S&W Model 1955 Target Model .45 ACP, S&W Model 38 .38 Special, and Beretta Jetfire .25 ACP.
Just had a great experience with FrankB , buy or sell with confidence!
Uh oh. Well it’s too late now, I guess I’ll report back once I shoot it.
I can confirm that the 2” 856 fits great in a Mika pocket holster for a LCR.
I've got a 2" 856 UL and it shoots and works fine, kind of like a modern day but more affordable Model 12. It isn't fun to shoot, except maybe with standard velocity 110 Critical Defense, but my...
I can't afford it but I just put one on layaway with Buds, Grab a Gun also has some.
I only carry a single reload anyhow when I carry a revolver AiWB so I figure I can carry a moonclip in the...
It depends. I put gun plus speed strip which is true for a .38 J Frame in pocket but I might have a Comp I instead. If I’m carrying my 351C it’s just 7 in the gun. If I’m carrying a .38 J Frame AIWB...
While I can’t reveal my source I have heard that there are ten times as many orders as there are revolvers in the initial run. You have to wonder how many are being bought as investments as opposed...
I could swear there is a film out there where Bubba Smith carried a Beretta 92 in an ankle holster.
Or at least put them on the bottom of the barrel.
Ah, I though both the Piettas and Ubertis did now, my mistake.
With the crappy hammer safety on new Italian revolvers I’d be willing to give it a look.
But it is listed as having the same width, 1.41, as all the other Taurus small frame revolvers as opposed to the J frame width of 1.3. Smith lists K frames as 1.45.
The 856 can use model 10 speedloaders or D frame speedloaders. The wider cylinder is why it is being compared to D frames.
Edit to add I don’t think Taurus makes any J frame size guns anymore, I...
Yes, if I’m carrying traditional double action with a decocker I decock everything I come off target. That said my current Beretta is a D model so it isn’t an issue.
It really depends what blocks you sign up for. I used a 649 and a GP100 and was happy to have the better sights for
Bruce Cartwright‘s block where we shot the FBI bullseye course.
I was tempted but remembered I have a Model 60 Pro 3” so I was able to resist.
It isn’t a problem drawing from AIWB while seat belted in with the right technique, well unless you have a zipped up outer coat on.
Taking a page out of Taurus’ book I see.
I still have a hard time thinking if you pop into a store there won’t be more 45 on the shelf than 10mm, Alaska may be the exception.
I won’t go searching for the next few days in that case, I hope you win it!
That’s fair and I don’t disagree with you. If it wasn’t heresy I’d turn my 1955 into a Jovino clone. Carry it with a full moonclip and use speedloaders with 45 AR for the reloads.
If stuck with an autoloader as my only handgun I’d go with a Glock 26 or possibly a HK45C LEM.
So just to play devils advocate for a second would you not consider a 9mm revolver with wadcutters?
I agree, it is not a good plan but with work and family and Elite Shooting Sports in Manassas closed it is a realistic plan for me. Of course it also includes lots of dry fire.
