Have a few semi's but I'm more than likely to take my revolvers out the door when going anywhere. But then I don't get into as many gunfights as some of the other members on here. W. Bill I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

I found a super nice Smith 638-3 for $350 2 months ago. I gave both my .38 snubbies to my offspring so I desperately needed another. It was like an empty nest syndrome.

The most common buyers of newly made revolvers, from my observations, are people buying snub-nose revolvers for concealed carry. Last edited by Oregon45; 04/18/17.

Nothing wrong with that idea at all. I like that they have a long enough cylinder for 180 grain Hard Cast. That is substantial. NRA LIFE MEMBER GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS ESPECIALLY THE SNIPERS!

I'd bet Ruger sells a couple single actions for every DA snubby, even at half as more dinero.

I wouldn't bet against that; in the past five years the only new production revolvers I've bought have been Ruger Single Actions. Last edited by Oregon45; 04/18/17.
