After looking at Rugers link, I could go for a GP 100 10 shot 22lr My 10 shot S&W 617 is simply my favorite handgun. I don't care what I'm taking to the range, the 617 is ALWAYS going with me!

Just bought a nice 1966 Ruger Bearcat yesterday... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/61888.jpg) Also on the list...a Ruger GP100 4" stainless .327 Federal and maybe a blue 5"...and a GP100 10mm when they get around to it... Well done sir!! Those are SO great for teaching the young ones to shoot. Size and weight is just right, and they're just off the charts cool! A friend of mine took a stainless one and did a M&H Skull Crusher grip conversion; OMG it is awesome! For the adults, the Bearcat is one AWESOME .22LR in a very small package. Great to throw in the pack. I also like pocket .32 ACP's for the kids. Something the size of a PP, Beretta Puma, etc, is like an adult holding a full sized auto. My daughter at age 8 just straight went to work with my Astra 3000 in .32.

Sig P365 for me. Seems they figured out the impossible.

I sure do like the beveled edges on that P365 better than the blocky squared shape of most slides. I might've went with P24/7 though. Has a better ring to it.
And I don't care for the rail on the bottom. For me I'd take a smoother shape instead, and maybe a bit longer barrel and more taper towards the muzzle and then I'd say it was just right.

Wanting a full sized 45 for the nightstand and considering a HK or Sig. Twisted between a HK45, HK USP Tactical, and P220 Legion. All great no doubt but each day one seems to be the next favorite.

My daughter at age 8 just straight went to work with my Astra 3000 in .32. In 1966 I was 14 and doing some trapping. My parents ok'd me buying a handgun and I narrowed it down to a Beretta Mix .22 Short and a Ruger Bearcat...I made the wrong choice in getting the Mix... Shot this one yesterday and it shoots dead to the sights at 10 yards... This one is about 98%...twhat looks like bluing wear on the barrel is just a reflection. David Clements is now rechambering the all stainless ones into .327 Federal and even at $1300 a pop has a long line of people waiting...

A S&W 629 has been on my radar for a while. Also thinking I need another 1911, maybe a Dan Wesson.

The same appeal as a commander sized 1911 vs a 5 inch . Im sure a lot of folks would love a 19 frame with the 17 slide .

If you have either of those, you should just buy the other, then you'll have the maximum number of combinations from the top and bottom ends. If you have both, then you already have what they're going to introduce, you just haven't assembled it yet.

Until the Gen5 series pistols, the G19's and the G17's have had dimensional differences and were not completely interchangeable. Locking blocks and barrels are different between the models to be specific. There are issues with slide overhang using a Gen5 G17 on a Gen5 G19 frame. Vice-versa is a no-go. The 19X is unique! Will be great in duty holsters and OWB in vehicle carry.
