Hey all,
Looking for input on the first gun I ever bought myself. Got it from an online estate auction and ended up sinking over $600 into it by the time auction and transfer fees were paid. It didn't come with a box or papers or anything else. Just the gun itself.
So my question is the following: I'm not big on the after-market porting. While the gun is a dream to shoot, it just isn't very practical outside the gun range. I called S&W and they quoted me around $225 to replace the barrel, including the parts and service (does this sound right?).
Anyways, I'd like a more versatile gun. It would be nice to not have the porting for SD reasons, and also nice to be able to carry it if I wanted.
So what do you think? Vote above, explain below.
Oh and here she is:
