    Colt Cobra & the Broad Side of a Barn

    Am I the only one out there who cannot hit the broad side of a barn with a Colt Cobra 38 Special. Well it is not really that bad (nothing outside of the 8 ring), but I am not near as accurate as with my other pistols. Granted the shorter barrel makes a difference. It has a pretty good kick...

    Taurus 817 - 7 shot

    Does anyone have experience with the Taurus 817, the 7 shot 38 special? I am wondering about recoil, fit and finish, reliability, accuracy and general impressions. Would you buy it again knowing what you know? Thanks for the help.

    Looking for a snubbie with 6 shots and 2 inch barrel. Had my eyes on a Colt Detective Special, S&W Model 10 or the Taurus 817. Any comments? Have not heard much about the Taurus 817, but it looks interesting with 7 rounds, does anyone have experience with the 817? Thanks for the input.

    For Home Defense

    I have a Ruger Speed Six 2 3/4 inch barrel .357 mag for home defense. I have read that the .38 does not have the stopping power and the .357 is too loud in HD situation and maybe too powerful. What is everyone using if they have a revolver for HD? Thanks for the responses.
