In your shoes, I would be all over the Model 27.

only reason against it would be if it's the house gun, it may be a bit large for your wife to use. It's a good solid revolver, but it's big.

Loosecannon, The response I got from Sid Cleveland at Ithaca Gun when I asked about a 1970's vintage DSPS I had purchased a few years ago - "Yes, this gun was built with disconnect as the transition was made in 1975-76. It was offered after that only as an option to law enforcement agencies."

Not all Ithaca 37's have this function. In the mid-1970's it became an option for law enforcement purchases, but the standard versions got a disconnect. LAPD, for example, got their 37's with the disconnect at that time.

AFAIK, DSA is working on securing a US supplier of metric wood furniture for the future.

If you don't mind the synthetic pistol grip, I like the Israeli wood furniture.

I think the ramp makes the barrel look shorter. It's a standard 1 7/8" snub nosed length pistol. The knife is Graham Brothers Razel. Really handy knife.

Virgil Tripp did all the work. Thanks.

S&W M15's are a blast. This one is a house gun. The finish was trashed and full of scratches. The front sight hacked up. The original owner also bobbed the hammer. I had it hard chromed and had a fiber optic blade put up front. Loaded with some .38spl FBI loads, it's what I reach...

I've owned both and loved my CZ, but the BHP fits me better. Both top notch pistols. The CZ is certainly a best buy at the price it sells for. BHP's were finally well priced when FN marketed them a few years ago. Now we're back to higher Browning prices with spotty availability. :(

My Don Williams 9mm HiPower. The fit and feel in the hand, decent mag capacity, good accuracy, conceals well, and my wife is willing and able to shoot it well.

They are apparently out now, but Outdoor Marksmen sells Miwall 200gr LRN for about $16/50 with new brass. They now have an East Coast warehouse in addition to their original West Coast location. Decent range ammo. Loaded a bit on the light side.

You're almost making me rethink my choice of using a .38spl SP101 and a Model 15 as our house guns. Almost. Oh! OK. I'm over it. :) The house guns are also used by my wife. She hates .357. She shoots very well with the two snubbies listed above. Shoot what you practice with. I don't...

Get a CZ75 with a .22 Kadet kit. You can dry fire the 9mm top end with snap caps to your hearts content, practice and gain proficiency with the same lower with the .22 top end, and go back to 9mm when you want to. And you get restrike capability. :)

I also live in California and watch the used racks constantly for deals. Haven't bought a shotgun in a while, but still keep my eyes open because I always have friends looking. A clean used Wingmaster is an easy $250 pick up. As for California prices, I travel for work in Arizona and Nevada...
