If I'm going to get an 8-shot revolver, it's going to be a S&W M&P R8.  .357 Magnum N-frame.  It'll set me back about $1100, but it'd be worth it.

I'm going to my LGS today with my wife to look at a handgun for her.  Yeah, I've got my preconceived notions (S&W 642 LS or Glock 42), but if she likes something else, that's what we go with.

I haven't had a chance to handle an R8, but they sure do look nice!

The other handgun that I considered is the N frame PC 627. I went with the 929 for the extra barrel length and while I'm concerned about the issues some are having with this handgun, the shorter 9mm cartridge makes for a faster reload. This is going to be a competition gun only.

I already have a 686, the standard 6 shot with a 4" barrel. I bought it new and then changed the sights and had trigger work so I have well over a grand in the thing. Shoots great now but out of the box it had a 14# trigger.

My daughter picked out a J frame 442 snubbie for Christmas. This after much thought and discussion. Since Mrs thomas15 has a 637 (with crimson trace laser grip) I had my daughter shoot it a few times.   Initially  she really wanted a KelTec 32 auto poodle shooter.    I don't think that is a good choice for a primary carry gun.  In the end the thing that sold her on the 442 was simplicity and compactness.  I had to really work at some light handloads to get the bark out of this gun (110g Hornady XTP HP with 3.0g Hodgdon Clays). Even I will admit that a standard load (158g plated RN with 4g AA#2) is quite a manly load for the airweight J frame.

My son got the M&P Shield in 9mm. Nice gun. Let us know Blue State Saint what you get and how you make out.

I seem to recall someone here saying he died.  May be thinking about somebody else. If he isn't dead, I imagine he is on a park bench somewhere pontificating on the reason why no company will hire him.

The Burger King on Rt. 22 West in Phillipsburg, NJ is still open so I think that Douglas is still consuming copious amounts of oxygen. Along with a large number Whoppers.

Thumbs up for the Smith & Wessons!

I agree on the poodle shooter .32. I'm not a fan of Kel-Tecs anyway- call me a snob - but my real beef with the KTs is their molded plastic trigger. One sharp ridge running down the middle does not a "serrated target trigger" make!

Oh, I never noticed that before. 

When I nadined it, one of the top results was an aluminum trigger upgrade.  That's one ugly stock trigger.

I had a student with a new KT 9mm. The pistol was 100% reliable for the 100 rounds (practice + qualification), but he ended up with an abraded trigger finger by the end of the day.

That aluminum trigger looks like a good upgrade. I have also read about using a Dremel tool to smooth off that seam, but I don't think I'd do that.

I have a PT-32, that is whee my daughter got the idea. On mine, it's not just the trigger that has the ridge from the mold, it's also evident on the frame itself. The gun also feels a bit flimzy but shoots fairly well. I bought it for a BUG.

My daily carry (S&W MP9c) also has a polymer trigger with a seam, but it has never caused me any issues.  I have put several thousand rounds through it as well.  Whatever S&W does to smooth theirs, KT needs to do as well.  :-)

For lurking DUchebags:

IT IS NOT GUN VIOLENCE. IT IS BLACK MALES AGE13-55 VIOLENCE.

FBI stats and reality prove this whether you accept it or not.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

The other handgun that I considered is the N frame PC 627. I went with the 929 for the extra barrel length and while I'm concerned about the issues some are having with this handgun, the shorter 9mm cartridge makes for a faster reload. This is going to be a competition gun only.

I already have a 686, the standard 6 shot with a 4" barrel. I bought it new and then changed the sights and had trigger work so I have well over a grand in the thing. Shoots great now but out of the box it had a 14# trigger.

My daughter picked out a J frame 442 snubbie for Christmas. This after much thought and discussion. Since Mrs thomas15 has a 637 (with crimson trace laser grip) I had my daughter shoot it a few times.   Initially  she really wanted a KelTec 32 auto poodle shooter.    I don't think that is a good choice for a primary carry gun.  In the end the thing that sold her on the 442 was simplicity and compactness.  I had to really work at some light handloads to get the bark out of this gun (110g Hornady XTP HP with 3.0g Hodgdon Clays). Even I will admit that a standard load (158g plated RN with 4g AA#2) is quite a manly load for the airweight J frame.

My son got the M&P Shield in 9mm. Nice gun. Let us know Blue State Saint what you get and how you make out.

It was somewhat exasperating, because she really wasn't into it.  I think she's just going to go with whatever I get her.   S&W 642 LS, then.  I'm going for the Glock.

45 LC

This company is US owned and manufactured in Florida. All they make is cowboy guns. The price is pretty cheap for something like this- I payed $280.00 for mine new in box.

They make them in .22, .357, .45 LC and (if you ever wanted to really hunt a buffalo with a handgun) in .45-70.

Really nice shooter and just a shitload of fun.

Its got open fixed sights and is single action.

The company also makes holsters and gunbelts for all their weapons.

It was somewhat exasperating, because she really wasn't into it.  I think she's just going to go with whatever I get her.   S&W 642 LS, then.  I'm going for the Glock.

So I understand, you are getting her a 38 snub and yourself a G42?

If I might say one thing about my better half's 637 with the the crimson trace. I don't know how the factory  LS works but I don't think much of the crimson trace. The sight itself works fine, is well made, adjustable and so forth. But the laser dot jumps all over because you are looking at the dot and not through the sight. So this might go away with a lot of practice. Also finding the little switch to turn it on in a high pressure situation may be a  problem. So I'm personally not a fan but I haven't spent much time training with one.

I have a G26 and I handload for it. It takes a fairly strong load to ensure that the gun functions properly. Accurate it is but it shivers your timbers as the old salts would say, no where near as easy to shoot as my G17 with a bunny fart load.
