I took a hunter safety course in college. I scored really well on the shoot-dont shoot slide show test, but that was 100 years ago. We shot some type of shotgun at clay skeets, but I really do not remember much else about the class other than the phrase shoot-dont shoot.

No, I haven't. I was going to take a CCW class. I thought I had to have my own gun before I take it; so, I haven't looked into it yet. I'll look into that right away. Thank you for the advice.

My plan to try the 640, 642 & Ruger SP101 in a side by side shooting test failed. I called the only ranges I could find in West Monroe, Alexandria and Shreveport to ask about rentals. None had these, but the one in Alexandria had a 442. I just couldn't justify the expense of traveling 2 hours...

Do you live within a 2 hour drive of Monroe, LA? Thanks, Suzie

Wow! that sounds great! When I read about it, I looked in the upper right corner of your post in hopes of seeing that I live near you. I tried to give different set ups a trial by going to one of the ranges that rents out hand guns and found out that the only ones they have for rent are ones...

Oh, great! If I order thru a local store, say TP Outdoors because they have a shooting range, is the manager's word that it is in good order enuf or should I have a gunsmith look at it, too? If I'm going to spend $1k on the 640Pro and CT grip, maybe the manager would even test fire it for...

Oh. I see. Thank you.

Dumb question: if a grip will fit a 38, it will also fit a 357 as long as they are both "J" frames? I've seen pictures of the CT in pink on a 38, I didn't know it would fit on the 357. That would be so sweeeet! Thank you for the reassurance about the aluminum. It would be faster to...

You're right, Hapworth!!!! Jennie Bergeron in Customer Service confirmed for me that the 640Pro does not have the internal lock. Thank you so much! Now if I could get that CT grip in pink, I would be one happy shooter. :o

What does "no breathe on trigger discharge" mean? Thanks, Suzie

The 442 is soooo not pretty, IMO. I shouldn't be so superficial, but if it's not pretty, I'm not going to be inspired to practice with it. I'm not going to be in a situation where I have to worry about light glinting off the surface. Any time I'd need to use it, the wanna-be-assailant would...

Oh, Hapworth, thank you. She's gorgeous! I'm emailing the customer service department just to double check on the internal lock situation. To be frank, I'm scared of the idea of buying used. #1, Meeting a stranger who has a gun makes me nervous; and #2 I don't have the experience to know...

Thank you, MShamburger

Thank you, Joe. I'll give them a look-see,

Thank you, 18DAI, I took a look at one on Ruger's website and am definitely interested and will shoot it if it's available. I couldn't tell from looking at the ad, but since you like it, I surmise that it does not have an internal lock ???? If it does not have an internal lock, I believe I'd...
