I like the look of it too! But I am leery of an aluminum-framed .357 for serious use. Likely one of those "carry a lot, shoot with .38" kind of deals... The Grizzly looks kind of cool as well, if a little spendy. Don't forget that real-world prices should start out around MSRP (or maybe...

Heck - the used rack is where it's at! I could be in and out of my usual LGS inside of 15 minutes most days... Congratulations!

There are more double-action offerings in .44 Special than you have for .45 Colt, and I suspect that will always be the case. You've already made a compelling case for NOT needing the .44 Special. Since you reload, at least it's a viable question. When you don't, it's much easier to tell...

Any thoughts on 3" turkey loads being pressed into a defensive role?

I remember these - seems like they were only offered very briefly. Mossberg 464. I wasn't in the market so I didn't look at them very hard, but of course there was no shortage of people saying what it wasn't (Marlin/Win). Consequently it didn't last long. I think, as others have alluded to...

Yeah those are fairly rare birds, so if you have any regret at all I'd say you messed up. It's not a horrible price considering you can't find a nice example in more common chamberings for much under $450 or so nowadays. Maybe $400 for rougher examples. Not the end of the world, and maybe...

Congratulations! This is pretty much the same thing I said with my last .22 rifle. It is an old Savage/Stevens 87B (part of their "gill gun" or "click-clack" family of rifles). I didn't grab it that day, but I went home and thought about how the Marlin 60 is dead, and you have to look high...

Snob shooters make it harder on all of us. I've been looked down upon for my choice of cheap targets - massively not fun. [/just joking here]

I feel that invasive and/or destructive pests are one thing. Shooting at animals that happen to be there (small birds, etc.) in the name of a reactive target is quite another. Also agree that plant life is valuable and to be respected. I don't go around breaking limbs and branches and...

Hey - maybe not a whole heck of a lot !! Got any more pedantic one-liners?

Nothing wrong with carrying a reload or more if you want. If things feel extra squirrely and the world seems super-scary, sometimes I'll carry that LCP along with. I think I can bring a ready-to-go micro .380 to bear at least as fast as I could reload most anything else. Fortunately 99% of...

Count me in the "nothing special; I use it if a little thin" camp. It is cheap and it comes in handy small sizes that are good for travel and shooting bags.

Glass, for reasons mentioned. It will be a problem for someone/something, if not you. On the rare occasions I do shoot glass, I usually nest it inside some kind of box or container. That way the glass shards get contained and easier to clean. You can still kind of "hear" a hit. I also don't...

It varies and I can't give you a specific "favorite" at this point. It was a lot easier when I just had one or two. Some days it's something as humble and simple as a broken-in Model 10.

I do want to say that if you want to subscribe to the "what's on the barrel" philosophy, it is a valid approach that you won't go wrong with. There isn't a manufacturer around nowadays that would tell you much otherwise. That being said, it is ignoring perfectly good information to not...

Would you take a thousand of my smiling faces for a free gun from the local Honey Hole™? 🤔 Here's one to start... :)

You really might as well get a finder's fee for all this.

What you do with your .357s is not the end-all and be-all of what you can shoot out of a .357. A body might like to know they can shoot .38 Special out of their .357 if they wanted to. You didn't know either until somebody told you. What doesn't really count for you as far .22 doesn't mean...

All shootouts occur at High Noon. Right in the center of town. With half the dusty town as witnesses...

Except if you do this - you miss out on .38 Special out of .357 Magnum. Or shorts out of a .22 revolver. Or some other well-known and actually useful exceptions (.32 caliber, etc). Which is why this always comes up, and rightfully so. IMHO, a sticky thread somewhere outlining the...
