Because there are about 20 threads on how the Dwarf RINOs caved on the fillibuster I decided to put up a vanity thread on a topic that makes me, and hopefully others, happy. Also I recently passed my 5000th Reply and 100th posting benchmarks, having been here since 1998. So, while vanities are frowned on I'm going to do one anyway. (1 out of 5100 postings as a vanity may be almost OK with the mods).

Isn't that the same frame that the Taurus 669 was built on?

I've been boycotting S&W handguns ever since my wife found out how many I have.

I have the 3" Backpacker 629. A limited production weapon that is perfect in a 3" barrel, just enough to take the sting out of heavy rounds.

Not sure. I know Taurus semi-cloned a Smith a number decades ago but evolution has been seperate for a long time and apparently the internals are different now. They look a lot like Smiths.
To: Jack Black
Done. Just put the word "banglist" (minus the quoes) into the "Keywords" section.

There are three .41 mags in the current Smith catalog. This almost qualifies as a small revival for the cartridge. It's only had one available for quite a while. This one, the 2005 edition Mountain Gun, is nice because it features the more traditional blue and wood look.
Hope everyone feels free to post pix of their favorite N frames for our appreciation.

ahh, much better. PREVIEW, PREVIEW, PREVIEW

I do not limit myself to S&W, I have a few of them all. We need to bring in the Archery thread too. When I can't get to the range I can still shoot my VTEC right behind my house. Our home range goes out to 60 yards.
When the politicians really P O me I head out back t kill some bales.

I was curious - I carried a Taurus 669 as a daily open carry when I was stationed out in Nevada. Big hands needed a big gun to fit around. Always felt real comfortable carrying it around too. Only got stopped once by Law Enforcement - and that was only because he wanted to see what it was I was carrying for loads (five .357 Federal Hydrashoks).

Well it was a full moon last night !
To: Jack Black
That looks like a Model 24 with Kym Ahrends grips, but I can see its an early Model 29. Smith and Wesson went back to the early barrel profile with their Mountain Gun, made for a year in .44 mag and for two years in .45 Colt.

Sounds like a "gun running past the wife" failure to me.
Mine won't know till I die and then I doubt she'll curse me.
