Just for Tam....gun porn.

I've found that it's a self curing problem. If you keep giving in to that temptation within another decade or so you will be definitely cured of it. Of course you might find yourself thinking that 9mm service rounds hurt to shoot by then.

I am at the point where shooting 9mm is fine.......loading mags on the other hand is total torture. On a positive note....I have gone on a mass buying spree of .38/.357 revolvers and am shooting more .38 spl. these days than anything else.

I like the big bores. Been a fan of them for a long time but my body no longer likes them. My 329's went to others because my hands could not take the punishment. My body no longer wants the weight of the big bores. I have moved to the 35 bore. When I was younger I would tuff it out. The body has a way of letting you know when it's running out of tuff. I also have been gathering 35 bore revolvers. Snubbies preferred.

I use a mag loader these days precisely because of the torture aspect. I used to think that mag loaders were one of the most unnecessary devices ever invented, but then I learned different.

Those 38's/357's ought to prove to be a very good investment, though, and shooting 38's in a heavy steel revolver almost makes old hands feel a lot younger.

That visit was simply an epic experience of viewing great old S&Ws, great old books and a great lunch, too. And I love .45 ACP in my 625 Mountain Gun. It works great, shoots very tight groups and kills deer like the Hammer of Thor. In fact it's going to kill deer this weekend, Lord willin', but it sure doesn't have the class of those beautiful HDs!

It will unless little Ashlynn says her "Dear God, please don't let Uncle Wayne see a deer" prayer.......

OK, next time I go to this LGS I'll check on the caliber. They actually have two, both with the silly gold "Thunder Ranch" logo. I would have sworn they're .44 spl. They're used, ANIB, on consignment. I have watched them for more than a year. There used to be a M57 remake too.

If they have the gold logo, then they almost certainly ARE the .44Spl guns. As far as I know the blued steel .45ACP TR square butt guns never had the gold inlay. They were both quite serviceable guns IMO.

I had one of the .45's. The bluing was poorly done, it wouldn't group worth a darn, and I think the charge holes were oversized. I loved the idea of the gun but had to sell it.

I don't know why I keep coming back to the S&W well; I've had to return 50% of their guns to the factory for service. Maybe it's because I've also had to return 45% of all the other brands of guns I've ever bought to the factory and just figured it was me.

I like my 21TR.

That stinks. My copy was nicely built and finished -- I sorta wish I still had it. The 21TR I owned was a good revolver too. I've since stopped shooting big-bore revolvers and all the ones I own are .38/.357.
