Many thanks!

S&W 18-3. Just wondering when she was born. I KNOW she's worth more than I paid 8-) Lent my copy of the Catalog out, and now this crossed my path. Thanks!

3" round. That's the other thing: I love 3" K-Frames. I only got to run two cylinders through, but I was easily able to carve out the bullseye at 30". Recoil feels like a stout .38. This is going to be expensive Thanks for the advice!

OK, I'm not even going to try and justify this one. I shot one, I love it, now I want one. My only concern is with the cartridge itself. Modern 9mm loadings run at similar chamber pressures to the 110/125gr .357 loadings that we've all been warned not to shoot extensively through K-Frames...

10-5, 1967. Absolutely nothing unique about it, but I love shooting it. I usually prefer target sights, but there's no arguing with this:

I came back to revolvers after 20 years. I was raised on rifles, and handguns were considered to be last-ditch, close range guns. Little credit was given to accuracy. Though I did train with revolvers, the two specimens I used were a Nagant and (IIRC) a H&R. So, when I started carrying a gun...

S&W Model 66 on the nightstand, backed up by a Marlin 1894 in .357. The deadly trio acts as my early warning system:

I ended up going the custom route. This is a design from Tom Dyer of Saguaro Gunleather.

Indeed. It is the responsibility of every American to know the Jet Jaguar theme song.

Factory re-nickeled, and I certainly plan on shooting it. Mostly looking for something that fills out the hand better and is more durable than the factory plastic.

Does anyone out there do custom stocks for S&W I-Frames? Just came across a .32 Hand Ejector that needs something spiffier than the black plastic.

Don't worry; some of us still push them on our new students One of my favorite pastimes is demonstrating, particularly to the under-40 crowd, that revolvers can shoot just as quickly and accurately as autoloaders. I was taught as a child by an uncle who'd been Hungarian resistance. His...
