1) If the gun is nickel, do not store it in a holster.
If the gun is oiled with Breakfree CVP,  and inspected
once a month, don't worry.  If the holster is elk lined
or synthetic, don't worry.  The humidity IS a CRITICAL
variable.  If you live by the coast (as I did
in San Diego) INSPECT and oil once a week.  The humidity
can even wreck stainless steel.

2) The powder to use for the .357 is Unqiue.  6 grains
and a 158 or lighter bullet work great.  Be sure that
your S&W does not have excessive for-aft cylinder play.
Look for bulging primers.  I hope S&W quality-control
has improved since I last bought one.  

3) If your group is low and to the right, adjust the sights,
don't trust the factory.  Find one load and stick to it.
