Just like a .357 can shoot .38 special, a .44 mag can shoot the cheaper .44 special ammo as well. Unless you plan on encountering a bear, I imagine .357 is probably enough gun for most purposes.Quote:

Upon further research, unless I get something with a 5 in barrel or greater, the barrel wont take full advantage of the .44's power.

Vehicle: 357 that I bought compliments of this thread with 3 speed loaders in the console next to weapon. Capacity for rapid fire: 24 Rounds. I don't leave an empty chamber in my vehicle gun.
Work: 380: 15 rounds with what I call the "rock crusher" HP's. More powerfull than the "Original G's" 9's of the past two decades in a much smaller get back model. When I shake your hand or bring your steaks/food to the front of my business I've got this one on me and NOBODY will notice or has in the past 11 years.
Home: 12 Gauge Remington 870. Plug Removed. 5 Rounds of BB Shot. Will "blender" any "home invasion specialist" but keep my neighbors safe as the BB's will not retain enough energy if they perforate a wall. Plus I've been using 870's for over 30 years and can safely use it at a very rapid rate in the dark.
I took your advice, I bought a S&W 686+ .357 magnum 6" barrel and it rocks. It has a 7 round cylinder and is a bear. I went and fired it the other day, very accurate. I put both 38 specials and 357 through it. I would recommend this product to another customer.
Just found used Glock 22s on sale for $315 with night sites. That's for the second generation edition. The third generation is like $360. These are trade-ins from law enforcement agencies. The only bad thing is that .40 ammo is high. Mucho stopping power though. :icon_wink:
Anybody licensed to do transfers?
Local shops will usually do them for between 20-30.Quote:

Can't go wrong with a Browning if you're after a good auto 22.
Anyone seen the new Kel-Tec PMR-30? Sweet!
My favorite new gun.

Traded my Remington 700 SPS in .270 WSM for a Savage weather warrior in .308. I can shoot 60 rounds for what it cost to get 20 in the short mag.
