    Ruger New Model 3" SP 101 in .327 Federal Magnum

    I plan to get one as my .32 cartridge disposal device. :)

    Picked up another S&W revolver

    I have regretted selling every Victory model I have owned. Now that I am retired I hope to find one for less than a mortgage payment. You done good.

    327 Fed Mag

    I too lust for a .327 now as a platform for a variety of .32 ammo I have in the house. Gotta get'em all!

    Poll- Clint or Elmer

    Elmer made it happen. Clint made it popular.

    What is this revolver?

    Rossi is owned by Taurus if I remember correctly. Unless I simply wanted a spare truck gun for cheap I would pass. As mentioned previously the description seems to give the correct model number.

    What is the best revolver & caliber for long range targets?

    Any decent revolver is adequate for long range shooting and the best one is the one you shoot best. I can regularly ring full size IPSC steel with a "J" frame shooting at 100 yards. On those rare occasions where I have access to longer ranges and revolvers my 6 inch .357 and .44 magnums work...

    Wouldn't 5 be enough?

    As a retired cop with over forty years experience as a full time and part time officer, I have decided that my circumstances are best served by carrying a hand gun on my person daily. As a shooting enthusiast I engage in a variety of shooting sports at my local gun clubs. I am a member of two...

    Middle age guys and Holsters

    S&W 638 in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. At 60 years old and 290 lbs on a 5'10" frame the "J" fits my EDC needs well. An old hiking pouch with a shoulder strap easily carries my GLOCK 22 concealed in plain view. An option for the second gun with more and bigger bullets. This system is...

    CCW - Professional dress

    My all day every day handgun is a Smith and Wesson model 638 in a DeSantis pocket holster. It is well hidden and easily accessible in all clothing options. The humpback style makes it great for a fast presentation if necessary. Light in weight and loaded with 158 grain lead SWC hollow points...

    Why i prefer cross draw.

    I have lately been using a full size GLOCK in a pouch as a secondary carry gun. My Smith and Wesson 638 in my strong side pocket is the EDC/Always gun. The Glock17/22 is carried in the pouch strong side with a shoulder strap across from the left shoulder. When in the car however the pouch is...

    Anyone here shoot IDPA or ICORE with a snubby?

    Every IDPA match I shoot has my pistol, when holstered, with the barrel pointing down and to the rear breaking the 180. Most of the forward rake holsters I see on the line do as well. A picky point but true nonetheless. I shoot revolvers in ICORE and IDPA. I have shot 2", 2.5", 3", 3.5" as...

    Is .327 Federal Mag Still Viable?

    I do not see it happening. It is a ".32". Logic about the true ballistics of the round with its many benefits cannot get by the majority of gun owners who see a ".32". It is a revolver round...revolvers to most people are simply archaic. I disagree with that opinion but it is the majority...

    Ruger LCR 9mm review

    I plan to get one since I like the idea of my backup pocket revolver shooting the same ammo as my belt 9mm. I had some bad experiences with the S&W 940 and sold it off right quick. The "case sticking" gremlin had a'hold of that little revolver a might fierce! :) This Ruger version might be...

    Is .327 Federal Mag Still Viable?

    I simply did not see any need for the cartridge in my collection. As such I have no doubt it not viable for me. Seems a lot of people agree with me. I think it will be more of a niche cartridge such as the .41 Magnum.

    Which .38 Snub

    Another opinion... I have owned samples of all the listed brands but not the LCR individually and prefer the S&W J frames. I prefer the Model 38 or 638 over all the J frames due to the hump back feature that makes it easier to pull from a pocket. The 642 is also slick to remove from a...

    S&W 438/638 Bodyguard

    I had a flat latch Model 38 I carried as my EDC for many years. Replaced it with a 638-2. I wanted the stainless finish and +P capability. It still gets pocket duty when I pack my Model 19 Combat Magnum as primary but most days it has been supplanted by a Kahr PM9.

    Best load for 2" barreled .38special

    I can not say what is "best" but I use the Remington +P 125 grain JHP in my small S&W J frames and the Colt Detective Special. Been very happy with them for target practice as well as the occasional match. They were very effective when I had a raccoon acting funny during midday on a woods...

    .38 s&w?

    My old Enfield was a fun gun to play with in .38 S&W. Mild and accurate if you can get past the DAO lockwork. I got my limited supply of ammo from the local gun shop and I miss her.

    Taurus Revolver Stigma

    Just adding to the noise here... I am a S&W snob. That said I personally had a bad experience with a Taurus 30 plus years ago. It was to me a cheap knockoff of my beloved S&W. While I have not purchased or owned one since I do have friends that swear by them and not at them. Several LE...

    baby Glock 26 vs S&W M&P subcompact 9

    For those that have issues with the + adapter all I can say is this. It works for me in some circumstances and enhances the ability of the pistol to be shot fast and accuratly. The + adapter does NOT add bulk to the rear grip section of a G26 The angle still allows for the G26 butt to be...
