Gotta out-of-the-blue call today from a local gun shop that made an order with TALO for one of the 3" GP100s in 10mm 6 months ago...and it came in...
So apparently Ruger is making them again...

Yep, pretty partial to my M720. Thin ( as revolvers go), plenty of power in a small package and accurate.
For woods carry like to tote my Lew Horton 624.

Either square butt or round butt, 38 Special or .357 Magnum, I don't much care which, but make mine a K-Frame Smith & Wesson please.

I'd have to choose a .357 Magnum
Second choice would be one of these 44's (629/24/624).

Nice .357....
ALL of those 44's are SICK! Especially that M24... I'm going to go get mine out of the safe now and oil/clean it because I'm going out of town for a bit... Thanks for sharing!

You do a lot of shootin' inside your car, do ya???
Make sure you wear your earmuffs as it get kinda' loud in there...
It's probably a convertible so give him a break... I've shot from inside my car before out of necessity.
A Model 31-1.

This is my choice... I got her for a steal several years back for $835 including shipping and FFL fees. The original Combats were scraped up so I got this set on here from a nice member here for half of what they go for on eBay. She's my favorite handgun, the M24 LHS 24-3 model... I got the M629-5 Mountain Back Packer also a special order run in 1999 or 2000 but I forget what vendor/who for... I got it from a nice member here for $1,000 delivered.

Smith 60-10 357
This little guy is easy in my top 3 Smiths for me! I shoot Colt short 38 reloads for pure fun and smiles. Kids and girls love it. Kicks a tiny bit more than a .22 but makes targets jump much better. Light to carry and 357 capable( but not entirely enjoyable)! I can carry concealed with boot grips.
Fight the Good Fight...

For a 3" barreled M24 or M29 with Box, Lock, Docs, etc... will run over $2,000 EASY.
If it's a special order Lew Horton Special with all the above and a Roy Jinks Letter of Authenticity then the price is going to run well about $2,000...
5-6 years ago I got 2 Lew Horton Specials with just the Revolvers... both in 90% condition and I paid $1,700 for the .44Magnum M29-3 LHS.
I basically stole the M24 LHS for under $850 delivered. The pawn shop seller didn't bother to wipe her down, clean it at all before posting pics and putting on GB with no reserve and the Combats were a little scratched. I wanted it and won the bid. I get her home and clean it up and this could easily sell for around 2K now because it was So Much Nicer than those dirty GB pics I'm thankful for. Again, in both cases just the Revolver was purchased. I did get Roy Jinks letters for them proving they are legit LHS's after on and on the M24 I bought a very nice pair of Combats for $125 from a member here and I almost felt guilty for paying that low of a price for them.
These 3 inchers whether J, K, or N frames have huge following and I love them. The present so quick from a holster and I easily hit steel at 100 yards with any version I have. They are the perfect Revolver's in my use of concealability and pound for pound power they offer. Plus they balance well, wear well, look great, point equally well for me, and don't advertise to the Sheeple I am wearing a compact but very capable and stout man and pelt stopper. That is just my uses and of course YMMV...
