And now...a brand new reply for an almost brand new gun!
I have read a lot about the .32 H&R magnum round. I decided to buy a snub chambered for it as I was on my "1911 search". I did not want to buy a new S&W. (Although, BigG you were right. The Scandium and the Airlight Ti models were tempting!) However, having to get up in the mornings and look at myself in the mirror... reluctantly, I passed on the excellent S&W's.
I felt my chances of finding a used Airweight Ti in .32 magnum were nonexistant. However, sometimes luck changes! In an above post, I mentioned that my gun shop owner called and sounded happy. (How could he be happy when I was facing all this "Taurus misery"??) I went out to his shop and to my utter amazement, he had an Airlight Ti chambered for .32 mag. At first I thought it was brand new. He knows how I feel about the boycott, so I was a little surprised he would call me to come in and look at a "new" Airlight Ti. It turns out that he has another customer who believes REVOLVERS are ABSOLUTELY the ONLY way to go
and, having no problems with the S&W boycott, he had purchased a new Airlight Ti in .32 mag for his wife. (Who happened to be a new CCW holder.) Here comes the problem. His wife wanted a Sig 232! ("Just TRY the Smith, Honey"!) Well, she shot it THREE times! Not three cylinders, THREE cartridges! She put it down and stated that she wanted the Sig auto, and that was that! NO DISCUSSION!!! Angerly, the guy had traded this nearly new Airlight in on the Sig she had wanted in the first place! The owner just put it in the safe for me! Talk about luck and timing! Christmas is looking WAY UP now for THIS very happy guy! I didn't have to put any money in S&W's bank account and I STILL got an almost new pistol!
Ta DAA!! And now you know the REST of the story!
