i figure if someone could talk about getting a tube up his arse(sorry JP, hope the tests are neg.), then guns should be as safe a topic for discussion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
looking to purchase a 357 mag. i want something for home protection (i've pissed off a few people in my lifetime) as well something to plink around with, and i can carry it as a sidearm when hunting birds in the mountains (lions and bears, OH MY). i was thinking this was also a suitable caliber that it wouldn't knock my wife on her ass when she shoots it, but offers suitable stopping power against local wildlife (and lions and bears as well). plus i've heard some people can even hunt with this caliber, matched with the right load. any opinions ??????? I think i've narrowed it down to the ruger gp-100 and the S&W 686. thanks in advance......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) just read the carjack thread.... one more reason.

I never owned a revolver but if I did, it would be the 586 and not the 686. Reason is, the 686 is shiny as the 586 is black or standard bluing. It doesnt refract light and if you are in the dark, the shiny gun will show and you can be seen. Why do you think the cops dont carry nickle plated or chromed firearms. Black is the only way to go. I had kids that were small so I always had 9mm handguns that they could not even chamber a round in let alone fire it. I always had my guns locked in cabinets too with trigger guards but on a revolver, it is too easy to make the gun fire so for safety, I just never bought one. Just my 2 cents.
