Made my choice for what to me are all the obvious reasons decades ago. J-frame pocket carry 'til I ain't carrying no more!

4" Model 64 about1993 if I remember correctly. $199 police trade in. LGS must have had 50 of them to choose from.

Eva Cassidy She died too soon like so many great talents. She played up the road in D.C. but I never heard of her til I started cruising You Tube. Could have hopped in the car and gone up to see her had she gotten the publicity she deserved.

If you think he sounds like Little Richard, there is a reason.

The gun I saw was stamped on the right side .32 WCF CTG.

I happened upon a K-Frame .32 WCF 6" revolver yesterday in a local gunshop. First one I've ever seen in the flesh. Didn't know that .32WCF and .32-20 are one and the same caliber! This piece showed a lot of wear but was tight and seemed to function fine. They want $299 for it - I have no...

I don't have anything from twitter/X but here is a photo of a famous B-24 I took here in Richmond about 30 years ago. I waited until the elderly lady walked into the frame and then I snapped a few frames. For obvious reasons, at least in my mind. Back then I was working as a press...

My 36. I changed back to the Hogue Bantam grips. And I changed back to the original hammer. Also got a new DeSantis pocket holster that works better than my old Mika holster.

The comment about inadequate training hits home with my USAF experience from circa 50 years ago. Qualified with an M-16 in basic, then re-qualified each year. NEVER touched a handgun in my four years. There were plenty of young men I worked with that I would have had grave concerns about had...

10-5 snubby for sale locally for $699. Beautiful piece but a little rich for my blood.

I visited a local gunshop today to pick up a rifle that they repaired for me and darn, I plumb forgot to ask any of the folks ( I know many of them pretty well ) what the reaction of customers has been about the 320 controversy. Reckon I just have an excuse to go back tomorrow!

Can't go wrong with a nice used Model 10 or 64, in good operating condition. Funny that the answer to this question has, at least in my mind, been the same for the last 30-40 years!

The military probably does not have enough suitable alternate pistols in their inventory to immediately replace all the 320s.

Match director of a local match I may attend Saturday bans 320 from the firing line. He says he will have to run shooters who use the 320 one at a time.
