It's weird. New York, New Jersey and Maryland all surround Pennsylvania, and are some of the most farged up, restrictive states in the union. Pennsylvania sits like an oasis in the middle of the left-wing loon desert of those states. I reload, so I can't say I feel your pain. I feel bad for you...

I'm partial to the notion S&W to 357 magnum is like Colt to 1911's. Everything in 357mag that isn't a S&W is a "clone". :D

I'm a S&W man, myself(revolvers anyway). Not a fan of newer ones, though..IL and all. I've seen several recommendations for the 65, 66, 19 and such..good choices all. Owned a 686, nice gun, but was also a newer one w/o the IL, but had frame-mounted firing pin=didn't like and gave light primer...

I have owned/own J, K, L and N-frame S&Ws. I guess you could say I have above avg-sized hands. Holding a Glock 21 is no problem for me like others seem to post, and holding an N-frame S&W is not either. That said, a K-frame is perhaps the best feeling/balanced revolver I've ever carried. That bs...

Daggum, Oro. That gun in beautiful.

This model 27 has been posted a cpl times, so sorry for the repeat, but the OP talks about the old finishs' "deeper" blue, and my 27 has it at about 90%. I have tossed the idea around of having it reblued, but only if it were to come close to what the original "fall into" blue looks like. I...

I had a blued 4" model 94, wood grips..must be an older version. Gave light primer strikes in DA and SA, but mostly DA. Cylinder release button was always jiggly, could never tighten. When it did fire, I found it to be pretty accurate to 20 yrds or so, I never tried further. For around $250 +/-...

I've used gunbroker and auctionarms quite a bit over the last three years, with only 4 or so that were problematic. One of them is currently stealing bullets to make up for what he loses on the auction. I saw a feedback where he blamed the post office, same as he is doing with me now. Didn't...

I prefer Hogue monogrips on my Ruger security six, but whatever feels best for you.

Why do you, virg, feel compelled to troll an argument here? Do you think you elevate others perception of you by portraying yourself as some righteous poster? I didn't "start" anything, sport. I posted 2 friggin' months ago and the OP brought me back to it with a PM, so get off your high horse...

?:confused: Do you get that assessment from the facts I pointed out above, or is this just a broad-stroke pre-conceived notion?

1. Except bring much higher resale/less depreciation at selling time(yes, some of us don't keep every gun we buy for life), Accuracy: I've never shot a taurus that was worth it's weight in sheep-dung compared to S&Ws, customer service: do we even have say anything about taurus cust serv? or...

Classic! I love that line! THAT is the best one retorts on THR. As for: First off, no sane person with any taste would put Taurus grips(the only ones with that kind of freakish grips on market) on a S&W. As for your project, my father would say something like "it's still lipstick on a...

S&W model 27 5" all the way! Call me biased, but I just loooooove the model 27!:cool:

Huh? Glock's make excellent 45's, I don't think I or you know what you are talking about.:confused: This is my second G21 and both have been flawless with HPs, LSWCs..anything, in addition to double the capacity of 1911's.:rolleyes:
