    Welp CM, if you're looking for something inexpensive and still reliable, how about a Taurus 617 or model 85 if you just wanted .38 +P? Not exactly the top end of anything, but they go boom when and how they're supposed to. :twocents:

    Oh, and since I mentioned the T word, I'm rather expecting a nice flaming... ah well and if so/then so!

    I really need to get my 66 up to Denny. That gun needs to shine as much as my 586 did. I swear, the trigger on the 586 was telepathic. There was no movement. I just thought shoot and it shot.

    If you think you have nice guns, go to the range with BA and the Wiz. You'll come back to earth pretty quick. Every time they would shoot one of mine, they'd say "that's pretty nice. Try this one." And then I'd see what nice really is.
    You have many exceptional guns and I probably haven't seen a quarter of them. I appreciate very much that you allowed me to run them. Definitely put a smile on my face.

    When it comes to wheel guns I always liked the hammerless or shrouded hammer models for a bug. The .357 models were preferred but I always ran .38+P in them. BTW those are the only guns I will run +P in but that's another discussion. S&W makes a lot of relatively affordable snubbies in that category. GB is usually full of them. I always loved mine but for some reason they never hung around very long. Probably because I always felt like I couldn't hit **** with a wheel gun. Shooting wheel guns well is something that takes more practice then I was willing to invest. You just need a RAMI. If that doesn't qualify as a pocket gun get bigger pockets. ;)
    Then you know your belly gun can hit bellies out to 95yds. :):

    P.S. Does anyone know who has my old RAMI? So many have left the family and I should have kept track. I keep thinking that somewhere, over the rainbow, I might be able to reacquire a few of my old friends.

    BTW, I am done shooting until this whole process is over and the fog is completely cleared. I had an "incident" at the range the other evening that scared me. No one else noticed it and it was, thankfully, not unsafe as the gun was, as always pointed down range. But what my mind should have recognized and would normally have without conscious thought it did not. I shot a string, counting in my head as always, and reached what I thought was the end. I had shot the last several rounds in SA but wanted to do a dry pull on DA before I put the gun down. My brain did not acknowledge that the slide did not lock back on the last round and that the gun was in battery. Of course this means either it didn't lock back for some reason on the last round or...it wasn't the last round. This is a no brainer, right? Well, apparently I am now working with no brain as it didn't even register. So, pointing the gun down range, I squeezed off what I thought would be a dry fire DA pull and, of course, BANG. I was momentarily startled and then scared. I put it down and was done shooting.
