Thank you for the welcome. Yes, both guns are the no-lock version.

I know I can get the Speer GD SB in .38+P in the area, but haven't yet checked for the .357 version. Both seem like very good rounds from what I've read on the various boards.

I started out 20 years ago with a S&W 64 .38 as my duty weapon and it was great. Only thing I didn't like was the thin wooden grips. I would have preferred a rubber Hogue but policy didn't allow it. And my first off-duty was a .357 so I'm happy to be getting back to it. Loved the Glocks, but there is just something about a good, solid revolver.

I can also appreciate the comment about the heat. I'm in Florida and with the heat index were breaking 100 degrees every day. Like stepping out into an oven. Nice to have something that isn't dragging your shorts down at the end of the day.
