First, thanks to all who provided valuable advice on what to buy. I knew I could count on you guys to set things straight.
The choices were a new gun, a reloader, or accessories. Logic dictated a reloader, but if I listened to logic, I wouldn't spend an hour or more on TFL every day or so reading about guns, writing about guns, dreaming about...., well, you get the idea. Anyway, my newest possession is a S&W 638 Airweight (yes, it was new, but it was the last one the dealer had or will ever have - he ordered and paid for it before they sold out to the socialists and was more adamant than I was about their treachery). To get it, I had to trade in a S&W Sigma 380. No love lost on that one - what a piece of junk, even though I never had a misfire, just inaccurate as all get-out past five yds.
This new gun is sweet - I feel like we were made for each other. Beautiful lines, light weight, and with the punch of a +P .38s to boot. Took it to the range same day and enjoyed our first time together. Definitely a diference between the regular .38s and the +Ps!
Now the real dilemma begins. What do I carry on a regular basis - my G23 with night sights, or the 638 (both loaded with Hydraskoks). Any advice?
