Yes, that looks good. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

I have to agree with Airborne above, for where I live and play, and for something my wife can also handle, I always come back to the 357/38 Lever. A 16” M92 in 44Special is a very close second. For...

:drinks:

Considering where I live & play, between those two choices, the 357Magnums. :)

And then I’d give my 45Colts to my wife. :)

I would REALLY miss the rest; and probably dedicate my life to...

The 357Magnum will do fine for where I live, work, and play these days. And each family member gets to keep one for themselves too, right? :D

Congrats on those XTR's. And it never hurts to get her something nice. ;)

Anyone know if Bob Milek's articles on this cartridge are still around? I seem to remember him explaining his thoughts and reasons behind this cartridge in the Contenders.

The 30WCF is a sweet...

I'm running a BarSto 357Sig barrel in a Gen3 G35, and my best groups are in the bullseye of a standard 25 yd slow fire target from a solid rest when I do my job. Comforting in a carry piece. I just...

The M19 is a sweet wheelgun. I jumped at the chance to buy a used stock 4" dash 3 some years back. It is one of my more accurate handguns. A snubby M66-2 came home to me a few years later.

Whichever one comes home with you, a good Lever in 45LC is a good thing to have.

Great thread. Congrats, and thanks as well. Using a seasoned Lever, with handcrafted rounds adds to the beauty of being out there.

A 2" J frame is pretty easy to conceal; this is its' strong point. But for most of us, the 4"ers are much easier to hit with.

If whatever needs shooting is cooperating with you and close enough,...

I can't help but remember similar disagreements about the 357Magnum & deer hunting.

Some folks absolutely believe the 357Magnum isn't enough, and I have to respect their experience. Then again,...

30 yards is a fine hunting distance for thin skinned deer type game. I'd want to check the load before the hunt, but that goes for any of my handloads.

With good penetration from the right angle,...

Those M92's are sweet. Congrats on that Lever.

I learned a lot, including the usefulness of a good M92. Prayers for a full recovery.

Food for thought: I run a BarSto 357Sig barrel in my G35 now, because the accuracy in my hands from a braced sitting position, is about half the size of the stock 40S&W barrel. Using Winchester &...

The difference between hand out and hand up is huge.
Working (especially single Mom's) parents absolutely need a hand up.

Problem that I see every single day is the social pressure for inner city...

I'm not Smoke, but we get ours from the chocolate cow pattys out in the field.

Yup. This about increasing the control they have, piece by piece. ALSO: notice how this keeps us from fighting other battles? Voter fraud has been forgotten. Fast and furious. Foreign...

Congrats on your 375. I passed on one back in the early '80s(?) when I misunderstood how nice they are. Wish I had bought it.

As I remember, Paco's wife had become pretty ill and he backed off from his activity on the forum. And someone else took over forum duties - I forget who. I'd check over there.

Bill,
Thanks for the info. I expect it has been quite a while since many of us saw any news about life behind the former Iron Curtain.

Sometimes a one man shop can offer true Old World...

:popcorn:

Today's list will be:
2" S&W M640
2 1/2" M66
3 1/2" S&W 357 Magnum
4" S&W M21 44 Special
5" Colt 1991 GM

And when the feds check forums like this one, they will, or already do, know who has guns. They can check every single thing we do on the internet - whatever we type or see on the screen is theirs....
