IMO, the 327 needs to go into a k frame with a 3 in barrel. I don't care if it's a mountain gun or not.

PDW stands for Pete David Weber, one of the best bowlers of all time. I don't care what the rest of you say.

It would be nice if someone did a poll so we can get an idea as to the extent of the problems

I like olive wood on stainless.

I like the Altamont roper grips on stainless. Particularly the olive wood.

I keep hearing about QC issues with all the mountain guns and it makes be almost afraid to order one. Since people tend to complain if there's an issue and not say anything if everything is OK, it would be nice if someone did a poll so we can get an idea as to the extent of the problems.

Put the UNLOADED gun in a padded vise with the barrel facing up. Tie a string to a bucket handle and loop it through the trigger guard resting on the trigger and then back to the bucket handle and tie so that the bucket is suspended in air below the gun with all it's weight on the trigger. Put...
