I have one I bought at a consignment auction several years ago for $350. Nice revolver , a fun plinker, not a target revolver. Very ammo sensitive. In my opinion $899 is way too much. Maybe $650 tops.

According to Brian Pearce the std and +P marked .38 spl cases are the same except for the marking.

Contrary to what some folks like to say the standard .38 spl 158 gr RN lead has never been loaded to +P pressures or velocity.

Aguila can often be found on sale and is as good as any US brand and better than some.

Interesting. Several years ago I tested several oils for corrosion resistance by submerging uncoated nails in half filled sealed small bottles with nails coated with the oils. Break Free was the clear winner. After two years in the water I tired of waiting and removed the nails coated with Break...

Happy Birthday and wishes for many more to come!

I use Remington 95 gr FMJ RN ammo in my Ruger LCP because it chronos a bit faster than other brands. Winchester 95 gr FN FMJ is the slowest domestic brand of 95 gr FMJ I have ever chronographed. HPs out of the LCP aren't going to expand or penetrate and may not feed.

A modern .380 like the Glock 42 is easier to carry than a J frame, especially a steel one. An extra magazine is easy to carry and .380 95 gr FMJ will completely penetrate an upper torso so what more do you need?

If you buy an older used Glock and want it "upgraded", send it to Glock and they will do it for free and replace your old magazines with new ones.

My 18-4 came from the factory with a TT and TH. Don't know about the 15-4 in question but if it has them it should add a bit to the price.

Harv 24 my comment about the M9 being the most tested was about the US Military's tests in finding a replacement for the 1911, not in torture testing round counts. But it's hard to know for sure about round counts. Beretta says that the M9 has a mean of 30,000 rounds between malfunctions.

The Beretta M9 has been called the most tested pistol ever made and has stood the test of time in the battle field. It is one of the very best 9mm handguns ever made. And... the 9mm is a better military ctg than the old slow and heavy .45 acp despite the old nonsense about "if it don't start...

Looks more like a $350 gun to me than a $550 gun but it's your money. I'd rather have a well used original 1917 than that thing.

Fox News has shown videos of the event multiple times in my area praising the "good samaritan" that confronted the perp.

I saw him once back in the mid 80s live in Indianapolis. I liked his music but some folks didn't I guess. Some people took his persona a bit too seriously I think. He was a true show man.
