Very nice. It seems to me that the manufacturers could really help out the brick and mortar joints if they dropped their wholesale prices some.

I agree completely. Mine gets from a distributor who has their markup so the LGS has to make their money as well. As much as I would like to go there for everything I just can't. This purchase alone would have been `$250 more!

Yup Kinber is still there. They keep refusing to let me crawl around their gun pit.
Traded in a couple of older safe queens today. I was originally going to sell them outright, and then I saw a pristine, like new S&W Performance Center Model 629-6 .44mag with a 2.625" barrel for sale. I negotiated a bit and got it for $760.00, vs new and on sale for around $950.00.
It's been on my list for a while...along with a Hogue grip for it.

Very nice! I love the two tone it reminds of Chuck Norris's 1911 in Walker Texas Ranger
I believe you are correct! The muzzle flash is typically about 3' long...
I've been looking for a Smith .44mag for a while for camping. I didn't want a 6 or 8" barrel though. Wanted a 3" or maybe 4" one. This one should fit the bill nicely.

Now we’re talkin some heat right there brother. Love the unfluted look on those snubby S&W’s ! If you roll yer own you can customize a load that won’t beat the crap out of you and will still get the job done.Traded in a couple of older safe queens today.

Yes but they are opening a new factory down south somewhere. I read about it in another thread here.

Congrats on your new acquisition, I have a Smith 629 on my list.
The way things are today I buy when the price is decent, if I see a deal I buy. Money is to hard to keep these days and I spend lot on my gun hobby. So $50 here and a $100 there adds up to a new gun or a bunch of reloading stuff..
With that much flash that gun will produce if you shot threw your jacket pocket I think it would catch your coat on fire.
Have fun with your new toy.

I really have only one or two other handguns on my list to purchase someday to fill some caliber holes in my collection, -and one or two rifles as well. One of those will likely be the Ruger 9mm takedown carbine, and the other may be a Mini14. Re handguns, I'm interested in the following ones: a Randall stainless LH 1911; an NAA .380, or maybe a Kimber stainless .380, and if money were not an issue, an Ithaca or Remington WWII vintage 1911 in memory of my dad and what he carried back then.
Oh, and the Mossberg 590 shortie looks interesting, although I'm pretty well set in that area.
Everyday EDC is either twin 9mm Shields during coat season, or my Ruger SP101 .357 @ 4PM OWB,- still partial to me as it was my first carry gun. Rugged as all Hell, but I have to say that the Smith Model 60 .357 snubbie with its' identical dimensions is a bit more refined looking. Nothing else really catches my eye at the moment.

It’s hard to beat online prices sometimes. I bought an lcpII for $200.00 plus $50 in shipping and fees. Locals want $320 plus tax so $350. A $100 is a $100.
