We went to the High Caliber Gun Show down in Houston today, and a S&W 66-3 followed me home Pre-lock, with lovely wood grips that we traded out (we kept them, but won't put them on the gun) in lieu of rubber grips that enable us to hold it better. Pristine condition, nice trigger. We got it for $450 with the extra grips.
I am hoping that tomorrow is warm enough and dry enough to go over to Carter's and take it out to play. I'll shoot mostly .38's out of it, but Archerandshooter now has a nice .357 to use in the woods as a backup.
I've been wanting a nice .357 for awhile to round out the revolver collection, and this one looks like a keeper.
I wanted to get a little 4" Ruger New Bearcat that I saw there too. Given that I've developed a bit of a flinch with my .44 mag (can't IMAGINE why... ) I think one of those might be a nice antidote for range practice. But the dealer (different bunch) wouldn't unhook it from the security cables to let me even LOOK at it. So he lost the sale. I still want one, but I'll be checking Bud's and Gun Broker.
I really need to behave myself or my husband's not going to let me go along next time
