Never expected to see the debate on .38 SPL carry ammo end up on 158 RNL.

I've purchased about 20 used guns in the last 30 years; almost every one was dirty.

There are guys out there rich enough that they could sneeze $1800 and not even look at the Kneenex before they throw it away.

When laying down suppressive fire with the Model 10, the pencil barrel would overheat and droop (like in the cartoons). Hence the heavy barrel. ��

I carry a 4506, which is similar in size/weight to a 1911, in a Dom Hume JIT holster on a Wilderness Instructor belt.

Just to expand on California's permits- guns are listed by serial number, and many places have a three gun limit.

.32 H&R Magnum has been around since the mid-80s, not sure I'd call that 'fairly new'.

With regard to over-penetration, you can chose a load to give the penetration you desire. If you sort Lucky Gunner’s test results for penetration depth, the first three loads in .38 for a 2” barrel are 11.8”, 12.3”, and 13.0”. First three loads for .357 in a 2” barrel are 10.5”, 13.0”, and...

Lucky Gunner has gel tests of .38 Special and .357 rounds from 2” barrels, you can compare penetration and expansion for a variety of ammo. I practiced with and carried regularly a 442 for about 20 years. At this point in my life, you’d need to fork over a $100 bill to get me to fire a full...

I assume this is a 632UC. How did the grip work out for you?

Nice pistol. Is the rear sight stock? I'm in California too, I've been looking for a 391X for about ten years; no luck so far.
