I'm in the market for a Smith 357 in stainless with a 4" barrel. I've found local listings for a 66-2, a 686 no-dash, and a 686 SSR Pro (post-lock, of course). All are listed for about $900. For the money, which do you think would be the better choice? This is a gun that will be used for...

You don’t know. Could be his next door neighbor in an apartment with thin walls. :neener:

I didn't read all of the replies, but if it hasn't been said, PSA makes a Baby Browning clone in 25ACP. They aren't inexpensive but from what I've read are well made. I have a Bauer Baby Browning clone but those are no longer in production.

Well, it arrived and I'm really pleased. I have new grips that should be here next week. When I install them, I'll upload a picture. Not sure the picture will really do it justice, though.

I think it looks quite a lot like camo as well, but I like the color variation. I guess I'm the oddball here from the votes so far. I've also read that it looks better in person than the stock photos. Once I have mine in hand I'll post a follow-up and also upload some pics. I've ordered...

That's about what they were saying on several other forums. Guess I should throw more of my guns in a fire! :fire:;)

Turnbull is renown for their case color hardened finish (and other finishes and restorations as well). That said, I've seen a lot of hate on various forums for how it looks on a semi-auto like the Mark IV. I personally think it looks great (although it begs for upgraded grip panels) and have...

I don't hate mine, but I have guns that serve the same purpose that I much prefer over it.

In big pockets and with a holster that well protects the trigger! I actually don't pocket carry my G43. I find its easier to pocket the Ruger LC9S.

What do you mean? This is great news. We can stop trying to ban guns now, since clearly they aren't nearly as dangerous as believed.

Given that 9x18 is cheaper for you, I don't think you can go wrong with a Makarov (especially at that price). I used to own a number of them. I'm down to just my East German now, but it is a nicely designed and well made gun. Edit: I just read the discussion on the safety/one in the chamber...

My wife had one eject straight up and land behind the lens of her eyeglasses burning her eyelid! Good thing she blinked :-)

If the G42 grows on him, would it become a G43?

I'm not sure I can pick a favorite. My first gun was a Ruger P345 so, even though it isn't anything special, I really enjoy shooting it. I also love the feel and sound of the .45 ACP round. I have other .45s now, but the old Ruger is still a favorite. I also love my Sig Trailside because...

I really like the Pico for its modularity, true DAO trigger and adjustable / replaceable sites. I think it is probably the most pocketable of all of them on your list as well. It really is amazingly thin. That said, I'm not sure it would win the "fun" award. Although the extended mag that...
