Hello from Australia.....
My wife and I are currently going through the long, laborious process of obtaining a class H license for sport/target shooting with Handguns.
We're limited to .38 as a maximum caliber so 9mm and .357 is fine but .45 is not allowed unless we also apply for a Cat C amendment, which we are doing.
My wife has very little idea of what she wants to shoot, she likes the Automatics, 1911 etc. but also really likes the smaller grips of a revolver, so she is unsure, i am steering her towards a S&W if for no other reason than I love the brand, have always liked them and i'm not really sure why, the exceptions would be the Colt Python .357 or the Desert Eagle.50 which we can't have.....
I know what i want, a 627 V-Comp, i like the idea of an 8 shot revolver, and it's a work of art to me, aside from the stupid lock which will likely never get used anyway..... I also REALLY want a 945, probably a -1 and it has to be a 5" barrel, I saw one in a gun magazine over 20 years ago and it has always stuck with me, if i'm limited by my license i'll get a pro series 9mm which is easy to get here but if i do get my Cat C i'll be looking for a 945 which i'm sure i will have to import from the U.S but i'll deal with that if/when it comes up LOL
Anyway, thanks for having us, we will have lots of stupid questions and I appreciate the forum being available to us.
Cheers
