Very nice gun, but I am more a fan if the K frames personally.

I've had a couple 66's and 19's in that category, but for the muzzles blast and recoil they generate while producing slower velocities, I'll opt for another inch or two or just do a J frame. We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth? Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.
