Well guys, thanks for the help with the revolver picking on the other thread, I went to the gun store well armed (bad pun, i know) with what was good for what I was looking for. I plan to carry this, but I will be using a Sholder holster as I HATE IWB.
I looked over what they had, good range of stuff....
They had a nice selection of revolvers, and I had a fair amount of fun looking over some.
There was a nice colt with orignal grips, but I decided that I would be too tempted to make it a safe queen, and I was not in a market for a safe queen....
I ended up taking looks at these guns
From Ruger
SP101
GP100
Service 6
a Dan Wesson
And From S&W
Model 10
Model 15-5
Model 30
and others
The Dan Wesson revolver was nice, but I knew they had stop making revolvers completly, and I decided that I wanted to stick with more of name brand (Ruger, Colt, and S&W) as this will be a carry gun, (most likely a sholder holster)
The SP101 they had where the Snub nosed, and I wanted a little more then a snub nose, and they had just sold there .327 mag, so off to the other guns.
The Service Six was a nice gun, so it was noted to "come back to" gun.
The GP100 had a trigger job, so it was a NICE gun, big yes, but NICE. and not a bad price... So it was a "come back to" gun.
In the Smith and Wessen the model 10's where nice, and not bad priced, but they where well used, mostly holster wear but you could tell that they had been fired a good bit. Well loved and in good shape, so I kept looking.
The model 15-5 was nice, VG to excellent shape, (ALMOST NIB shape, one of those guns that never was in a holster and shot six times) original handle/stock bluing is very good on it, good function, nice trigger. Very impressive little gun, (didn't see if it had USAF or other markings)
so it was in the "Come back to" list"
the model 30 I liked a lot, started to smile, then I saw what they wanted for it
Even the clerk was like "Wow, thats high" (and this is from a store noted for having a higher sticker price then most) (before someone askes, it was about over $850! IIRC
)
So, I was looking at the GP100, the Security six, and the Model 15. the GP100 was really nice, and it did have a REALLY nice trigger to it, but it too big for carry, so it was put behind the counter.
So it was the Speed six and Model 15, both basicly the same price, and after some messing I figured I like the Model 15 better for my needs.
I did not have my state paperwork (NC requires a handgun purchase permit, which is very easy to get in my county), and I also need to wait till payday if I don't want to eat Ramen for the rest of the month; So I put $100 to it and put it on layaway.
$435 + tax plus fees = 500 out the door.
Now, is the model 15-5 just .38 speical, or can I use .38 Sp. +p?
and what brand of speedloaders do you recommend for the model 15?
