Everybody run! The prom queen has a gun!

[FunkyZero]

She's way short of her goal, but one has to admit fifteen hundred bucks is nothing to sneeze at.

Hey, 1500 bucks would get me a shiny new Dan Wesson or that 10mm Delta Elite I've been drooling about

[FiddyBeowulf]

I was wondering about that too.

Probably a 19.

ETA:  Is Charter Arms' QC back up to snuff?  My cousin just bought a PitBull in .40 S&W.  Said that he wanted to get a revolver but didn't want to have to deal with another round (I suggested .38 Special), so he found that our LGS had one.  He said that it's rather 'snappy.'

I have a S&W Bodyguard .38 and it is quite snappy. I'd rather shoot my .480 Ruger than the .38 but the Ruger does not conceal very well (meaning, not at all).

For tiny revolvers, right?  I didn't see SIG or Glock on that and figured that you were talking revolvers.  The new Kimber hasn't been out long enough, but I'd place it right at the front of Tier One.

You are correct; I was talking about small-framed revolvers. I should have been more precise.

I didn't include the Kimber K6S. It is a beautiful weapon, fit and finish are top-notch. But... it is new on the market and does not yet have a track record for long-term reliability. Parts wear or breakage, shooting out of time or alignment, or recalls would all affect my rating.

Also not included: the Chiappa Rhino, the Armscor 206, and the Cobra Shadow (not to be confused with the Colt Cobra). I haven't handled or fired any of them, I don't know anyone who has, and I haven't read anything from someone who has actually fired more than 500 rounds through any of them.

Ooooooooh.  Aaaaaaah.

No problem--I speak 'small, concealable handgun' rather well.

Well, your opinion, like BadCat's and DAT's, on weapons is one that I want and seek out.  You are right about the time-frame question.  it's just too new.

I've been checking out reports on the Armscor/RIA 200-series of .38 Special revolvers.  The 206 grabs my attention rather quickly.  From what I've seen of various YouTube channels that I subscribe to (I have got to get a Hickok45 teeshirt!), they find it to be a rather well-made, if a tad rough, little snubbie.  I'm interested in what Colt is going to charge for their new Cobra (probably won't be able to justify it, so I'd get a Kimber K6S instead).

Did the cat run off with Pam's Glock?

She has had em both for years. She posted a pic, leaning against a computer with garbage in the background. Same place she took her glock pic.

My cat is more into SIGSauers . . .

I am terrified. I am disabled and sick. My other half is a white albino
I tried to speak of how serious this is and that we would not be safe.

my other half said "we aren't the bad guys"

No understanding at all

If this gets horribly bad, I have a charter pink lady and I will use it. I will not be a victim

Shoot yourself.  Not later, right now.
Just ****ing die already.

H5 for stepping right up and offering help!

I can't stand to see stupid animals suffer.  It's just my caring nature, I guess.

Thank you for the kind words, sir.

I plan to buy an Armscor 206 and put it through the wringer this summer, then talk about it on the air. I reckon I'll write it up here on the Cave, too. For less than $225, it will be an affordable good time!

MSRP on the new Cobra (a 3rd generation Dick Special, really, because of the steel frame) is $699. Actual retail will probably be $599-625.  http://www.colt.com/Catalog/Revolvers/Cobra

Personally, I miss the Python.

[Big Dog]

Personally, I miss the Python.

Oh, yeah. Me too.

I can see a New Python on the market in 2017.

[BlueStateSaint]

I sure hope so.  I just pulled my blued 6" out of the safe last week to admire it.  Damn, it's a pretty piece of iron!  Though, I don't think we'll ever see the new Python with a hand-fitted trigger, like the old ones.

I may be misunderstanding what an "albino" is.

But of course remember where I'm from, where the preponderant majority of everybody is fair-skinned, blue-eyed, and blond.

I always thought an "albino" was somebody with super-white skin, white hair, and pink instead of white in the eyes.

An albino is someone who doesn't carry the gene that codes for production of melanin. Result is ultra-pale skin that burns easily, pink iris (since they don't have any melanin, they do sometimes go blind from sunlight), and white hair. It's a recessive trait, so any offspring would be a carrier, but not suffer from it.

Albinism also occurs in animals. Many cats with it are deaf, but I don't know if other animals are affected like that.
