I just saw "No Country for Old Men" on the movie channel this week-end. A pretty good movie with a crazy character that went around killing others in his search for $2M worth of drug money. He was using a pretty strange silenced rifle. I could never really get a good look at it, but am...
Guys - please don't continue to discuss my choice of words in the description. This note was not meant to be racist or stereotype or whatever. I just described what I saw. If I were more cognizant as I was driving away, I would have gotten the license plate and make and model.
I don't...
Thanks for the replies and thoughts about my experience. It really does get you thinking about life and just how short things can really be.... in a split second. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. I am truly thankful to have made it out of there safely.
I did not pump any...
Avoidance was first and foremost on my mind.
Carrying at work is just not an option, but carrying in the car to and from work might be an option from this point forward. I normally carry regularly, but it is not an everyday occurrence. My carrying habits are changing from this point forward...
I was driving to work this morning. I realized that I needed some gas, so I pulled into the gas station that I normally frequent that happens to be across the street from where I work. It was a Valero gas station and I pulled into the last pump. Sharing the pump on the other side of me was a...
I know that all of this will pass... and I am rationing. I am just discouraged about the situation. It is like my addiction to coca-cola... I have to have a coke each day. Supplies start to dry up and I am being told that I can't find coke now. I start going crazy because I can't have today...
I just did a quick search on the Internet at some of my usually buying spots for ammo.... it is ALL out of stock for most of the common calibers. Nothing! I knew that it was getting bad, but this is getting really bad. I did find some 45acp for $50 a box as well... geesh! I am glad that I...
A sawed off shotgun is very appealing to most of us, but I would not want to get caught with something that does not have a tax stamp, if it is not legal. I am just trying to make sure that I understand the law.... "a barrel length less than 18 in. or 46 cm and an overall length less than 26...
don't panic...
Probably most of the places are letting their stock run low or even run out. They don't want to go and buy new ammo to stock their shelves just yet, because the prices just have to come down. Metals are down right now. When was the last time that you turned in your unused...
I have a Maverick 88 made by Mossberg 12 ga with an 18.5" barrel. The barrel has a bead sight on the end.
I have been toying with the idea of buying a new Mossberg tactical shotgun with rifle sights on it already. I was looking at one just yesterday and it looked very nice. However, I was...
I am hooked!
I just had to have a S&W 44 Mag as well.... Finally got one. A 29-3 with 6 inch barrel in blue. The gun looks almost new! When I saw it in my local gun shop, it just had to come with me.
Everyone needs a big bore revolver!
I was just reviewing a list dis-allowed guns in California. Wow! I am glad that I don't live there. That would suck!
Good luck with whatever you can do in your search for a good revolver.
my 28-2
The 28 is a nice solid N frame. Yes, it is heavy or heavier than some of the other 357's out there. But, nothing really compares to the 28. It is a very great shooter. I could not be happier with my 28-2 Highway Patrolman....
I picked my 28-2 up for a very reasonable price. I...
That registered magnum is very nice!
Please give me some history on your revolver, if you care to share. How long have you owned it? Where did you get it?
I am truly fascinated with the S&W revolvers. I have always been like this I was a kid and I shot my dad's 44 magnum. Great stuff!
And the story continues...
I was in my local gun shop today and I saw this little beauty in the case. It just had to come home with me.
28-2 Highway Patrolman with 4 inch barrel. My new 27-2 has a friend!:D
Another addition
I was not planning on adding anything to my collection of wheel guns for a while after the 27-2. However, I was in my local gun shop this morning and I found this. I could not leave without it. The gun is in great shape. Shows sign of holster wear.
28-2 Highway Patrolman...
dwf6666: Thanks for the comments about the grips. I do like them. What would those grips be worth? They are original to the gun. Also, this is an "S" prefix gun.
What do you think the value should be for this extremely nice revolver? I do like it!!! :D
I could not be any happier right now. Thanks for the comments.
Now, I need to add some more rare S&W revolvers to my collection. Maybe a model 19 or even a 29.... oh the choices. But, that will be a while before that happens. Need to save up more money. :D
Well....
I now have one. A really nice find. And just picked it up today!!!
New and unfired. 27-2 with 3-1/2" Pinned barrel and recessed cylinder.
What do you think?
In my hands finally.
I hope that this picture posting thing works.
Here is my Holy Grail...
New and unfired. S&W 27-2. With 3-1/2" Pinned barrel and recessed cylinder. What do you guys think?
