As a LEO in Florida and from NY almost 28 years, I can tell you the Castle Doctrine may have merit down a long litigous expensive road, but I have seen people using firearms for self defense at home, cleared of all charges by the PD, and civilsued by an attorney for the family. Each bullet shot...

Tmann what he said tmann what he said more specific a 13-3

Thanks for the response, Have the S&W book at home, just have'nt gotten there yet, ( at work). The 13-3 is a 3 inch. I hope the 629- 3 inch I didnt get gets a happy owner. My current service/duty gun is a Glock 23 and off duty Glock 27 which I absolutely love. Always carried a Smith model 10...

Hey, just found a 13-3 3inch like new. I had a 629-1 3 inch on lay-a-way at same shop but that was $850 and I was having a hard time justifying it. Not really into revolvers but wanted just one nice example. Today when I went to pick it up they just put a 13-3 in display case. The gun looks new...

To anyone reading my above post . I was just trying to have a discussion that might have been interesting compared to the "which gun is best?" threads. What bothers me about RC's reply is simply, imagine you came up to me in my patrol car and asked directions for lets say Miami Beach. If I...

The reason I brought this up was I was fingerprinting an individual applying for her CCW in Florida. She informed me she was going to purchase a revolver because her friend advised her revolvers had hundreds of less moving parts than a semi-pistol. I think a revolver for her is probably a great...

Just wondering if anybody knows how many moving parts there are on a revolver. I imagine Ruger, Smith, Taurus,;) Dan Wesson, etc etc all have varying amounts of different parts and springs. So for the thread's sake, Does anybody knoe how many moving parts there are on a Smith 642. Which parts...

46 years old and just sold off my last two revolvers yesterday. Actually traded both for an even exchange of a new Glock 27. I traded a Smith model 66 2. 1/5 stainless snubby like new and a nickel 36 with custom wood stocks. I never carried them anymore (too heavy for me personally) and don't...

I have been a cop now almost 27 years. In NYC (20 plus in upper Manhattan) and here in Florida 5 plus, anyway I have never had to take my firearm out of the holster. Common sense and tactics, (waiting, backing away, cover, whatever). I have seen stupid people, including cops I was with, draw...
