Tam, thanks once again for the 296 in .44 Special you pointed me to, to go along with my 696. Yes, it is a strange looking item, but it gets some great comments. And it's a lot easier to carry everyday than the 696 [which is about 38oz empty]. Good point on bullet weights. Had a S&W .45 revolver, shooting cheap reloads. I'd read the S&W booklet, which included your warning, so I never loaded more than 4 rounds [of 5] when shooting cheap ammo. One day the 4th round had "walked" 1/4 inch out of the case. Took it to a couple of gun shops I stop out and none of the staff had ever heard of this. Always, always read the book of instructions, no matter how much you think you know. OldeForce
Tamara:
ReplyDeleteVery informative indeed. Neat concept, and as I stated at the other place: Want.
Thanks for the write-up.
Hey, speaking of S&W, CDNN has model 65s on sale right now. 4" SS .357 for $279, hand select for $20 more.
ReplyDeleteOf course, me telling you this might be like telling $someone_famous about $something_obvious. (Sorry, I failed my analogy roll.)

Thanks, Tam! Glad to see the Sunday Smith back on schedule after the move.
