Sick! That's awesome!

I'm thinking about getting a Kindle, any chance the sequel is going to be available on that? I guess I can get the e-reader version and upload it to the kindle, but it would be sweet to be able to buy it on there. About a chapter or two from finishing MHI, devoured it in about a week and a...

Just ordered the first one! Cool to see the author is on here!

Totally hearsay, but I've heard mention they're full alloy frames, as opposed to poly over alloy for the 38s, or something like that. Worth googling. Threads I've read elsewhere had interest on the aspect of an LCR that's less polymer and more metal. Still mainly for 38 use. EDIT: Didn't...

LGS has a used 6" for $399.00, Lancaster Co, Pa.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is contract guard force?

Wikipedia is by no means comprehensive, but the result of this could be submitted here. From a layman's view, I would see these as training or otherwise specialty weapons. 1988 was two years before the M9 was adopted, so the official mindset had to be in the auto direction. Interested in any...

LCR was what I was leaning towards to start. Any recommendations on LCR vs SP101 for OWB carry and a first revolver. I keep hearing the LCR trigger is sweet, but to me it seems the opposite of the sp101, in that the 101 is proven and over-engineered, and heavy and the LCR is light and new...

Excellent feedback, I should revise this to take into account 38s. Mainly I'm looking for something to learn DAO on that I could also carry comfortably.

Hrm, I guess I'd have to be OK with bobbed then. As long as there's nothing to snag, and not the "humpback" design of some Smiths I've seen.

Like I said, I've been steered away from J frames for a first DAO. Not a whole lot of description why, however. If anyone has any stories about starting out on a J or an SP101 that would make me a whole heck of a lot more comfortable going down that road. If I do go the J frame route I think...

OK, major fail. Unless I'm mistaken, the GP100 doesn't offer a DAO model, and I can't seem to find a DAO K frame. This may either more difficult than I thought, or the SP101 is my only option...but that can't be... Help!

New thread in revolver forum: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=530460

Greetings all! After a ton of very helpful responses to my thread in the general forum, I've decided to go with a DAO 357 revolver for my first revolver and first carry piece. I'm coming from a Taurus PT92 and haven't fired a revolver yet. I plan to remedy this shortly, and to try out a bunch...

OK, enough of the bargain shopping. Time to start a new thread on the revolver forum for this. Thanks again for all the help, and I'll link to that thread once I post it up in case anyone wants to follow this over there.

ehh, probably not on that lawman, I think I was looking at pictures of a trooper. I like my revolvers a bit chunkier-looking than that. They do have a 6" Dan Wesson 715 for $229, which is coincidentally the same price as my 92 I picked up at the same shop...fate? That looks like a killer deal...

DAO Revolver What exactly would I be looking for in a good starter DAO revolver? Perhaps this should turn into a new thread, but in the interest of getting the opinions of everyone that's been helping me out so far. I thought an SP101 would be a decent start since it's a bit larger and...

Oh, and as for using the gun I have now, I'm not 100% on it's reliability, not that I won't be able to prove it before I get my permit, but I'm always going to be a bit iffy on it. A early 90s 92 is probably the most reliable Taurus you can find, and this seems like a good one, but I'll always...

Summary Thanks again for all the replies, guys! (ha, I rhymed) Been off the grid for the past day or so, seeing my brother off for his move to SLC. Great gun laws out there, or so I've read ;) SO, here's where I stand right now. J frame: Best option for carry, but hard to learn to...

And renting all of these is definitely on my to-do list. I have a checklist of guns I feel are essential to shoot and handle to get a good grip on my options. Gun's I've fired: Glock 19 Taurus 609 Taurus PT92 Sig P229 Guns I've handled: EDIT: Glock 26 Glock 36 Glock 39 Ruger P95 Ruger LCP...
