New toy - just in time for hunting!

Nice!

I am picking up a new piece on Saturday...





8 rounds of .357? Shiiiiiiit...

Wow. What are those going for these days?

[Supero100]

I'll find out on Saturday!

My co-worker owns a tactical firearms training company. I think I'll get a decent price on it, probably +/- $800.

Expensive, yeah...

It has a big brother too




S&W 327 2"   and   S&W 327 TRR8

Wow.

I've read that one of the decisions to design the railed-revolver was for riot police (or other users) who had one hand occupied (such as with the shield) and would otherwise be unable to clear a jam in a semi-automatic, so a revolver was desired. Don't know if that's the actual reason, or somebody just said "I just want one". Interesting notion either way.

I agree! Totally a shield gun. 110% awesome and unnecessary. It will be my first revolver. I want 8 shots at a minimum.

Down the road, I think I'll put CT grips on the 2" and see if I can extend the effective range with it.

lol yeah the hunting part was kind of a joke, except as a mild deterrent for all the bear in the area while grouse/squirrel hunting.

I noticed the walmart pistol ammo shelf was pretty bare so they may have been out of the WWB


One of the middle schools in town (out of 2) used to be the high school. It was built with a shooting range in the basement. You know, back before the liberals decided any sort of firearm is dangerous and no training is better than proper trainin
(FWIW I'm a political moderate so don't hate on that statement!)
Anyway, the police used to use it for indoor practice during the winter (their new station being built houses an indoor range) but the middle school still has open shooting. Last I heard it was any handgun, and .22 rifle but had to be all lead.
As far as I'm concerned, firearms training should be at least optional in schools.
