Bears! A bit ago....20 years! Hand loader Magazine ran a series on Hand Guns for Bear SELF DEFENSE. Not bear hunting! An Alaskan guide highly recommended the 3” (or 4”) revolver in a light loaded .357, heavy 200gr WFN cast lead bullet @ 800+\- fps. (.38 could be loaded to same velocity) His...

Previous post of Simply Rugged holster. I have enjoyed Rob’s workmanship fro a long time. Good folk.

After many trials & trys... .40, .357, .38, .22lr. The .22 has won! 8 rounds, accurate first & follow up shots. 12½ oz. Good terminal ballistics for civilian self defense. (no, not police or military!) Reliable. Inexpensive & fun to practice! Carry ammo is CCI Fragmented 32 gr. 1085 FPS from...

Check with Starline Brass. May have rimed brass.

What is the caliber? .455 Webley I bet. Duh!

My understanding of firearms for self defense..... 1. Have a reliable gun. 2. Know how to use it ! S&W 43C. action smoothed & reduced power hammer & rebound springs. Best ammo. (CCI 32 gr segmented: Quik Shok) And fun !!

I got a NIB 43c ! very pleased. Action job & smooth stocks coming! The 317 is up for sale. No lock, Dymond Wood stocks, ramp & square rear. Rob Lahey’s Simply Rugged Holster.

Add to my last post: I am looking to buy the Centennial version of the 317......43c. If you see one, drop me a note. Many Thanks

Me too!

I carry a .22 as primary self defense weapon. A S&W 317 2”. I did an action smoothing using Wolff main & rebound springs sized for the 317 rim fire. Much better & NO misfires! I also have a 3”, ramp @ no lock. My wife (also 73) loves hers & my life would be ‘difficult’ if I tried to trade it.
