    Just replaced my Colt OP revolver...

    ..sold my last Official Police to pay for a rarer gun..but now I replaced it with an unfired, mint 1957 4" in 38 special....it sure looks good..but it is going to lose it's virginity soon at the range. Deputy fife would be proud of this 'Roscoe'.

    Bigger handgun, more bullets..superior?????

    Lets us reason together....how does a man with a bigger-bigger-bore gun or with gimmie-more-more bullets have a truly superior weapon than a man with a single stack auto or six gun...unless a bullet strikes someone it is just sitting in the gun harmless or shooting holes in the air or...

    ..I'll be darned trying to figure out why so many have gotten excited about the 223 avaiable in all it's variants....most of the guns are heavy in weight for the pee-wee rifle cartridge they shoot....ballistics are boring...fast fps..little energy...tiny bullet...it's accurate..so are many...
