First of all thanks to the OP for asking the original question because the replies have been very interesting. Especially eb07's link to the desert's edge...absolutely the most informative review I've read in a long time. I concur with WATCHDOG with regard to the Charter Arms Bulldog. The 3"...

OWB go w/ Simply Rugged and I like their Sourdough Pancake model. http://shop.simplyrugged.com/ecommerce/Sourdough-Pancake[emoji769]-.cfm?item_id=151&parent=669 IWB there aren't too many good options for medium frame wheelies. I use a Galco Summer Comfort for my M242 Ti. Conceals well and is...

Great topic Tom. The police trade-in "Block" or a beater Smith are great recommendations. I concur with those members expressing concern about leaving loaded guns in an unattended vehicle. To be honest I assumed you were looking for a gun to take with you on your person or next to you when...

Great advice so far and frankly you should expect nothing less from this forum. I have owned both new & used and I have had mixed experiences. You can get a good or bad one new or used. Truth is, experience is important and making mistakes is part of that. The checkout recommendations earlier...

Here in OKC I've seen at least 2 snubbie M66's go for $625 & $650 on a local forum. Both private sales and didn't last long. I can't help but think that $599 is a great deal. If it's as clean as you indicate, it's priced right to buy. If you wait it will be gone. Offer less but don't leave it...

Very good advice and much appreciated. I was fortunate to sell the CZ today. Should be enough...I hope. I am much obliged to all those members who responded. Respectfully, -Envy

Thank you all very much for the feedback. Looks like I will give my carry ammo a try in the M38-1. Respectfully, ~Envy

When the bug bites you, the effect is life-long. Unfortunately you will find that they (wheelies) do not like being alone. After you get 2 or 3 you start to wonder if they are somehow related to rabbits because they will multiply. Every time you open the safe you find another one nestled in...

I have searched high and low to find a related topic in this forum or anywhere else online and I cannot find a definitive answer. Does anyone know whether I can shoot +P ammo in my M 38-1 Airweight? It may be ill-advised to give it a steady diet of any hot loads, but I generally carry +P...

OF course you need another...if you can afford it. This way you can shoot one and save the other for quality time in your safe. A clean M242Ti is a pretty rare find. I love mine and consider it a keeper.

Very true regarding what a M-19 will do when compared to a J-frame, except with respect to concealability. More importantly your comment about "a go to War gun" is partly true too. I have a Block (G19) so I wouldn't be without a high-cap 9mm. Very good points as you can see which is making my...

Honestly Bear that's the one thing that is eating at me. Besides the fact that I love K frame snubbies! Seems like I can find the CZ or 38-1 for money I am willing to pay...some time in the future, but every "clean" 19 is going for $600 or more!

I'm sure I know the answer I am bound to get on this forum, but I am leaning one way already. I need a friendly push to help me off of the ledge...so to speak. I am not independently wealthy and only have so much spendable income which is why I am seeking help with a tough decision. I am...

New in box for $600 at a LGS is a steal! You can't touch that price for a like new 19-5. If that was like new without a box that would be a good price. Unfortunately for model 19's, the price drops substantially when the gun is not in 100% condition. Great find...pic's please!

The number of models and subsequent choices for Smith wheelies can be intimidating. As mentioned previously, figure out what you want to use it for and then narrow your choices. I will tell you that some models will be better suited for all-around use. I would recommend a 4" barreled stainless...

I too am new to the reloading addiction. And I also waited too long to get everything I needed. It's surprising to see the demand for reloading supplies and equipment but I think it's great. More folks reloading means better support from the manufacturer's. .22 shortage is amusing when you...

Howdy all! It seems I finally grew tired of ending up @ the S&W forum doing searches online, only to greeted with the std message; "you are just a visitor and don't have access to all of this forum/site..." or something like that. I decided that as much as I love revolvers, especially Smith's...
