Don’t mess with those fads.

Buy the S&W 586.

You’ll never regret it. It’s the #1 man killer in the history of law enforcement.

One of my favorite guns ever was a Smith model 27 with an 8 and 3/8ths inch barrel, target trigger and hammer.

I once almost won an all comers match using it for 100 yard pigs or rams or whatever they were. I knocked down 5 of 6 and the guy running the match later told me I hit the 6th but it did not go down. It was extremely windy that day in Western Kansas and I don’t think anyone else got more than 3.

I would have won the match if I had used it for 50 yard turkeys. I had planned on using a Thompson Center Contender with a ten inch barrel in.22 Magnum. Just as I was waiting to shoot, the scope fell off.

I was so surprised that I just put it back on an tightened the screws with a Swiss Army Knife hoping the zero was still on. I missed all 6 and the match by a single point.
