I normally just shoot 38 specials because for me, I like Snubbies and short barrel revolvers. Too many 70s detective shows growing up I guess. And if I really want some power, I step up the the 44 or 41 mags.
With that said, lighten up Francis, cause I just bought two 357 mags. LOL Haven’t seen a non Taurus of CA 357 in the stores in forever, well over two years now. Well, walked into my LGS and they had just gotten in a Kimber DASA K6 2” in 357 mag. I have only seen them in 38 Special, and I would have bought it too! So was a no brainer couple of not used pistols and cash for it. Expensive, but worth it. Regretted trading off mine due to it being too pretty to carry. But that was the DAO version. I have some FO sights and Hogue grips on order. Also ordered some Combat grips that they sell for the DASA version. Will see which one ends up on it.
And while I was filling out paperwork for the Kimber, I saw a Ruger GP100 in the case. It also was just put out and it was a 4” 7 shot. Tight lock up, well finished, and solid. This one must have slipped thru the gorillas hands that Ruger has assembling their firearms these days, cause it’s nice. Sure it will blow apart after four rounds of 38 WCs, but……all together now….Ruger will make it right! Anyways, it’s in layaway. Last one of these I saw was a 6” along time ago. Love the changeable FO front sight. Already have a white out blade for the back. Will have to order some grip inserts from Chigg’s for it.
Here is the mandatory picture of the K6, with a wonderful IWB holster I got somewhere for $35. When I get the grips here next week, will post more.
