Well, he inspired me.  I took my S&W 686 with me to the range this morning.  I'd forgotten what a fun gun it is to shoot - even if it does make small holes in the target.     :D

Sweet shooting.   .38spl target loads in this thing make .22lr guns seem like mules kicking.

Since you can't drift a thread that doesn't exist yet, do to certain drunken Aussies getting pissed rather than posting porn, I'll offer some advice Majer. I had a Bond .357. Trading it was on my list of dumbest trades ever. However I would HIGHLY advise you to send it to back to Bond. For very small dollars they will install the competition trigger spring. It reduces trigger pull noticeably. I think this sets you back $15. Then get the extended grips. With those two features your accuracy will noticeably improve with no real loss in front pocket concealability, and the whole deal is like $70 dollars installed. They even polished mine for free, and I had it back in a week. If you ever want to sell it, PM me. :'(

Good grab, you'll have to go BACK to the pub to celebrate... ;D

FQ, I have already "tuned" the Bond for CAS sidematch shooting, and as far as selling it, I could never sell it for less than 7 times what I paid for it , I also have an extra .45 Colt barrel for it and will add a couple more as I get around to it.

Oh, by the way I paid $50 for it  ;D ;D

That's $350, just over half the price of a new one.

Nice Taurus!
Majer, I'm extremely jealous of your $50 Bond! Was it loaded and in your hand when you paid that for it? ;D

It ain't stealing if you throw a $20 as you run away.
It's "creative financing"  ;D

Walter, Nope it was empty when I was looking at it, The guy who sold it to me was getting out of CAS and I was just at the right spot at the right time. I did insist on paying for it in full and getting a bill of sale saying it while I waited for the purchase coupon... ;D
