    What I almost bought was a S&w 6906. There is a million used ones for sale in the $300-$350 range and they get good reviews. Some are more handled than other but I think I'll pick one up in a couple of months. Either that or a used Beretta 92.

    Good review on what you bought. Wish I could buy something, go home and shoot it in my backyard:bow:

    I have the 40 cal version of that. I don't love it. Just doesn't fit me. Plus, I'm not a fan of that particular round either.

    I have meat hooks as well. I really can't put my finger on why, I just don't like it. It's really subjective. Every time I pick it up I'm like 'meh'. It would be good for the purpose your suggested, tho.

    If I had to guess, I feel like it might be grip angle?

    I have the 627 UDR. I also have the 686+ with a 2 1/2 bbl. I like the 686 better. L frame is a better size for a snub nose. Both are fun to shoot though and fast and accurate with practice

    I've wanted a revolver. I shot a j frame and couldn't hit shit with it. As cool as they are, I just can't see the purpose these days. Modern striker fired pistols seem superior in every way, unless maybe you're talking about big bore stuff. What am I missing besides the form and mystique?

    I don't know, but I shoot my 642 better than any other gun I own. I guess the fantasies in my head are more Josey Wales/Harry Callahan and less Tactical Bearded Operator Dude.

    And how are modern striker fired pistols superior? Bc they hold more bullets?

    Revolvers are more reliable than pistols and when you do have a misfire from a bad primer, you just pull the trigger again. They also require less maintenance.

    j frames are hard to shoot, but you can become proficient with one with practice. Pocket semi auto pistols are not easy to shoot either, and typically unreliable.

    I love shooting revolvers, and other than 1911s and my 22LR model 41, they are about all I shoot anymore.

    Typically unreliable?! What are you shooting? That's a strong statement...

    Never had an issue with my CM9 or Bodyguard 380. The BG has second strike, should you need it, which I like.

    Anyone here have the Sig 320 X-Five? I'm really digging that one. I'm really trying to find a CZ75 Tac Sport or Tanfoglio clone.

    Semi autos are less reliable than revolvers.

    Small semi autos are less reliable than their bigger cousins. It has to do with cycle time.

    Small revolvers are just as reliable as their bigger cousins.

    My standard for reliability is high.
