I already have checked out Altamont! I have a set of their grips on my snubbie and I love them. They were the first place I looked. Thanks for the tip though.

Thanks a ton for the responses guys! Yes, it is indeed a .44 Mag and I should have mentioned that fact. I hadn't considered that it could be a Bisley and I'm glad I asked for some help. It's also interesting that this is an uncommon variant of the Blackhawk with fluted cylinders. I read the...

My father-in-law (awesome guy) just gave me a few of his old guns and there was a Ruger Super Blackhawk in the box. It has a 7.5 inch barrel and the serial number dates it to 1986. I wanted to get a new set of grips for this revolver, but I got really confused when I searched for them. It...

KR, Well said.

I guy I work with has one of these, but he highly recommends the Marshmallow Blaster over the Shooter. (LINK). They also come in camo for us Southerners. :D IIRC, his son is about seven and loves it. I think their dog does most of the cleanup!

Vector - Well done sir! You just made a lucid and reasonable argument. I obviously don't agree with you, but that is completely beside the point. We have used this forum to debate a topic. My basic take is this: If it's legal, go ahead and carry. Your basic take is: In this case, the stakes...

Look, I understand that I'm sounding argumentative. My real desire is to understand the idea that carrying to the GRE is any different than CCW anywhere else. What better place to have that debate than here?

No Rolex here. How about an Omega?

I deleted my rant earlier, but I just can't take it any more. I cannot believe what I'm reading here. The original poster clearly stated that it is LEGAL to carry at the test site and that the test is given at "a really sketchy feeling place and a lot of crime goes on there." A whopping 10...

EDIT: Nevermind, the test is over. I hope you did well and enjoy graduate school. I did!

The guys at Gemini Custom (LINK) can both eliminate the end shake and bead blast your Ruger for you. Plus, they can do a whole bunch of other awesome stuff. I almost bought an SP101 just so I could have those guys do their treatment.

Smith 640 that will be my new EDC once HBE gets my leather finished. Should be here soon!

Hey Perch - When I took the GRE, nobody searched me or asked me to empty my pockets. They damn sure didn't ask me to lift my shirt! I seriously wouldn't worry about it if it is LEGAL to carry there. My exam was off campus BTW. Good luck in graduate school, and here's my advice for anyone...

I'll buy it, but I have a comment. We need more than one Monster Hunter book per year. Seriously. Also, the next novel needs WAY more of Owen's dad in it. The "kitchen gun" scene was hilarious.

I carry FTX .357 loads in my snubbie. Ironically, the polymer is there to increase expansion since velocity is lost with the short barrel. I really believe most gun laws are written by people that don't know anything about guns.

Hornady 125gr FTX Personal Defense

Some Winchester brass I use has what seems like a rim that is too thick. They won't fit my Pro1000 or the holder on the single stage either. BTW, I'm not talking about damaged brass. I just toss them (gasp). I have never had that problem with any other brand.

I like Hornady 125 grain FTX in .357 out of my 640. I pretty much like everything Hornady makes. The felt recoil is obviously higher using .357 ammo, but I figure the stopping power is greater also.

If you buy one, I'd put all new springs in it as a precaution just in case it's seen a lot of rounds. Springs are cheap and can actually wear out from high round count (been there). In addition to the other brands mentioned, Springfield service was very good the one time I needed them.

I have a better idea. Why don't I just invite you down (it's not that far) and we can shoot some of yours and some of mine? Ghitch75 bought a ton of brass from me too and he also lives up there somewhere. Maybe we should invite him and you guys could carpool (just thinking green). That way...
