Well, I've been thinking of getting one of the SW1911SC's for a carry gun. Decided to wait and see if the rumors of the Defender-sized SW1911 were going to come true first.
My new acquisition will have to wait until it's in my hot lil hands. It's a beaut, tho'...

I don't that can be out done even with a couple weeks left in Feb.
Never, I repeat NEVER, under estimate the powers of Fred.
Forget Fred Thompson for President. I want our Fred on the ballot!!!
(Hmmm. Methinks a write-in may be in order...)

Sig P229 .40 S&W
My dealer had this on his wall, cost me $596 OTD. Night sights, 4 - 10-round mags, and Hogue grips along with the original Sig grips.

Bill, thanks. It's the third P229 I've owned and the second in my current battery. The 229 just seems to fit my hand very well and those Hogue grips are better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend that you try one, you won't be disappointed.
Very nice pick up, it looks mint. Guy probably traded it in for a 9MM
Ranger 4-7, thanks. The only reason that we know it's used is that a guy brought it to trade. These are really great pistols.

This last weekend I took my new S&W 340PD to the range for the first time. I had heard about these little monsters, but I have never feared recoil. I love big bore revolvers that go BANG! I hate the 340PD. It hurts to shoot it. I found rapid follow up shots all but impossible. I do not care how easy it is to carry, it is not for me. I like a steel frame gun. I immediately went back to my old battered S&W model 36.
So in the state of mind described above I happened to visit my local Collector's yesterday and made a find. It is a Colt Lawman Mk III .357 mag. made in 1971. There is slight holster wear on the barrel, but overall it is quite nice and very tight. Now THAT is a snubby!

MUST... CONTROL... RAGING... JEALOUSY...
SWEET Colt, Goose. Just damn!
Wish you'd mentioned you were thinking about a 340. I've got a 360 you could have shot beforehand to try it out. It's NOT for the faint-of-wrist, that's for certain.
Did you trade it or keep it? If you still have it, I've found that the Federal +P+ .38 Specials are pretty controllable and don't sacrifice a terribly large amount of stopping power. Just FYI...

My Turn:
I just got my new Brazos limited gun yesterday. This is the 3rd gun I have from him and have one other being built now. I love his work. Anyways, it's a short dust cover 2011 double stack with all the goodies. Has the lightened slide, fiber optic front sight, BoMar rears, Brazos magwell, stippled grips, hard chrome finish etc etc. The gun is so tight and shoots great. It's been a while since shooting a limited gun and I'm quite rusty. I'll get this puppy so use though.

So I finally got bitten by the Glock bug...picked up this nice 23 with 5 high-caps for a great deal, planning on being a new project gun.
Well it hasn't been transferd to me yet but I got this in a trade yesterday. Glock 22 work from Magna Port. Not much of a Glock guy, in fact this is my first one. I'll probably sell it.

Just picked this up from Carl today. S&W 340 M&P .357
I didn't have a time to shoot it much after the traffic on 495, 3, 128 and 2 turned a 1 hour ride into a 3 hour marathon, but I brought it down to No. Leominster briefly. With .38 +p it's a pussycat. With Speer Gold Dot defense ammo it's starting to wake up. And with some of my hand loads -- 158 grain JPS over 10.3 grains of Blue Dot (max load is 10.5), it was FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!
Can't wait to get to the range for a real session tomorrow.
