LOL. Perfect!

I will let you know if it ever happens. I have a 2.75” Speed Six .357 that I have had since 1981 or 82. I shot it a LOT the first 10 or so years until we switched over to issued autos. I still shoot it very regularly. I have no idea how many rounds I have fired through it, or one of my sons...

Incoming prayer sir.

I still have and occasionally use an old F4s. If it ever dies I will use it as a boat anchor. It is heavy enough.

Welcome from a fellow Whosure.

I am LE, soon to be retired. I started out with revolvers and carried either a 1911 or a 3” K frame Smith 65 Or a 2.75” Ruger Speed Six off duty. Then to autos on and off duty, and through a progression of those. Today, I still occasionally carry a revolver off duty. One of those 2 old...

What a shame. Henry finally makes a mistake…. A big one I think. When I heard they might release a revolver I assumed it would be SAA-ish for certain. I never would have guessed it would be a double action revolver, especially one this ugly. Double action would be just fine… but MAN is it...

Incoming prayers for your whole family, but especially “the girls”.

Last summer I picked up a Cimarron "Rooster" in LC. So far I have been very impressed with it. We have shot it at least 300-400 rounds so far. Hit at POA, pretty accurate with better ammo, and not bad with the lesser expensive cowboy loads. I hesitated based on a couple of pizza shooters I...

About 15 minutes after I decided I wanted another one. I just saw an OLD ARMY fixed, 5.5” sell for over $1800 on GB. I am struggling not to sell mine. Prices are crazy anymore. I am happy I am on the selling side of things I have picked up over the last 40 years. Hard times for people new...

Bull fries, turkey fries, rattlesnake, bear steak, bear paw, squid, squirrel brains. But far and away the most horrible thing I ever ingested was my second wife’s meatloaf. Even the dog refused it.

Prayers incoming sir….

Thanks folks. I am still undecided. I agree that it will not lose it’s value, but am also considering the fact that there are others who would get more enjoyment out of it than I will as my only reason for owning it is to educate the kiddo’s a little while I can. I can do that with an Italian...

Govt length Nighthawk, followed closely by a Wilson CQB Compact, then my old 4506 Smith.

My first duty backup and off duty carry was my 2 3/4” SS Speed Six. In those days I had to cut costs wherever I could, so it put a permanent dent in my right hip from being carried Mexican style and depending on rubber grips to keep it in place ABOVE my belt. Even after switching to autos it...
