A New Gun For Xmas?

Post by dales »

I sure hope so.

I'm looking for a compact unit with plenty of "knock-down" power.

Any suggestions?

Springfield Sledgehammer...the .500 Smith & Wesson.

(Well, OK, maybe it's not at all compact.)

Because I can.

That is an awesome game-changing weapon on the battlefield.

Perhaps the biggest change since the rifled barrel. 8-)

My suggestion would be a model 60 .38 J frame stainless S&W. Works well with a snap shut holster that can be well concealed in the small of the back. Low maintaince good balance. If you want something a bit bigger go to the model 66 K frame .357.
I expect to go straight to hell...........at least I won't have to spend time making new friends.

If you go for the S&W make sure it's stainless. That is the most realible and also the best.

I admit I'm partial to their old milk-blue finish...that's what my Model 29 has.
