    (I need to buy a junky 4" Model 64 or 65 po-po trade-in gun for this sort of thing. I hate scrubbing guns after only 10 rounds, but I also hate coonfingering a pretty blued piece with sweaty hands at the range when it's hot and humid out and then putting it away dirty. I'd use my usual, slightly scruffy .38-44 Heavy Duty, but it's got a 5" tube.)
    If you weren't so darn far away I'd donate my 4" 67 for educational purposes.

    I have a 4 inch Tauresson 82 that you can have.

    Have your people call my people, and let me know what manner of solid you need done in return.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    That's the load to go to if you want your snubby turned into a five shot .380

    In .38 Sp, I would eschew the 90 gr FTX "Lite" and stick with the 110 gr FTX if shooting Hornady ammo

    I just saw the pic of the 200gr .44 SPL FTX in clothed gel. I'm too depressed to talk right now.

    A Fed friend long ago let me shoot the "Treasury Load" from his 4" Model 19, which he said was indeed the then-favored weapon platform among the Federal "revolver cognoscenti".

    I'm sticking with Remington (or Buffalo Bore) 158gr+P LSWCHP in 2" snubs, though.

    This seems like an appropriate time to link to the 19 in question.

    I got unreasonably excited about the quoted prices until I looked at the date of the post...
