Hey  Hazmat I know you probably have but I noticed that there were a couple places in Shotgun News that had P-38's  in them so I thought you might want to check it out. Also www.fgsinc.8m.com Has a unissued new for $550.00

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.

And after 10 or 12 rounds of .357 out of a M60 your had starts to swell!

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.

I say you are dang right.  From the posts you've made lately I'd say she owes you two pistols.

I do like my titanium snubbie (Taurus)...and the J-frames are great without saying.  Maybe in .357 and a Charter Arms in 44?

What about the slightly larger SP01 Ruger....in maybe .327 mag...just to be different?

I like the way you think, that she owe's me two. I'll just take one of each! I keep looking at the Taurus snubbies and the J-frames are a given, but I'm not sure I can go the distance for a new one. I would definitely go 357 on them. I saw a 44 Bulldog last week and was disappointed- it seemed rough.
Since getting the GP161 back and feeling the action on that, the SP is much more attractive too.

I'm also thinking about the new Kahr 45- I forget the model #- but it's a little less expensive than the others. Also there's the 3" XD in 9mil, and I like the look of the CZ Rami (the all metal version)(2075).
See- I never know when the NEXT gun is coming, so it's so hard to decide!

Well, I pulled the trigger today (sorry, couldn't help it).
I was looking at a few 45s and wincing thinking about the last time I bought ammo, and saw
the Ruger SR9--there you go...my first striker fired pistol. We'll see how that goes.
I took it all apart and cleaned it. It looks pretty good, although it might need to be polished
up around the feed ramp- a little roughness there.
The weather is lousy, but maybe I'll get out tomorrow for a little while.
I just hope wifey doesn't pull that, "You have to wait 'till your birthday" crap.

Great choice.  If I were picking, then I would have gone with either a .357 SP101 Ruger or a Para Warthog in .45 acp.

I was thinking about all those little 1911 guns, but almost all are around a thousand bucks...I was in the  "under $500" range this time around.
