The most powerful and harmful influence Trump has had on our politics…has been the effect on his opponents. They have been triggered into an orgy of self-mutilation—eager to amputate their own history and disfigure their own political traditions.
Dammit, that’s what I meant to say. Ruined my own damn joke!“Mozambique” might be a better name for a Taurus retro P-35 reissue, because odds are it would only go 3 rounds before the user would have to stop and assess.

Noir Heater Reboot: Meet the Heritage Roscoe .38
The cigar-box-worthy Roscoe looks right out of the mid-20th century, clad in a deep glossy finish, classic-style round wood grips, fixed sights, and a five-shot cylinder. (Photos: Don Summers/Guns.com)

I think Tam's reasoning on steel J-frames is pretty compelling.

If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Agreed, and this is coming from a guy who *only* owns 5-shot steel J-frames (as collectables).
This new offering is a handsome look though. If the short versions are indeed up to the standard of my late-80s model 85 (one of the few Tauri with a good reputation), then there might actually be something of substance there.
I sure as shit wouldn’t buy a 3 inch gun as a shooter though, based on my experience. In all, a perfect gun for the “compression sock drawer crowd.”

I agree with this, in today's world there is no reason for a 3" revolver to not have a removable front and a decent rear sight, you aren't going to pocket carry the thing.Agreed, and this is coming from a guy who *only* owns 5-shot steel J-frames (as collectables).

Truth be told, I did buy a 3" Model 60-13 because it was priced very attractively. The proprietor of that LGS later tacitly admitted that he had screwed up.Agreed, and this is coming from a guy who *only* owns 5-shot steel J-frames (as collectables).

I had a Model 60 Pro 3" which was a nice revolver but ended up letting it go because it didn't fill a niche, too big for the pocket and hard to justify a five shot for a belt gun when I have other options. Plus it was the only S&W I had with a lock.
I frequently carry my 60-9 Ladysmith IWB - it’s more comfortable and lighter than a K there, and has less square bits than my G26.
Didn’t buy it to carry, though - bought it to have a J to shoot that wouldn’t beat me up like the airweights can.

Can I use that? I think you just coined a new phrase.
In the P-F basket of deplorables.
