  1. I rotate most all of my handguns into carry so I take at least three every range trip. I bought my first 9mm last year and it has become my go to being smaller and lighter than my .45s, usually with my .32 as backup. Like scatman, I have big shorts and tighter jeans so I am moving to OWB holsters and can hide my 4in 8 round .357 in the pocket of most of my shorts.

  2. Only two things keeping me from picking these up,,,distance and if I bring home oNE MORE project my wife will leave me. All things mechanical can be fixed, just a matter of cost. Check out keepemrunning for obsolete parts.

  3. reality is no one wants to hear the solution and I won't go into my version. The fact is we have lost sight of what is important and are seeing the truth in the love of money being the root of all evil.

    Looks like a good job!

    George did a fantastic job on the one I commissioned him to make for my Taurus .357 Tracker! Very much quality work, with a fast turnaround!!!

    I’d post pics, but it’s such a headache to do that here.

    Thank You! It's from my own pattern. And it fought me.

    they are,,,hence the tracking and spying. I've been aware of this stuff longer than it has been in common use. used to try to maintain a low profile. now it's only possible if you live in the cave we talked of when discussing boycotts. eyes and ears are everywhere, literally.

    It’s a huge point of contention between Mexico and the US  and is really not that funny.

    Mexico is already trying to sue major US gun manufacturers for their out of control violence problems, this just adds fuel to the fire.

    Nothing about our southern border is truly funny, But one has to find humor somewhere among all the mess. I consider the lawsuits frivolous. Maybe thr US should sue the Federales for not securing the south side of the border. Maybe if firearms weren't so hard to obtain legally in Mexico it wouldn't be so corrupt.

     The S&W Model 28 is nice but I all ways referr to it as "The Boat Anchor" at over 2.5 lbs on the 4", shoots soft but carry? Naw, Id pass on that. If I wanted to get spendy on a nice DA wheel gun, my vote goes for the older 686 or 586. If you want to carry it all day with less range time, the 66/19 is a sweet hart to carry.  Now if your cheap like me, I opted for an old model Taurus 669 but the 689's look nice with ribbed barrels. The triggers need a little work to bring them around to near S&W function but they shoot as well as the S&W's in general. The rear sight is what S&W SHOULD have done decades ago!  Pocketed a few C notes on a fine 357 S&W L frame clone. I did the trigger to a 8.5 lb DA pull and changed the grip. Keeper. JMO.

    agreed. the Taurus 669/689 are great. Never heard of them having issues with full magnum loads like what I'm reading about the S&W. The tracker would be a good choice for carry. 

    never owned a S&W so I don't know what I'm missing. but I will 

  8. Went to the Lafayette show today. Smaller more intimate show. Lots of collector knives and guns with absolutely no bug zapper salespersons. proportionate supply of ammo available at new normal pricing including 30-30 and 357 mag. (sorry, these are the two I'm looking for. Didn't notice anything else other than lots of 22) didn't buy any though. Gun prices were a tad high for most but there were some high quality arms available.

    Enjoyed myself immensely. Hope ammo availability holds because I'm out of primers.

  9. I was looking for a .40 when I ran across the first 9mm I ever bought. at the time, 40 and 44 mag were the only thing on the shelf. And there was a LOT of 40 cal on the shelf. I'll probably get a 10mm instead. cost is higher but most will run 40 ammo. Same logic as choosing a 357 mag over a 38 special for me. I have nothing against 40 S&W but sorry guys, glock makes 'homely pistols. That said, if I needed a budget handgun, the OP has a good point. I wouldn't have a problem with one of these turn ins.
