SELECTING THE BEST revolver & pistol
By Alejandro Pera THE BEST AND THE BEST GUN REVOLVER
Dear forum members, I have always sought perfection in their arms and this search led me to certain experiences and conclusions regarding what is the best gun. My dad, Rodofo Pera English, who was an expert and lover of small arms, he knew what he was doing when he selected for himself an old but spotless, Smith & Wesson Model 10, 1928, which has it is to his credit thousands and thousands of shots over and spicy charges. So the use and years left their mark on him, but this precisely is the spirit of my dad .Each one of his pieces come numbered, and with a finish of excellence, even in the case of a service model, is finished and completion, would now be unthinkable luxury and manufacture a weapon. I keep it as the Holy Grail, as it was my dad's gun. As the once had in her having a S & W. Masterpiece Model 14, 6 inches and looks up adjustable spotlight Patridge type. Indeed, as lover who was weapons, he had all types and models of handguns, for economic reasons, because it was a humble worker and had to bring us up to us and my mom was ill, had as weapons by short while the proved and sold unable to keep them as was his wish when he came his way as fate or providence copies very precious and unique states of preservation, some almost unused for some widow or people who for various circumstances sold. So I used to have a gun Luger, new Swiss model, Colt's Derringer pistol bronze, new, whose pipe basculaba sideways, to name a few I remember.
Well, with this heritage of knowledge Ferrero, I formed and a taste for the good weapons are my passion. A healthy passion, because far, this violence, but there is much prejudice in my country by the issue of weapons here and find a free space where one can express and share this passion healthily.
In my search for Ferrera excellence, within my means, I went through several stages, first I looked for a gun (or gun) sui-generis (general use), as well spent to acquire a Vostok gun Soviet-made .22 lr . which was a piece of manufacturing, very serious, of what I call "real" all-steel of excellent quality, but a simple design for a gun shot, with some eccentricities, which seriously affected the aesthetics of the weapon as a crude rise to the chassis, above the car in order to avoid erro own game entered by the carriage. A point adjustable for elevation and windage look that was so difficult to adjust to step out of my hands unable to achieve good fit. Available in addition to several interchangeable hikes in order to select light with respect to the same focus to select the shooting discipline as they chose. Furthermore the trigger was not adjustable and instead was pretty hard. Hammer was in sight, which was a safety advantage in my opinion, lacking safe and not left open after the last shot. Apart she had fins on both sides like a machine gun to pull the car with gloves. Finally a contradiction, as brought from another world, yeah right on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Well what if it was a pleasure to see steel and machining, as was all forged, machined and milled, machined old school. Making this weapon would make a fortune today, but labor in Russia in those days was given away. Also, coming full of spare parts in case, that is to last 200 years. He had been presented in a black plastic bag and wrapped airtight closed briefcase thick transparent plastic bag inflated, a curiosity, if it was in the process of export and transport of cargo, fell to float sea. Well, in short, it did not hit too well, so I sold it shortly. Later I bought a Smith & Wesson Model 60, was the classic model 36 with frame J, but in stainless steel, was the first gun that was made in the world of stainless steel, the model 60 honors the year I came to the sale and presented to the market in the catalogs of "Shoter's blble" 1960. The first time I went to shoot, beat well, to be a defensive gun use, that is 10 and 9 in the target freehand 15 meters, but by introducing ammunition + p, wrist turned me in a way that surprised me, this is a munition that although the weapon intrinsically the bear nice, it was clear that the power of the ammunition exceeded the performance of ergonomic design. Nevertheless it was a reliable and excellent weapon but had a quality defect manufacturing unacceptable to Smith & Wesson brand, the stud, which has the left side that holds the drum in place when he turns the drum to the left to be charged, it was polished over and in a position of the cylinder literally cylinder revolver out!, the quality of the Smith & Wesson from my experience in the 80s had fallen sharply, was the time when Colt 's gave the tail before succumbing to cease the manufacture of guns. Certainly that was the heyday of the Ninewonderfull (9 mm pistols maravllosas Parabelum large capacity) that eclipsed sales of revolvers, The Colt's chose to close down rather than continue manufacturing quality more. The Smith & Wesson, then low quality levels to compete on price, and then later retrieve the usual quality standards. The time gave the reason for Smith & Wesson, survived, Colt's, did not run the same fate. Is the production line Colt's was not made for poor quality products. They were adjusted by hand. This is very expensive and impossible to sustain.
Later, I bought a Smith & Wesson model 422, very nice, but a piece of general economic use but was a Smith & Wesson, handles walnut, good finish, but it was a caliber that defense was not acceptable, and to throw only served to "plinking" shoot at cans or something. I got a spare magazine, to feel more supported, but was far from excellence. Nice but that alone sold it.
Years later I learned to have a revolver Smith & Wesson Model 13 is the same identical model to the modern model 10 with pipe bull, but recalibrated for 357 magnum caliber.
So did the query to the factory, and they said that this model was a model of service. I knew then, that was the last model scrambling to serve as an official weapon knew the FBI in New York before moving to the guns 9x19.
He had some things that revolver, curious to my knowledge, for example, the pipe was empipado pressure on the chassis was not threaded and a fixing bolt as was the classic Smith & Wesson, another detail was that the barrel bull was Inside, conical, and polishing of excellence comparable to just Browgning mirror pipes. The drum had a very large gap between the chassis and the back recently come to realize that this probably was to place so-called "moon clip" that are kind of fast chargers. He also had a taper in the entry drum bedrooms I see now that Smith & Wesson, the improvements offered as "Pro" series. This means that that gun was an early piece for her age. Well, on a hunting trip I was lost and I stole it. In order, however, did not I then felt a great loss because it was heavy for "concealed carry" to be carried and to throw no agrupapa what I demand a good revolver, made a cake of about 3 ½ inches at 25 meters . This good but not excellent. The best we had this revolver, caliber .357 Magnum was a Classic Form 10-base.
Later, I bought three revolvers, all Colt's. A Detective Special, art, NIB (as plastic bag) a Police Positive Special, 4 inch 2 nd. Generation, manufactured in 1958, in 95% condition with original carton with the original warranty papers etc. Originally purchased by the previous owner in a house of many world famous story of Montevideo, "Boqua & Sholberg" subsidiary of the parent company in Belgium, said store closed its doors a few decades ago, but for people who already painted a few gray, these latititudes, they know the prestige of the store in importing and selling variety of quality products and other weapons that were not quality but that the marking with logo factory a sun. At a time when Uruguay, was very prosperous country and came to some very fine pieces.
The Special Police Positive revolver Colt's, has a perfect fit, in his pieces, almost no use, I threw in the polygon with and 25 meters, able to group 10 and 9 with an 8 lost.
And the third is a revolver Colt's Snuby 2-inch Cobra model, second generation, manufactured in 1960, caliber 32 S & W Long. In excellent conditions of preservation in 95%. with some very small scratches and some small picadurita inside the pipe. The funny thing to me is that this revolversito, hits too, for what this is doing 10 and a nine to 25 meters, and days spent in the field had a bird 25 meters walking on grass, you point and I threw but confess that I thought hit him, I hit him in the head, 25 meters! I'm a shooter lot, do not compete and do not throw every week if I have good technique I teach my child's father, it is all merit of the weapon.
Transport is very nice, because weight is only 15 ounces or 430 grams.
But I do not feel supported with the caliber, however, use refills, which helps.
This led me to Detective Special, .38 Spl. which could groupings they approached what could the Cobra 32 but a better caliber, however, ammunition entering my country 38 Spl. but they serve to throw their burdens are maginales and Stoping Power is meager to stop an attacker, especially in a 2-inch pipe. Then I experimented with loads + p but alone a few explosions, although it is assumed that Detective Special, 3rd generation, are suitable for loads + p moderately, the gun began to show some signs of signs of premature deterioration as a very light involvement by the way, in the light between the pipe and tabor, which generated serious doubts I use loads + p in this revolver. Besides this weighed just over 21 ounces, this is 600 grams, the weight was too much to be carried in your pocket and if it was very comfortable to port with a holster belt clip-on, for it had plenty of better options and sold .
On the other hand, the positive Colt's Special spout 4 inches, 2 generation is much better finished and factory set the Detective Special, and despite having used sparingly + p charges accusing him no indication or no signs of deterioration any. Therefore I keep still. It is the same size, dimensions and weight as the Detective Special, except that it has 2 inches in the pipe. Does not make big difference, and being 4 inches, I feel supported, Stoping have enough power, stopping power, to an attacker.
In my experience, then, the 2 nd. Colt's generations are excellent. I can not say the same for the third or last, who also had a white plastic piezita (silicone), under the button factory opening drum to compensate for lack of fit and easy sliding piece; and you had to get the quality to compete in the market, and old Armeros of Colt's Masters were gone, who knows who arming revolvers. Which it does not happen so in the 2nd generation, whose setting was so is being crafted by Master Gunsmiths old old. Even with the aid of a magnifying glass one gets detected in some critical parts footprint lime fine adjustment of the piece. Unfortunately, all was lost. So I wonder what it traded under $ but not only do not feel voices to praise and recognize the Colt's Police Positive Special, as parts of excellence, perhaps because there are many indeed, and it depreciates in value to collectors, it is a serial revolver one hundred thousand were made I think over a million, but adjusted by hand, Masters Armeros. However, interestingly, if I heard voices praising the Detective Special, when it comes to the same gun with a 2-inch pipe, it has no other difference.
Well, following my adventure, the pursuit of excellence. After years, I have to give him the reason my dear Dad. There is no doubt that Smith & Wesson are better. Everything depends to a weapon is made to be used with care rigor but to enjoy it, not just for her. In some gringo forum once read this statement: "The Colt's revolvers are to admire and Smith & Wesson are for use", you may have a lot of reason in this. Both however, in my view, are going to be used and which have been used and will continue for many more years. Some have, and excellent steels are more portable, have less material, a close drum solo, all this has its advantage but do not support the harsh treatment that supports a Smith & Wesson. Other design tip the balance for Smith & Wesson like to bring down the drum, you have to use both hands, one to press the release button and the other to push the drum. Instead a Smith & Wesson if necessary with the same right hand to press the button with your thumb, with the middle finger push the drum to fold down, without using the other hand, this can be crucial in combat , even if they hurt. And also, you have to see depending on the model. For example the action of the frame J Smith & Wesson, is not the best. Besides these frames J, carrying drums of 5 shots while their similar Colt's house 6 shots, this makes a difference of 20% more ammunition, which may or may not be decisive in combat. The action of the frames J is largely superseded by the double action of Colt's in its intermediate frame between J and K. However, shares of Smith & Wesson in frames K mainspring and adjusted them in tension, They are superior to the double Colt's action. except Colt's Python, which is all set to hand Armeros Masters and practically, is not a revóver standard in this regard. Adolesciendo also continues to be fragile rigorous use and spicy or strong charges.
Today, I continue in the pursuit of perfection, and my attention is to the Smith & Wesson.
However, a final thought, there is no perfect machines, some have a adolescen other virtues and defects or limitations. This one which is which and I think this is subjective and varies with the tastes and fashions and ages and stages of each.
In terms of other weapons such as pistols caliber 22. Lr.
I think I reached my perfection and is a gun Browgnig. Factory Nationale of War Armes Belgium. Challenger model with interchangeable pipes 4 and 6 inches, all forged and machined steel, made in the 60s, with walnut grips with fine checkering, adjustable sights, a piece that will fabricate my dad looks point substantially improves . Gold-plated trigger. And most importantly, besides the infinite emotional value for me since my mother chose with my dad when I was a very young child. Is this gun with thousands of rounds over, NEVER jam, which is unsurpassed in a semiautomatic .22 LR. Well as you know that caliber is prone to jamming and is now an accepted fact and forgiven in a semi-automatic weapon of that caliber. Furthermore, as you would expect it has a precision of excellence 10-25 meters. Besides having to pressure the adjustable trigger.
Regarding Semi-automatic pistols in caliber defense after having many guns, including 220 Sig Sauer, very portable and aligns nicely repeated in rapid sequence shot, but I was not so precise and strong as they say, sold. The Beretta 92 bs. Excellent gun war, too big for civilian use. Bereta 84 gun BB gun with excellent performance of combat pistol, it can and very comfortable size and low weight to be cover for civil use, suffers from my point of view, the Calibre 380, or short 9mm (9x17) no I feel supported. By the way it has a capacity of excellent fire that compensates the lack of stopping power ammunition, but in my country, you can only use solid ammunition, no other options at their disposal, the American brothers and perhaps would change my position and terminal ballistic stopping power of 380 ACP caliber. Also in my country you can use the 9mm Parabellum caliber. So I sold it.
Supe have a Glock 42 to be carried in your pocket, this gun when the new purchase package, had two glitches that surprised given me the prestige of the brand: it was deemed, discovered that the problem was asperosidad surface slide or ammunition notch leading to the bedroom, so that a fine work, mirror polishing 100% reliable slide solved. The other problem is that the lever locks the car when left open after the last shot as he tried to lower it was tough, I had to contend with both hands, that I saw in all instances, it was not my failed gun, was so model, after some use, the problem was solved alone. But if a woman bought it hoping to use it as it comes, would cause serious problems to activate the locking lever of the carriage. Sure sure, with hundreds of shooting both probably only problem would be solved without any intervention. Perhaps in larger sizes to 380 ACP where the recoil spring is stronger enter the ammunition to the bedroom of the pipe without problem. But persisted two flaws for my use, I repeat to me, maybe for others it is not, as though one was that the Fast Action system Glock demand if or when using cartridge belts or holster, appropriate, otherwise carry it with bullet bedroom on the loose in a pocket it becomes dangerous. So I did bring me especially because there was a sale on my country, Holster "De Santis Gunhide" Super Fly model, which is made with modern materials, plastics for use in space, which adhere to the fabric of the garment. The other flaw is the caliber, again, I was not backed by the 380 ACP and did not always have an opportunity to use my new holster and had to carry it without bullet in the chamber so I sold it. After my experience, I believe that the Glock pistols are excellent, but not perfect as its slogan says. And those little problems I mentioned the easily solved, if in the production of Masters exist Glock Gunsmiths old school, this is utopia. Precisely the genius of glock is the production of excellence, replacing skilled labor and quality materials by robotics and space alloys. By the way, this makes you lose a lot of the "spirit" lovers of weapons are used. But I guess, to the extent that you start using, you get to good clusters, do not fail, you start to get a link and discover the true spirit of having a Glock with you, trust your life on it and feel safe.
The question, come back to buy a Glock, the answer undoubtedly for my fiabliadad its prestige and quality is intact, but not the model 42 in 380 ACP, just buy 9 mm Pb. Probably the model 19.
So, I feel I have reached perfection on central fire guns, with my CZ P01 Shadow. 1.5 inch groups at 25 meters with 115 g ammunition. 25 meters, and is so easy to shoot. Moreover it never gets stuck, it's all steel which ensures a long service without losing accuracy, which does not happen with the Beretta, which spend it for war or defensive use, after hundreds of shots, if you lose a little of precicisón and passes to group 25 meters, 1 ½ inch to group 4 or 5 inches makes no difference. To my demand and uses itself. The only limitation that has my CZ is weight 1.180 gr. by the way, when you shoot is a pleasure, you can double trap or shot very fast and almost no elevation, far from exaggerating, it seems that almost shoot a gun 22 lr. You can hunt with it, like you're holding a gun shooting 22 lr. I Cazé a hare over 60 meters, I was sitting with my CZ Shadow, and I'm a shooter heap.
My pursuit of perfection, is now oriented in a weapon that is very portable, ie it must weigh no more than 15 ounces, be reliable, be 9mm or 38 caliber SPL + p + or 357 Magnum. Well, I have not fallen in love with any yet. But always, as I used to say my dad must have "a carrot" in life, this is a goal or objective to pursue. It entertains us, we are happy life, and makes us forget our dramatic life someday come to an end. In a word it helps me to have happy moments. My big dilemma resepecto, is the elevation or kick I'll have to gauge whether these meager weight. Well that is the question? I also pity the poor terminaición view with weapons today. I'm in love with the classic weapons, you will understand. I like the veterans who are good, haha
I would very much your opinions and advice, which I appreciate a lot and help me happiness I speak and you know dear friends foristas understand and share the same passion.
A fraternal embrace, from Montevideo, Uruguay,
Ale Pera.

This good but not excellent. The best we had this revolver, caliber .357 Magnum was a Classic Form 10-base.
Later, I bought three revolvers, all Colt's. A Detective Special, art, NIB (as plastic bag) a Police Positive Special, 4 inch 2 nd. Generation, manufactured in 1958, in 95% condition with original carton with the original warranty papers etc. Originally purchased by the previous owner in a house of many world famous story of Montevideo, "Boqua & Sholberg" subsidiary of the parent company in Belgium, said store closed its doors a few decades ago, but for people who already painted a few gray, these latititudes, they know the prestige of the store in importing and selling variety of quality products and other weapons that were not quality but that the marking with logo factory a sun. At a time when Uruguay, was very prosperous country and came to some very fine pieces.
The Special Police Positive revolver Colt's, has a perfect fit, in his pieces, almost no use, I threw in the polygon with and 25 meters, able to group 10 and 9 with an 8 lost.
And the third is a revolver Colt's Snuby 2-inch Cobra model, second generation, manufactured in 1960, caliber 32 S & W Long. In excellent conditions of preservation in 95%. with some very small scratches and some small picadurita inside the pipe. The funny thing to me is that this revolversito, hits too, for what this is doing 10 and a nine to 25 meters, and days spent in the field had a bird 25 meters walking on grass, you point and I threw but confess that I thought hit him, I hit him in the head, 25 meters! I'm a shooter lot, do not compete and do not throw every week if I have good technique I teach my child's father, it is all merit of the weapon.
Transport is very nice, because weight is only 15 ounces or 430 grams.
But I do not feel supported with the caliber, however, use refills, which helps.
This led me to Detective Special, .38 Spl. which could groupings they approached what could the Cobra 32 but a better caliber, however, ammunition entering my country 38 Spl. but they serve to throw their burdens are maginales and Stoping Power is meager to stop an attacker, especially in a 2-inch pipe. Then I experimented with loads + p but alone a few explosions, although it is assumed that Detective Special, 3rd generation, are suitable for loads + p moderately, the gun began to show some signs of signs of premature deterioration as a very light involvement by the way, in the light between the pipe and tabor, which generated serious doubts I use loads + p in this revolver. Besides this weighed just over 21 ounces, this is 600 grams, the weight was too much to be carried in your pocket and if it was very comfortable to port with a holster belt clip-on, for it had plenty of better options and sold .
On the other hand, the positive Colt's Special spout 4 inches, 2 generation is much better finished and factory set the Detective Special, and despite having used sparingly + p charges accusing him no indication or no signs of deterioration any. Therefore I keep still. It is the same size, dimensions and weight as the Detective Special, except that it has 2 inches in the pipe. Does not make big difference, and being 4 inches, I feel supported, Stoping have enough power, stopping power, to an attacker.
In my experience, then, the 2 nd. Colt's generations are excellent. I can not say the same for the third or last, who also had a white plastic piezita (silicone), under the button factory opening drum to compensate for lack of fit and easy sliding piece; and you had to get the quality to compete in the market, and old Armeros of Colt's Masters were gone, who knows who arming revolvers.

So I wonder what it traded under $ but not only do not feel voices to praise and recognize the Colt's Police Positive Special, as parts of excellence, perhaps because there are many indeed, and it depreciates in value to collectors, it is a serial revolver one hundred thousand were made I think over a million, but adjusted by hand, Masters Armeros. However, interestingly, if I heard voices praising the Detective Special, when it comes to the same gun with a 2-inch pipe, it has no other difference.
Well, following my adventure, the pursuit of excellence. After years, I have to give him the reason my dear Dad. There is no doubt that Smith & Wesson are better. Everything depends to a weapon is made to be used with care rigor but to enjoy it, not just for her. In some gringo forum once read this statement: "The Colt's revolvers are to admire and Smith & Wesson are for use", you may have a lot of reason in this.

Some have, and excellent steels are more portable, have less material, a close drum solo, all this has its advantage but do not support the harsh treatment that supports a Smith & Wesson. Other design tip the balance for Smith & Wesson like to bring down the drum, you have to use both hands, one to press the release button and the other to push the drum.

However, a final thought, there is no perfect machines, some have a adolescen other virtues and defects or limitations. This one which is which and I think this is subjective and varies with the tastes and fashions and ages and stages of each.
In terms of other weapons such as pistols caliber 22. Lr.
I think I reached my perfection and is a gun Browgnig. Factory Nationale of War Armes Belgium. Challenger model with interchangeable pipes 4 and 6 inches, all forged and machined steel, made in the 60s, with walnut grips with fine checkering, adjustable sights, a piece that will fabricate my dad looks point substantially improves . Gold-plated trigger. And most importantly, besides the infinite emotional value for me since my mother chose with my dad when I was a very young child. Is this gun with thousands of rounds over, NEVER jam, which is unsurpassed in a semiautomatic .22 LR. Well as you know that caliber is prone to jamming and is now an accepted fact and forgiven in a semi-automatic weapon of that caliber. Furthermore, as you would expect it has a precision of excellence 10-25 meters. Besides having to pressure the adjustable trigger.
Regarding Semi-automatic pistols in caliber defense after having many guns, including 220 Sig Sauer, very portable and aligns nicely repeated in rapid sequence shot, but I was not so precise and strong as they say, sold. The Beretta 92 bs. Excellent gun war, too big for civilian use. Bereta 84 gun BB gun with excellent performance of combat pistol, it can and very comfortable size and low weight to be cover for civil use, suffers from my point of view, the Calibre 380, or short 9mm (9x17) no I feel supported. By the way it has a capacity of excellent fire that compensates the lack of stopping power ammunition, but in my country, you can only use solid ammunition, no other options at their disposal, the American brothers and perhaps would change my position and terminal ballistic stopping power of 380 ACP caliber. Also in my country you can use the 9mm Parabellum caliber. So I sold it.
Supe have a Glock 42 to be carried in your pocket, this gun when the new purchase package, had two glitches that surprised given me the prestige of the brand: it was deemed, discovered that the problem was asperosidad surface slide or ammunition notch leading to the bedroom, so that a fine work, mirror polishing 100% reliable slide solved. The other problem is that the lever locks the car when left open after the last shot as he tried to lower it was tough, I had to contend with both hands, that I saw in all instances, it was not my failed gun, was so model, after some use, the problem was solved alone. But if a woman bought it hoping to use it as it comes, would cause serious problems to activate the locking lever of the carriage. Sure sure, with hundreds of shooting both probably only problem would be solved without any intervention. Perhaps in larger sizes to 380 ACP where the recoil spring is stronger enter the ammunition to the bedroom of the pipe without problem. But persisted two flaws for my use, I repeat to me, maybe for others it is not, as though one was that the Fast Action system Glock demand if or when using cartridge belts or holster, appropriate, otherwise carry it with bullet bedroom on the loose in a pocket it becomes dangerous. So I did bring me especially because there was a sale on my country, Holster "De Santis Gunhide" Super Fly model, which is made with modern materials, plastics for use in space, which adhere to the fabric of the garment. The other flaw is the caliber, again, I was not backed by the 380 ACP and did not always have an opportunity to use my new holster and had to carry it without bullet in the chamber so I sold it. After my experience, I believe that the Glock pistols are excellent, but not perfect as its slogan says. And those little problems I mentioned the easily solved, if in the production of Masters exist Glock Gunsmiths old school, this is utopia. Precisely the genius of glock is the production of excellence, replacing skilled labor and quality materials by robotics and space alloys. By the way, this makes you lose a lot of the "spirit" lovers of weapons are used. But I guess, to the extent that you start using, you get to good clusters, do not fail, you start to get a link and discover the true spirit of having a Glock with you, trust your life on it and feel safe.
The question, come back to buy a Glock, the answer undoubtedly for my fiabliadad its prestige and quality is intact, but not the model 42 in 380 ACP, just buy 9 mm Pb. Probably the model 19.
So, I feel I have reached perfection on central fire guns, with my CZ P01 Shadow. 1.5 inch groups at 25 meters with 115 g ammunition. 25 meters, and is so easy to shoot. Moreover it never gets stuck, it's all steel which ensures a long service without losing accuracy, which does not happen with the Beretta, which spend it for war or defensive use, after hundreds of shots, if you lose a little of precicisón and passes to group 25 meters, 1 ½ inch to group 4 or 5 inches makes no difference. To my demand and uses itself. The only limitation that has my CZ is weight 1.180 gr. by the way, when you shoot is a pleasure, you can double trap or shot very fast and almost no elevation, far from exaggerating, it seems that almost shoot a gun 22 lr. You can hunt with it, like you're holding a gun shooting 22 lr. I Cazé a hare over 60 meters, I was sitting with my CZ Shadow, and I'm a shooter heap.
My pursuit of perfection, is now oriented in a weapon that is very portable, ie it must weigh no more than 15 ounces, be reliable, be 9mm or 38 caliber SPL + p + or 357 Magnum. Well, I have not fallen in love with any yet. But always, as I used to say my dad must have "a carrot" in life, this is a goal or objective to pursue. It entertains us, we are happy life, and makes us forget our dramatic life someday come to an end. In a word it helps me to have happy moments. My big dilemma resepecto, is the elevation or kick I'll have to gauge whether these meager weight. Well that is the question? I also pity the poor terminaición view with weapons today. I'm in love with the classic weapons, you will understand. I like the veterans who are good, haha
I would very much your opinions and advice, which I appreciate a lot and help me happiness I speak and you know dear friends foristas understand and share the same passion.
A fraternal embrace, from Montevideo, Uruguay,
Ale Pera.
