Wow, I've never been in Elmore's but it sure seems like the concensus is that I shouldn't bother. I did call them once to ask about scopes that were in stock and was told to "come in and look". They couldn't be bothered to go and look for me while I was on the phone. That's why I've never...
I have been shooting a P99-9mm for a few years now. I tend to pick it up over my Glock 17 when I want a hi-cap 9. I also found police trade in P99 .40 mags really cheap and they were easy to convert to 9mm by tightening the lips.
I like my S&W 22A... good grip angle, nice target style sights, easy to put on a red dot sight, and the barrel is easy to change.
I have a 7" for target and a 5" with a red dot sight.
for me, it was a cop 357, 4 barrel, striker fired. It was actualy painful to shoot. bought it brand new, fired 2 rounds and traded it in...
"painful" memories (pun intended)
