I would love a K-frame sized .22 revolver but I just can't help but balk at the price......still, 'someday' I will have one. Probably get a .357 (for about the same price) first, though.

Before my son shipped off to Afghanistan (he arrived there yesteday), I went to visit him at his home base and he and I went to the gun store at the PX. They had a Taurus model 94 stainless .22 revolver for just over $400. I played around with it a bit but it was much smaller than I expected...

Sweet! Keep us posted on how you like it when you take it out for a test drive. I'd love a nice .22 revolver but the price tag frightens me away. Mind if I ask what you paid for it?

Yes it was very nice of him. I like this pistol a lot so far. Thank you for the wishes for his safe return. He is my only son and now I know what my parents must have felt like when I went to Vietnam.

I just recently got my Sigma SW9VE (gift from son that I posted about in another thread) and I was surprised that I didn't mind the trigger at all on it after what I keep reading about how bad it is supposed to be. Now, I am an old-time revolver guy so that might be why the Sigma doesn't seem...

Me, too, but even the full-size SW9VE that I just got doesn't seem all that large to me. I am very pleased with its size but I would buy a compact version in a heart-beat, too!

My son is in the Air Force and just got orders to go to Afghanistan later this year so he wanted me to have his SW9VE before he left. It is almost brand-new as he has only fired about 200 rounds through it since buying it a few months ago. He knew I was going to get one and figured he could...

Now...if the Sigma only came in a black slide like it did with the Allied Forces model. I do like that black better than the stainless but that is just cosmetics. The stainless did not bother me when I was sighting down the slide at the gun store.

If I am remembering correctly, I think my son said some dealer at the gun show last month had the Sigmas for $260 plus tax. Seems like a pretty decent deal to me. A buddy of mine has two M&P .40 caliber models (one compact and one full-size) and I really like those a lot but even one M&P is...

Hey, JRich, in fact gun shop owner had a Glock on his hip when we were there so that probably lets us know where his sympathies lie. My ex-Cop buddy who was with me is a big Glock fan be he told me that he was impressed with the Sigma that we saw at the other gun shop so at least he is...

Yeah, when I left that gun shop I was convinced that this particular shop owner had other reasons for bad-mouthing the Sigma. Maybe he didn't carry them because the profit margin was too low on Sigmas as this guy is not the best-priced shop in the area. He seems to run about $30 higher than...

I went gun shopping this past weekend with my son. We are both interested in the Sigma and I asked the owner of the first store we visited if he had any we could look at and his reply was that he doesn't carry the Sigma because "it is junk". I gently attempted to get some more details about...

Hi, guys! I am Scott from Southwestern Michigan (known as the Sunset Coast because of all the great sunsets we get over Lake Michigan). I am an ex-Marine (1969-1972) and an ex-cop (1976-1979) who is starting to get back into handguns again after far too many years away from shooting. I'll...
