I'm a new member, enjoying the flow of info and the give and take of those writing opinions and replies. Now I have a specific question that's rather time sensitive.
My main auto malfunctioned at the range today leaving me without a pistol for the Pin/Steel matches we have every weekend. The factory will take a month to fix it. I live in Maryland so waiting periods and one gun per month slows down easily replacing the damaged piece on short notice. I'm leaning toward buying a revolver this time. Lots of choices but guns must be on the Md Hangun Roster. Rexio is.
I've found Rexio on the web. http://www.rexio.com. They list at $165. Specs shown, photos available. I've seen them offered as specials at Natchez Shooting. They are on page 49 of the March 12 Shotgun News as part of an ABN Sports bankruptcy sale through G-U Wholesale, website http://www.guwholesale.com.
I've seen offers for Rexio revolvers as low as $100 (about the price of a Makarov) in 22lr and 38spc, with/without target sights, with 3"/4"/6" barrels, wood/rubber grips, nice old fashioned specs. The photos look good. They seem to be of Brazilian manufacture like Taurus, Rossi, S&W designs. The prices are great for my limited budget but no price is low enough if the piece is poorly made.
I could stand to buy some well made but inexpensive revolvers for range use. Full price slows me down. I have a long list of pistols I would like to buy as money comes available but a cheapy would fit in rather easily.
I did a search on TFL and found a few old posts. Any new info anyone can supply would be most appreciated. I have more needs and wants than money.
Thanks, Herb
