You're fortunate. I've made several purchases from them in the last couple of years, service was pretty slow. But, speedy service wasn't critical to me. I'm just glad this fine product line is still available.

I, too, am skeptical that in the event that there is a home invasion I'd have time to "suit up". That said, I think having BA, if one can afford it, is a prudent investment. I can readily envision a time when crime rates and general lawlessness may far exceed what we have now. Should that...

Sooner rather than later the "economic stimulus" will generate very high rates of inflation. Then the price of everything will go up. Under such circumstances comparing prices becomes something of an academic exercise.

I'm glad everything worked out so well. Though according to some folks it is a miracle you were able to stop/kill the GS with a "mere" 9mm. :rolleyes:

No. But I am sick of people who can't manage a google search and then whine about the poor results.

The only negative is if you have to maneuver in really tight quarters. :) Not something I would worry about.

Dressing as a commando wannabe doesn't appeal to me. Nevertheless, people aren't obligated to dress so as to not make me feel "uncomfy".

. I'm from Massachusetts and I'd see them as fighting words if they were directed at me. ;) But, calling someone a liar from behind a screen name is a low risk endeavor.

It's not just criminals I want to avoid but police also. I live in a jurisdiction hostile to firearms so I don't have anything on my vehicles identifying me as a firearms owner.

If you want a serious answer you'll need to pose a coherent question.

I have an XS Big Dot tritium front sight on a SP101 (2", DAO). I like it as I can acquire a sight picture quickly. Though with a Big Dot you give something up in sight picture refinement. But, with a snubby I don't care about that very much.

There is such a thing as a Performance Center 625 with the Michulek style grips, 4"bbl, gold bead front sight. It say "Performance Center" on the bbl. One of 'em is sitting on my desk as I type this. It is a very nice gun. If you get one I suspect you'll like it just fine.

I much prefer hammerless for pocket carry and even for appendix carry. I'm not fond of shrouded hammers. When I owned one it always seemed to be a collection point for all manner of pocket lint. I never could figure how it got there since I always pocket carry in a holster. YMMV. Only if...

Mine has a Big Dot sight. Action work by Grant Cunningham who also smoothed up the edges. I like the factory grips well enough to have kept them.

I don't normally CC a 4" bbl revolver. Nevertheless, I note that my S&W 629-2 weighs in at 42.5 oz loaded whereas my S&W 686-1 2.5" bbl weighs 38 oz. Not too much weight difference. Shooting .44 spl in the 629-2 is quite pleasant.
