Yeah, I placed a bunch of orders using that Cabela's deal on 9mm & some .45 as well.

Lately I've used lots of 9mm Magtech and it works just fine. In the past I've used a box of .38 and it was fine. It's a brand I'd trust.

Product: Model 625 MSRP is $1,079 What would be a reasonable price to pay in the real world today for this revolver? It's an "N" frame, correct? Obviously, those hideous grips would have to go.

I can do better than that. I bought Remington UMC 9mm 115gr FMJ with free delivery from Cabela's for $10.30 a box after tax.

My Springfield XD(M) 5.25" Competition model in .45 ACP runs though .45 Fiocchi without any problem, performing the same as any other brand. On Thursday I got it back from Springfield's Custom Shop which had given it a competition trigger with a 3.5# pull. On Friday I was a the range really...

Isn't this the totally bald guy who thinks the only gun you should carry is the Glock 19? Well, there you have it. You know the caliber & Model you need. What the hell do we have this silly S&W forum for?

$725 sounds like a good deal for that gun OTD. Here's the modern version: Product: Model 625 It will cost $900 + FFL fees. Plus new grips obviously unless you enjoy something that looks like it was a project made by a kindergarten class.

I'd only note that .380 ammo costs notably more than 9mm despite being smaller & less powerful.

My thoughts exactly. The bullet will land somewhere, endangering safety. Either you need to fire your gun in self-defense or you don't need to fire your gun at all. Warning shots will only get you in legal trouble.

I would note that fine Beretta model has a rail, so you can mount a light and/or laser as one might want on a home defense gun.

I live in the free state of Wisconsin, so I can have any size magazine I want. Some states will limit magazines to only 10 rounds and I have speculated that such severe limits would tend to encourage the use of .45s. After all, if you can only put a few holes in the bad guy, you may want those...

Interesting. I shot thousands of rounds of it in .357 Mag and it always seemed sufficiently hot in addition to being quite clean.

I have the S&W 986 (5" barrel) 9mm because I like to fire the cheapest ammo through a thousand dollar gun. I guess that would be called irony.

Uplula. It's what any civilized person uses to load magazines.

If my only choices are snub-nose revolvers (not any real choice at all) at least give me one with an exposed hammer.

Magtech seems to work quite well. I fired over 300 rounds of it on Friday. As for .40 S&W, that's one caliber I don't need to worry about, as I don't use it.

I tried Galco's Miami Classic to hold a Glock 34 and my opinion was it sucked, despite a price of $160. I ended up returning it. It leaned over to one side, the side the weight of the gun pulled it to, and this is far from the heaviest gun around.

Excellent choice. See what feels best to you and buy it. Normally folks would start out with 9mm. It would be quite unusual to start out with .45 given the level of recoil it has, but it's a very personal choice & if .45 is what you prefer, well, who's to argue with that. You should get what...

A Ruger 22/45 won't teach you how to shoot a 1911 any better than any other .22 pistol could. At least if you go with the regular Ruger (with the steep Luger-style grip) you get all an-steel gun that actually weighs much closer to what a real 1911 does.
