Congratulations on the promotion! Have carried a Model 28-2 ... either six inch or four inch ... many miles. Very much prefer a Bianchi 111 Cyclone for outdoor use. It can be worn strong side with excellent comfort. I prefer it cross draw as it allows one to get in and out of a car easily. Also makes carry/use of the revolver easier during cold weather when a heavy coat must be worn. HTH. Sincerely. bruce.

Congrats on your promotion Sir! For holsters, I have the Speed Beez N frame holster. It works with my 625 PC and 627 Pro, for leather, my holster maker from AZ made me one. I'll get the exact name when I get back from TDY. It was worth the wait, not only for functionality, but for looks as well. It's cordovan leather with elephant skin. The stock grips are gone, it wears Hogue grips without the finger grooves for gun games, and Herrett Jordan Troopers for when I used it as a woods gun. Grizzly Bears in Montana and Wyoming warrant the M69 or my 10mm 1911.

Congrats on the promotion, your service, and your excellent choice of a revolver. I bought a 627 Pro several years ago, wonderful gun, everyone that picks it up & shoots it loves it. Plenty accurate right out of the box.
I went with a much more utilitarian holster for mine, intended simply to hold it when in the woods or walking back & forth to my short pistol range at the cabin. I bought a Hunter, marked 45103 -1113 on the back, at a LGS shortly after I bought the 627. I think it was in the $35-40 range at that time, and probably still is; $37 at Natchez right now. It is currently designated as a Size 3 VersaFit holster on the Hunter website.

Congratulations on the promotion. It's good that Lipstick 6 has authorized the purchase of the new 627. Now what are you going to get when you make Major?

Thank you for your service and congratulations on the promotion and on getting the purchase approved.
Why do you feel that you need to rotate the magazines of your HD Glock?
I've had issues when leaving a magazine loaded long term (1 year plus) . It may have been reloads causing issues but I switch which magazine is loaded about once a month to ensure I don't have issues.

I've got to give a shout out to Grab a Gun and UPS. From the time I hit submit order to the time I confirmed the serial number was less than 36 hours. I've got to do some chores and work this weekend but I may sneak out to shoot some if I get ammo loaded. I've never shot a mooned revolver but I made some dummies after setting my dies up and got it down pretty quick with 38 specials. I may run a match or to with specials and then order the short colt brass. Obligatory pictures below.

I finally got some 38 Special loaded with 158gr Berry's and CFE Pistol. No chance to shoot them yet but I did dry fire and practice reloads with 38SP cut to 38SC length. That process took a little to long for my liking so for 18 cents a case, I have 500 pieces Starline .38SC brass on the way.

Anschutz: Can`t You go to the ASP at Ft Carson, and get all the ammo You need for Your new revolver. Congratulations on Your promotion, and I hope You have fantastic and rewarding career. I was promoted to Captain in the US Army 11-08-69 at Ft Ord Ca just returned from Viet Nam. That was a long time ago. And it was a turley wild exciting way of making a living and a unique to say the least lifestyle. I envy you for the adventures You have in store. I turley wish I had my life of wearing my Country`s Colors to live over again.

It's a beauty! BTW, I'm jumping on the Short Colt train. A friend lent me some to try and just loading up some dummies for dry fire loading practice is enough to convince me. The miser in me grates at buying new brass but the beauty of moon clips is that I'll get it all back after the stage.
It's definitely the way to go for competition ammo. I lost a few pieces at a steel challenge match but not enough to cry over. Now I have more moon clips so I'm not starting a stage with speed strips loading the gun. I've been loading 125s and to switch from 9 to 38sc and back is a simple change of the shell plate and resizing die.

I don't know if the Captain has children yet but my experience, and that of every man I know, is when the children arrive shortly afterward she jumps all intermediate grades and immediately assumes the rank of Field Marshal. The husband, on the other hand, jumps no grades - just through hoops.Congratulations on your promotion! Great looking revolver you've got there. Congrats on that, too!

Congrats on the promotion, and thank you for your service. That is one nice revolver. I always enjoyed watching the revolver guys in USPSA. If you shoot the Rocky Mountain 300, you will need to invest in some serious moon clips!!

I've bought into the heavy bullet/ low powder charge combo. Currently loading 147 gr. .357 Blue Bullets. The cool kids swear by 160 gr. Bayous and I've tried those too but the blues come out about a penny cheaper (see, I am a miser).
Congrats on your promotion and new gun. Also, thanks for your service.
My primary carry gun for almost a decade was a S&W 329 in a Simply Rugged Sourdough. When bow hunting elk, the 329 rides cross draw in a Bianchi 111 Cyclone -- could live comfortably with either.

So have I but cabelas had 125s on sale and were out of 158s. I'll eventually be switching to Blue Bullets for both 9 and 38 but I'm working through what I have right now.
