[QUOTE="J.P., post: 696827, member: 6"] [U][COLOR="red"]lol[/COLOR][/U] While there are [I]some[/I] of his articles that I do disagree with...or maybe I should say: "some [I]points[/I] in some of his articles"...they are [I]very[/I] few and I can't even name one right off the top of my head. Those you've posted here are [I]excellent[/I] articles with some very good info and valuable advice. I've read those many times and I actually do find myself referencing them from time to time.;) I'm a wheelgun freak myself and I really love everything about revolvers, particularly snubbies, but I simply find more comfort in a high-capacity .40 caliber Glock as a [I]primary[/I] weapon. Maybe I'll eventually come around to being comfortable with a six-shooter as a primary weapon, but right now they are relegated to either backup duty or as a primary when "packing light", like when exercising for example. While I prefer the K-frame (Model 19) in 2.5", and I've carried one on-and-off for a while, more recently I've been using a M36 for backup. I have a feeling though that the M19 snub is going to make it's way back into the food chain after I settle on a holster I like, as suitable concealment holsters for K-frame snubs ain't exactly easy to come by.... At one time I had a rather nice collection of snubs with main focus on the big-bores. I had 2ea M657s and M629s all in 3" one of each w/ a fluted cylinder and one of each with an unfluted cylinder. As well, I had several 2.5" K frames, including 3 M19s (2 blued, 1 nickel), a M64 factory DAO snub,2 M60s (2" & 3"),M65(s) and a couple of M36s......maybe a couple of others I also had the occasional non-S&W like the Charters....I bought a used Bulldog Pug in excellent condition last year on the cheap, but I only put a box thru' it before trading it off. The Charters are obviously nowhere near the quality of the S&Ws but they can be solid workable guns. I've never put a ton of rounds through one to test durability tho'. I've been wanting to grab another Bulldog Pug in all it's [B]fo-fo[/B] glory because it was a great lightweight piece to take running, and that big hole just looks awesome!:) However, there are other snubby "wants" that may supercede that including maybe a .327 if I ever find one I like. Hell, I'm still sick to my g/d guts over the M19-7 PC K-comp Dad sold out from under me.:puke: After first seeing and handling it I lusted after the focker and decided I had to have it no matter what. I made him agree to give me dibs on it when he decided to ditch it, but unfortunately he wound up trading it off without telling me. IIRC, his excuse was something like: "[I]Well, I had to have a lot more out of it than I felt comfortable charging you[/I]"....or some ridiculous BS like that. :rolleyes2 ....and at the time I think he got somewhere in the neighborhood of $550-$600 for it!(which included the papers and Aluminum S&W PC case) Ha! I don't think he had more than four bills [U]in[/U] the damn thing! Have you guys [I]priced[/I] one of those lately? :faint: Yeah....I [U]still[/U] have not let him live that one down, and doubt I will until I finally grab one for myself.:grumble: Well, I'm starting to see more .327mag [I]ammo[/I] available in the shops so hopefully it'll start making a better appearence before too long. It's a caliber that has piqued my interest and something that I would like to spend some time experimenting with some day.....an extra round in a j-frame is never a bad thing.;) [/QUOTE]
