    After all the good reports, a jetfire’s testing, I tend to trust the .38 Taurus revolvers. If the TH series were to be as reliable and durable, then they would be a tempting option.

    How did the P229 in your agency hold up?

    I know you don’t like the DAK, but I do. Though my experience with it was mostly in the P226 platform. There are good condition DAK P229s out there.

    If you want TDA, then I think the P-07 makes a lot sense.

    There is a listing for used railess P229s in .40 that appear to be in great condition. Those are a bit tempting, but the P-07 still makes...

    Will these be “Series 80” like previous Sigs or “Series 70”?


    VCD and I both seem to be missing a price list, if one has even been listed.

    What is unique about the 6280LASD?


    Seems like the ALS might put the thumb in the right location to naturally take the safety off. Though I’ve heard the ALS doesn’t work as well with the 92.

    I’m the odd man out. For me, a hammer is a must have. Preferably spurless, but I’ll take a spur over no hammer.

    The feeling you get when you are reaching failure on heavy hi rep deadlifts is something rather unique.

    No lock revolvers with a hammer, good QC, and decent prices are a dream come true.

    Extra cash to enjoy my dreams would be nice too. Maybe the tractor won’t break this year!
