I picked up an SP101 .22 as a farm/utility gun. The sights were spot on from the factory on mine. I swapped the stock grips for a Hogue rubber monogrip before I shot it the first time and it made a big improvement in the feel of the little revolver. Congrats on the new gun. You choose a...

Deleted - Double Post

I started with double action revolvers, had a couple of single actions, have used semi autos for work purposes for the last 20+ years, and my woods guns are now all double action revolvers. My guns are all utility based and I have semi autos as my duty issued weapons and one personally owned...

I handled a blued short barrel (16.5"?) large loop .357 Miroku with fiber optic sights at a gun store in Wyoming once and almost cried when I had to put it back on the rack. If they made that exact model in stainless steel I would give a lot of $$$ to own it. Simply a sweet handling gun. I...

I used to have a Rossi/Puma 92 saddle ring 357 carbine that I stupidly sold many years ago. I am wanting to add a stainless steel 16" barrel .357 Rossi 92 to my collection. I plan to do Steve's mods to it when I pick it up. The 92 I had in the past ate anything I shoved through the loading...

I recently picked up two Smith and Wesson 629's. 1) Smith and Wesson Performance Center 629 Stealth Hunter 7.5" 2) Smith and Wesson 629 Classic 5" I previously owned a Smith and Wesson 29 Classic Hunter 6.5" and all three .44's are really nice weapons. I also own a few Ruger GP100 TALO...

I previously owned a S&W 29 Classic Hunter and I was very happy with it. I currently own two 629's. A 5" Classic and a Stealth Hunter. They are good guns.

I would love to see a 4" barrel Alaskan with the same barrel contour as the original 2.5". They made a 5" Toklat but it has the skinny round barrel of the longer SRH's. Not my cup of tea...

I forgot to mention that none of my handguns are scoped. When it comes to handguns I am an iron sights kinda guy. Thanks for bringing up this point.

Bullet selection is everything. For heavy boned big animals you need heavy for caliber, flat nosed hardcast lead traveling at a good rate of speed to ensure deep penetration. HP's need not apply for big critters. A 44 mag with a proper bullet will pass through a black bears head and come out...

I have owned Ruger single actions in the past and they are fine tools for a variety of outdoor tasks. I also own two Marlin 336 rifles in .30-30 so I am with you there as well. As a LEO my duty weapons are Glocks so I chose my revolvers utilized for potential defensive purposes in the double...

Nice collection.

Well she is pretty - that is for sure. Congrats on a fine revolver.

I have worked for quite a while completing my selection of revolvers for field use. I have other handguns for social work, but the below list is what I use when in the field. Each one serves a different purpose in the lineup (although they can overlap if needed). All of my field revolvers are...

Thanks for the welcome. Y'all got a good group of folks here.
