I bought a used 4" half lug in a pawn shop today and it cleaned up real nice. DA trigger is heavy. SA is good. I believe that I will over-haul and post some pictures later.

I think it is a about time to buy a "fun" range revolver and I want it to be bigger than a .357. I won't be hunting griz, but it might go to the mountain cabin with me. I usually take my Model 19, 2 1/2" S&W to southern NM for protection. I could do either the 4.2 or 5.5 barrel lengths. I...

That .45 Colt sure is long. Doh

She tried both my S&W's- 19, 2 1/2" and my 10HB 4" but chose my CZ 75 D compact 9mm.

#1 SP101- 3.06 or GP100- 3"? I just want one 3" Ruger. It will not be used as a CCW but for HD and target. Pick your favorite. #2 I want a .44spcl and it looks like I need to get a Redhawk to do it. 4.2" or 5.5" Pick your favorite.

In my case, I started with an 12 ga 870 tactical. I shot it outdoors, fewer than 10 times and I am convinced that it would be a "rude greeter" if anyone got lost and mistakingly tried to kick in my door, thinking it was their garden home. I now have more than one revolver strateegerly placed...

I returned to the scene of the pawn and it is a 22LR. Good/Fair condition. It should clean up ok since it is stainless. I was hoping it would have been 9mm. :roll:

Saw a SP101 4" in a pawn shop today. They were too busy with the monday morning traffic to ask about the caliber. It looked to be in good+ condition but needed a good cleaning. They are trying to get $379. It looks quite different than the 3.2. Are these rare?

I am also trying to decide between the 4.2" and the 3".

I forgot to mention that we are getting close to "60" and I would say we are non-enthusiasts. Our son is a ruger fan and he has the SP101 in the 3". I think she would have no trouble with the recoil. That would let me buy a GP100 4" to shoot. I doubt that I will do the CCW, but you never...

I am looking for ideas for a home defense revolver for the wife. I have a SW 19 2 1/2" 357 and a SW 10HB 4" 38spcl+P. She has small hands and I want her to be able to enjoy practice. My thougths are a 38 spcl in: SP101 J-Frame S&W Colt Det spcl Let her use my S&W 10 so I can buy another gun...
