Birthday Gun

[jaybet]

My birthday is coming up at the end of March and my wife has told me that I can get a new pistol! That maybe sounds understanding but the fact is, she's one up on me right now so she OWE'S me that pistol.
I'm thinking small gun, big bore.

Back to the snubbies, huh?    I would stay away from any of the super light Chater Arms.  I had one recently and after firing two cylander loads slow fire you had to pound the extractor rod on the table to get the empty brass out.  That was just plain .38spl.

The new S&W Nite Guard series looks great!

It's been tough thinking about the snubbies and the bottom feeders...just can't decide because there are so many to choose from. It would also be fun just to head out to a few shops and look for what strikes me. That could be REALLY fun.

Same dilemma, same interest, coming in May. Let us know what you bring home. The choices make my head spin. Mac.

I'm going through a similar thing right now.

First the GFs Mosquito has got to go.  So a decision has to be made on a replacement .22 for her.

2nd (and more important) is I finally got around to getting my C&R (FFL03) license and wouldn't you know now I cannot find the Ishapore (Enfield) in 308!!      Even the Spanish LaGuardias are sold out!    As well as the P-38 9mm.  A month ago these guns were everywhere!  DAMN!  (have I used enough exclamation points?)

Anyone know of these guns out there?

As I suspected, Haz, the nation has picked up on the Presidential election concerns expressed by DRTV Forum members. It's dog eat dog out there in the gun bazaars. Cats are exempt from panic buying, as they promptly reacted to the early signs..  Mac.

Well Keystone is looking for the Enfield for me and Samco says they should have the Spanish Guadias in a couple of months.

What do you think of a CZ 82 with 2 mags, holster and cleaning rod for 200?

I was going to say, Birthday gun for a February 28th birthday - the signs are obvious -

SIG P228 or P229.  Or a Smith and Wesson Model 59 or a Model 60.

Actually, the 60 ALMOST fits your big-bore, small gun motif in .357 Magnum.  Big muzzle blast at least.

Or a Ruger Alaskan now that a snube in a BIG way!
