I'm always amazed what good feedback I get in this forum. We are truly a cut above.
Well, based on the amount of Airweight 38 snubbies S&W offers, I think they must be doing QUITE well on revolvers. ;-)
Respectfully, I'm not sure I agree with you here. Granted, autos are doing very well, but things have a way of coming back into fashion. Many people realize the advantages (and disadvantages) of revolvers, and they choose a revolver in the end.
I respectfully disagree. 38 Spl is nowhere NEAR as dead as 44 Spl. Just go shopping for ammo and that will tell the story. (especially in brick & mortar stores, you'll be lucky to find two factory loadings of 44 Spl. 38 will be much more healthy.
No, but close. I want an 36, with a bobbed or enclosed hammer.
GOSH that's a handsome little gun!
Woo, that is a BEAUTY! Was that a stealth gloat? :-D
I cannot argue with this. It makes too much sense. Especially as a handloader who will shoot everything but carry ammo in 357 cases.
As an engineer, I would rather not carry a longer and heavier gun than necessary. I'd rather have the shorter cylinder of the 38.
Massad Ayoob is my Gun Guy Idol. I've been reading his columns since I was a kid, much too young to own a gun. He make so much sense, all the time. He's so polished and reasonable, all the time. I wish he was running the NRA.
To anyone who thinks he won't get shafted for using handloads in a defense situation, please watch this video in its entirety:
