I’ve spent the last few weeks looking at big S & W revolvers on the ‘net, reading all the posts here and at TFL, looking at Auctionarms and Gunbroker, trying to decide which caliber I want. I don’t want a 44 magnum, just out of pure contrariness, but a nice 629 mountain gun might just change my mind. I really like the 625, preferably in the 3 or 4-inch flavors, and the 624 is nice, too. The 610 doesn’t really jump out at me, but the 657 might. I’m looking for a larger bore than .356, so the 627, 27, and 28 are out. I want something a bit more modern than a 1917, although someday… I’m not limiting myself to stainless, although it looks that way from the models I’ve listed. Right now, though, a 45 acp 625 with a 3 inch barrel is leading the pack.
I even went and started digging through all the old gun magazines that I used to subscribe to. Reading an article about the 44 spl., and in walks the wife. Y’all would have been proud of me. When she asked what I was up to, I told her. She just laughed, looked at what I was reading, and said, “I wouldn’t mind a 44 special.†Stainless or Blued? “Doesn’t matter, just make sure it’s pretty!†Uh, barrel length? “4 inch – those long barrels just don’t look right.â€
Now, wait just a goldurned minute, here. This is MY gun we’re talking about! What you have to understand is, her guns are HER guns. I get to reload for them, and I might get to shoot them occasionally, but that’s it.
So now I’m looking for TWO revolvers, his and hers. Oh, well, it’s better than spending it on booze and other women!
