them both.
