LL's revolver quest, got a WC GP100

Any thoughts of rolling with a 22LR to start? The S&W 43C is a riot to shoot. The 317 would be a another lightweight option from Smith. The Ruger LCR and LCRX 3” in 22lr get high praise as well. Smaller, lighter and cheaper to feed. Hell, for the cost and weight penalty of the 627 you could roll a pair of LCR’s.

My everyday all day if I have pants on is a 43c in an AHolster. I can shoot 200 practice rounds without bleeding. And with 22, I do practice more. I just ordered more medical wrap to put on my thumb where the cylinder latch beats me up with 38 J-Frames. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If I think I might need more, I carry a G-19 in a belt holster.

BE86 is Power Pistol without all the flash. Power Pistol was designed for "Comp guns" and has a lot of flash and bang in 357. Enough flash and bang that when I fire it in my Kimber K6 3" at the range. I get attention from everyone on the line. The load that I am shooting is midrange from the Speer manual for Short Barrel loads for 135 grain bullets. Power Pistol in my experience, has a lot less flash in bigger cases. In my 44 Special I shoot a 240SWC with 8.0 Power pistol, standard primer and it runs 985fps out of my Ruger Bisley 4 5/8s producing 17K psi pressure. Super accurate in especially the 44 loading and no slouch in the 38s or 357s.

Just too much flash for SD work. Get the BE86 if you can.

Found some BE86 for sale at reloading unlimited fwiw

My revolver quest has led me to a Ruger SP101 3" that popped up today on a local forum. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have it in my little hands.

Ooh!
What sort of front sight have you decided on?

Nothing special. I told him this gun will be a beater/back-up to my m66. Ill probably put a tritium sight in eventually though.

Indeed, it's one of those "this idea is really cool" guns

I still can’t figure out the market for the 329.

Is it the “hold my beer and watch this” demographic?

For most people. Yes.

I could see this as a “carry much/shoot little” gun for people who work in real big predator (Grizzly) areas.

The 327 PD would be a far more practical gun for the vast majority of people. The TRR8 and M&P R8 make me want to shoot my own eye out. The PD is sexy.
