If I save up my pennies, I can buy another one for my weak side and still have money left over compared to a S&W. Or maybe I'll buy a model 605 .357 in stainless steel. Yes, I know: quality, power, long-term value, comparing apples & oranges...but I don't carry every day and my budget can't justify double the cost for an S&W boom gun.Sharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045832954199589918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-70393161060249072842018-06-06T21:57:50.690-05:002018-06-06T21:57:50.690-05:00And when S&W stops selling them with the stupi...And when S&W stops selling them with the stupid lawyer-driven hammer lock, I'll consider buying one.<br /><br />Until then, the only S&W products I consume will be obtained at the "used" counter, for exactly that reason.<br /><br />Never buy guns from companies run by idiots; you'll always regret it.Aesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-77763281612979038882018-06-06T21:40:44.296-05:002018-06-06T21:40:44.296-05:00I will continue to lack enthusiasm for their produ...I will continue to lack enthusiasm for their products until they eliminate the Hillary Hole.rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841345914979706106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-18099706642229762942018-06-06T14:23:28.776-05:002018-06-06T14:23:28.776-05:00I have several old S&W DA revolvers.

Some guy shows up with 3 different Casulls and ammo, offering us the opportunity to shoot them. (I think he was trying to sell them although no offers were made.) As an old bullseye shooter I've put thousands of hardball rounds downrange but damn those .454 Casull hurt! Good way to develop a flinch if you didn't already have one.<br /><br />I like my 640 in .357 for pocket or ankle carry.Flugelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158548139451148587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-83587602677298337702018-06-06T10:55:35.380-05:002018-06-06T10:55:35.380-05:00I went another way with the Ruger Super Redhawk in...I went another way with the Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull/.45 Colt. However, this is just as good and I like the Smiths A LOT. The venerable Model 66 was issued to SEAL Teams back when I was in service as was the 1911A1 Colt. The stainless Model 66 was better suited to a maritime environment than the Colt.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
