    Bisbee and Tombstone are a bit of a drive, but are at a higher enough elevation that they are significantly cooler this time of year than old Tucson, so if you are interested in cowboy stuff,...

    I also grew up driving older MOPARs. My Durango is an 07 with the 4.7, so it’s good enough for lots of utility and sounds cool, but defo not a Hemi. I really like the way the Gen 2 looks, and it...

    +P does increase the recoil on these. More noticeable in the PM9 than in the G26, but that is as you might expect.

    You won’t know if yours changes POI dramatically enough to matter unless you experiment. :D

    Yeah, I was bemoaning the fact that I like fast cars, but need SUVs. Now, I’m like … hmm. Older Durango will get me by for a while, but when it dies, a Maverick could do double duty.

    My first thought is that it kind of defeats the purpose of a J or even K snub being compact and light to rig a way to put a dot on it. @Tam had similar things to say about it this week.

    The one Taurus I have owned was an early 2000s 605, and while I didn’t particularly like it, there was nothing wrong with it. It ran everything I ever shot through it, and hit was it was aimed at.

    IIRC, the lock work on a short-throw hammer DA S&W makes for a shorter SA lock time than is usually had on a traditional SA revolver.

    OTOH, the Bisley was an SA designed for bullseye target...

    I frequently carry my 60-9 Ladysmith IWB - it’s more comfortable and lighter than a K there, and has less square bits than my G26.
