THE carry revolver

You've probably just described the ideal cop gun.

Nope and 99% of other LEO's agree with me on that one. Glocks however are by far thre preferred service weapon. And 1911's are losing their dominance on sert teams. IT seems more and more agencies are simply using the issue service pistol for their sert teams. 1911 dominated in the revolver era simply because it was one of the few good choices. It still is a good choice. The last scoop of dirt have been placed on the service revolvers grave. And its heading the same direction in the CCW area.

Still like Glocks, but have yet to see a model 65 die in the holster from a broken trigger spring. Have seen it with a Glock though. Doesn't matter, anything mechanical can and will fail at some point.

I liked the Glocks (and have many post to prove it). However I've really been driven away from them totally by the nerdish rabid fans who try to turn any topic into a college bull session about the superiority of there little whiz bang pistols. Why Glock fans and Trekkies argueing about Picard or Kirk all night long while the rest of us had dates remind me so much of each other I'm not sure;)

Of course this is pointed at no one in particular, but would note to 355 that this is the "Revolver" section and I'm hoping our little area doesn't get wasted away by 6 gigabytes of you Tamara and JC going over the same silly points 600,000 times

A Glock with a broken trigger spring is not dead it can be brought back into the fight easily. And in fact if your a good shooter with proper trigger control and follow though you maight never even know you had a broken spring. At my firearms instructor training the instructor removed the trigger spring from one of our Glock 21's then demonstrated how to make the gun work. Simply hold the trigger to the rear perform a tap rack assess drill and then simply release the trigger to sear engagment and pull the trigger the gun will fire. We all tried it and so long as you had good trigger control the gun fired. THe only thing that would cause it to fail was slapping the trigger. I shot the glock with the broken spring with no malfunctions. If your a trigger slapper you will have troubles.

Since you asked... :)

I love my 357's, but I prefer my 41 magnums more.;)
Oddly enough, if you want a powerful auto, why settle for the 357sig? Which I do like, BTW.
Get a 10mm, betcha my 155's@1400, my 135's@1500 or the 200's@1200 will get your attention.:p

Anyway, I still wanna get that 681PC, but I had a Colt Agent adopt me, cute little thing was purring and rubbing against me, so I will have to wait on the 681PC.:(
 
Oh...forgot...10guy.
Here is my carry .41.

What glockorama said, I can't find a nice round butt, heavy barrell 3" M13/M65 in the Seattle region either, at least not when I have money on hand....

I want one. sigh.
 
Just to let everyone know that I don't hate revolvers. I just got my Smith 610 back after having a fiber optic front sight installed and a trigger job and its one hell of a nice pin gun now for the revolver events.

Found one over in White County today!

Walked in the gun shop to get a bore brush this afternoon & there it was! 3" model 65. I didn't own a 357, and 3" would just be the perfect fit between the 4" M10 & the 2" M15..:D

Put 100 rounds through her before dark, & I'm impressed! Shot right with my assistant's 6" Python at 25 yds, & action & trigger just as smooth & crisp. I'm impressed!

Now if I can just find that box of 357 brass I picked up this spring at the range up the road.....I knew I was saving it for a reason! ;)
 
Jeez, normally I do like shiny things, but that.............:barf:


Like Ice Cube says;"Pimpin' ain't easy but it's necessary......."
Guess I'll save my money for something a little more subtle. ;)
 
I wish I had a picture of my matched pair of S & W Model 66's. Three inch barrels. Case-hardened hammer and trigger. Red ramp. Smooth combat trigger. These were a special run for Lew Horton, and I would part with my wife first.

I have no idea why 1/2" of barrel makes so much difference, but it does. They balance perfectly. I have seen 3" 66's with stainless hammer and trigger, but don't know if that was a variation of the run or not.

I llike the 65's but never could pick up the fixed sights very well.
 
I have a S&W 65LS that I absolutely love (click the link to see what it looks like). The Ladysmith models are among the best looking guns out there, the LS grips are perfect for my hand, the LS guns also have lighter springs than the standard S&Ws giving the gun a better trigger and smoother action. The 3" K-frame is plenty big and heavy enough to be comfortable when shooting most .357 loads and yet it is small enough to be a great CCW gun. This is one of three guns I'd never get rid of for any reason (the others being my 6" S&W 586 and my 9mm CZ 75B).

I like this gun enough that I'd love to get another and one of the guns that I plan to eventually pick up is its blued brother, a 3" M13.
 
It all comes down to price, these are nice revolvers, but whenever I see them for sale it is at a silly price.

But the nice pictures will keep me looking.
