I am also looking for a pistol for my wife. We are going to the store today to look at a .327 mag for her. I am thinking very strongly about a GP100 for her. We are going to look at one and see how it fits her hand. I am going the revovler route because she cannot operate the slide on my autos.

Thanks Mike, I am planning on some serious range time when I get the pistol. I am fairly comfortable shooting a pistol now; I have a Ruger p89, and a xdm c in .40. I will be shooting the first shot in single action, and hopefully will not need a second shot. I expect to be comfortable at 50...

Thanks Mike, what would you consider an effective range for the .357 when deer hunting? I figure no more than 50 yards? What is your opinion?

I just put a Ruger GP100 .357 six inch barrel on lay-a-way. I am looking forward to getting it and shooting it. My plan right now is to use it for deer hunting next year.

Matt, Unfortunately the answer is; you might. When you get into a live fire situation and the adrealin is pumping through your veins, your accuracy can go out the door. Another thing to consider is the bad guy will not remain stationary for you to shoot him. He / she will be moving and bobbing...

Let us know how you like it when you go out to the range.

I have a Belgium made 1956 year Browning light 12 gauage. Is anyone familar with this gun, and if so can you shoot 2 3/4 shells in it? I am thinking you cannot, but I am not sure. Thanks.

Will the 10 rd sr9 magazine fit a p89?

There is a good article in the American Handgunner about Ruger's SR9C by Pat Cascio. He seemed to really like the gun, and said it refused to fail; of course what else would you expect from a Ruger.

giving these considerations: * A nine is better than a rock * A Nine is better than nothing * A nine has less recoll so you can get your second shot off faster. So yes I trust my nine, and least until I can afford a .40 :lol:

Yes those were boxes of 100, however the last time I bought them they were under $20.00 I wonder if Obama will come out with a government ammo subsidy plan for us if the prices keep going up like this:)

I found some winchester whitebox the other day at walmart. Unfortunately it is $24.00 a box so I only bought two.

Sounds like to me that too much guns is not the problem. The problem is not enough time to go out and shoot.:)

You can use the blackhawk for cowboy shoots. However it must be in a cal. that was available in 1899 or eariler. For example you can use the blackhawk .38 cal for cowboy shoots, but if you have the second cylinder that will allow you to shoot 9mm in your blackhawk, you cannot use that wheel or...

If the Ruger starts to get lonesome I am sure there are folks here on the forum would be happy to take it to the range for a nice workout.:)
