I have a Smith and Wesson 3913TSW 9mm with an 8+1 factory magazine blued. This one has the rail attachment on it. It's a DA/SA version. Has the slide ambi safety. Gun works great and eats anything you feed her. The magazine disconnect still operates as it should. Gun is located in the Atlanta...

It may sound "Cray Cray" as the kids say today but I carry 1 round of each of the following brand in my 642 and my speed strips simultaneously: Hornady .38spl 110gr FTXP Hornady .38spl 158gr XTP CorBon +p 110gr JHP Buffalo Bore 125gr JHP Federal +p 110gr JHP Yes, I have 5 different...

Yeah I actually got some from the RK gun show this past weekend at the Georgia Arms station. I would love to hit Georgia Arms more often but them only being open during the week makes it hard to get out west. I'm by the airport.

The M66 is almost the perfect size except it's heavier than the M65. And I'm not really one crazy for adjustable sights. I kinda like fixed sights. Tend to be more accurate to me but that's just me. I have a Model 38 I carry as well for back pocket carry when I don't want to be obvious I'm carrying.

Yeah I haven't seen any of those anywhere. I know they made those marked "Lady Smith" or "Ladysmith" but just haven't seen one.

Bob, Yeah that's just way too steep for me. I was at the RK gun show this past weekend here in Atlanta and found a couple of 3" .44 Magnums right at $1000. But, both had lock systems on them. One was the AirLite and I knew I would never shoot that thing. It feels great for carry but I know once...

Ahh makes sense. It looks really nice if that's the bead blast look you hand buffed. I like it. Yeah mine is stainless and a little rough as you can see. I've been using 0000 wire to buff my stainless models to get the burnt gun powder off the cylinder after shooting. I've never really seen a...

I have not given the alloy guns a thought as of yet. Yeah, wouldn't be good on the range but surely could carry it I'm sure. I guess I'm just use to feeling steel in my hands you know. But it is a thought.

Wow she's lovely. Is she stainless or nickel-carbon? I love that color on her. Those grips are nice but I wouldn't be able to hold 'em. Sweet. Yeah, mine isn't that pretty as she was used when I got her but boy she's accurate as all get out!!!

So I don't know where else to buy ammo from except from either Walmart or Dicks or a Gun Show when they come to town or order online. Walmart carries the Winchester and Remington .44Mag 240gr. I haven't seen any .44 special ammo anywhere. There is a gun show this weekend so maybe I can barter...

Yeah she is lovely. A really well designed revolver and works well. And I got her used and couldn't be more happy with her. I'd like to have a .44 in 3" but just going from place to place .44 mag and .44 special ammo is scarce.

Ok, So I went to the range for lunch and here are the results. The letters marked in red on the target are "M" for .44Mags and "S" for .44Specs. As you can see, I'm much more accurate with the .44Specs over the .44Mags. This was at 7 yards in DA. The .44Mags were brutal as well. I was...

Ok so here are some pics of the S&W M629-1 4" in .44Mag/.44Spec and the M65-3 3" in .357Mag/.38Spec.

I wasn't poo pooing the lock version of the guns just stating it's not my preference. We didn't do anything to disparage the locks in any way. At least, I don't think we did :-).

Thanks for that recommendation bud. I guess I can carry the 4" but like another poster mentioned being able to pack it is key as well.
