I'm surprised it hasn't sold. I have one and they're great little pocket guns. And at this price, shoulda been long gone by now.

I had to stop and think about this. With handguns I'm mostly a revolver and 1911 kinda guy. I realize that almost none of my handguns are striker fired. Even the "hammerless" models are actually just hidden hammers. Ok, wait a minute, I got a couple of pocket .25s that are striker fired. I guess that counts.

I know a lady who works for St. Jude Hospital. It seems that they hire a lot of brand new, freshly minted PHDs for their various research programs. These are mid to late 20s who have spent their entire lives as professional students. They have no idea how to live in the real world. The lady I know is their coordinator. She's basically a "Momma" figure. She helps them find a place to live, get moved into town, buy a car, learn to pay bills, organize expenses, etc and so on. Many also come to her for personal and romantic advice. She loves the job and taking care of her "kids". But does get a bit frustrated as how difficult it is for them to handle everyday life.

HOLY CHIT! I hope they catch that idiot!

I have one on a Buckmark and frankly, when bringing the pistol up to eye level, I have a devil of a time trying to find the dot. Is there some trick to this I'm missing? I'll also mention that I'm a big fan of the KISS principle and ain't much for adding extra do-hickies to my carry guns.

PM sent.

I once dated a woman who had 2 PHDs. She may have been highly educated, but that poor gal was dumb as a box of rocks.

For the record: other than a poor choice in mates, I have nothing against Jill Biden. I hope she comes through this with minimum trouble.

I'm afraid that you are very out of date. For several decades now, the "Golden Rule" has been them that have the gold make the rules. This is how government has worked throughout at least my lifetime. I am a Christian. I try to live by God's word. However, I readily admit that I'm not a particularly good one. I do have some rather un-christian moments from time to time. However, I make great effort to not be a hypocrite. To me, that's the worst sin of all. And many churches are filled with it.

Memphis tried 2 buy backs years ago. I went to both with cash in hand and came home empty handed. Nothing but total junk. Nothing worth buying. However, I did turn in a RG-22 that only worked on 3 cylinders for $75 worth of gas and grocery gift certificates. BTW: one was across the parking lot on the same day as a gun show. The buy back took in 26 POS guns and the gun show attracted over 5000 visitors.

How does it hold up to the heat of firing?

The problem with these woke folks is that they're constantly out there looking for new problems to whine and cry about. They're like a bunch of kids running around with a stick in hand looking for a new bear to poke.

WOKE: Being so open minded that your brains have fallen out.

As far as I can tell, many new residents to Memphis come from places like Chicago and Detroit. For many of them there wasn't much choice as they left those places in a hurry. Its a known fact that among certain groups in various northern cities that visitation is available in Memphis when somebody needs to lay low for a while. Some groups swap members on a regular basis. Oh well, except for a few years visiting with Uncle Sam, I've spent pretty much my entire 68 years in and around Shelby County. Sad to see what this place has become. But, I'm gettin' too old to move away, my house is paid for and I guess I'll die here. I'll just keep my head down and try to make the best of it.

I'm by no means an expert, but as I recall the stainless models used a 7XX model number. Best guess would be that your's is a Model 715. However, there were slight differences in the barrel shrouds such as full or half lugs and with or without rib vents that could make a difference. As mentioned, these guns were noted as being built to quickly and easily change barrel lengths by the owner. They were often sold as a "Pistol Pack" in a cased set with 3 or 4 different length barrels, tools and sometimes even several sets of grips. Many believed that the unique barrel mounting system resulted in greater accuracy. DWs were quite popular in the sport of Handgun Metallic Silhouette shooting. While Pistol Packs were popular, DW did also sell these revolvers with just one barrel just like any other brand. I think that may be what you have here. Regardless, these are excellent revolvers with a bit of a cult following. Take pride in owning it. edit: Ok, a little further research indicates that may well be a Model 715-V for vent ribbed barrel. Just ball parkin' here as the pistol packs are much more popular and attract the big bucks. Best guess is that gun with just the one 4" barrel would probably be worth in the $700-900 range.

Might be. I don't recall as there's lots of road rage shootings in Memphis. Hard to remember one specific incident. However, those incidents seem to be more prevalent over on HWY 385. Another good place to avoid.

Surely there's one organized person in this area? C'mon, speak up!

I did some checking of the local news outlets and it appears that only Channel 5 thought this story was worthy of reporting. Just another day in Memphis.

Absolutely wonderful revolver. Especially if you reload and can duplicate the original .38/44 High Velocity load. Whoever buys this, drop me a PM and I'll give you my recipe.

The Sycamore View exit on I-40 is kind of unique. Its the last exit headed west into Memphis before hitting the I-40/240 interchange and the heavy traffic. Very easy access both off and on to the Interstate. Sycamore View is a heavily traveled street providing main access to both East Memphis and Bartlett. Lots of easy access to large, nondescript parking lots and motels. Frankly, if you're from out of town and looking to conduct nefarious business in Memphis, this exit makes the ideal place to hop off the interstate, do your thing, hop back on I-40 and be gone quickly. Likewise, as a very busy intersection, its quite popular with the homeless/ pandering crowd. They inhabit every corner of the intersection and ramps there. Its a rather colorful area.
