I was out shooting with a friend the other day when he brings out the 43C. Other than reading about the Claude Werners of this world and a few other posts where folks talked about them being a option for people with limited hand strength I'd never really paid much attention to them. This thing was more fun than a little bit. I can't get over the sights on it, why can't S&W put that Big Dot on all their J Frames??? I enjoyed it so much I didn't even notice the trigger pull being stiffer than my 642. Maybe it's just the .22 that brings out the kid in me but I really enjoyed that revolver. I can't think of a single reason I "need" one but I sure would like one. I went on Gunbroker and it looks like they're making new ones. Maybe if it had that damn lock in the side I'd be able to fight this urge but they don't have the lock so there goes that excuse not to buy.
Hell bent on being intentionally anachronistic
