Happiness is a new gun 2

[BirdsThaWord]

I tried to be good, but it’s not working out. I suddenly got a hankerin’ for a Ruger SP101 in .327 Magnum. 6-rounder, to go with my .22 SP101. I wish the 4” didn’t have the giant fiber optic front site. The 3” looks perfect, though. I have dies and brass. And a cooler head may prevail…

Love the SP101’s. Congratulations! I’m going to be doing the opposite though, putting a fiber optic on the polished one. Figuring a blue rod will go with the blue grips.
.327? I had no idea it was available.

Back in the 80's I had a chance to buy a Dan Wesson revolver from a friend who got hurt at work. It had two barrels, one long and one short. I didn't want to take advantage of him so I declined with an offer to loan him some money instead. Later when he got back on his feet I offered to buy it from him but he declined to sell it then. Oh how I wish now that I had accepted his initial offer, which if memory serves was $200. It was a beautiful satin stainless, in .357 I think. Probably worth a ton more now. But at least my heart was in the right place.

We have the 22 SP101 for the wife. I'm not nuts about the trigger. Need to do more with the spring thing. Always intended to get the 357 and shoot 38's for her but they are a bit heavy. Ended up with a Smith 638. Not thrilled with the trigger on it either but she likes it. I offered her my Colt Cobra, holds 6 and has a much nicer trigger but she wanted to stay with the Smith. Didn't mind, the Colt was my first ever new pistol. Long long ago and still mint even though it got carried for years.

I would say do a full trigger job, but if you’ve ever COMPLETELY taken one apart… I’m not looking forward to putting mine back together. Thank the heavens there’s a guy with a youtube video. When it comes time, if that video is gone, I may have a bunch of nicely smoother SP101 parts for sale!

Just buy it, you’ll be glad you did.

I had a Dan Wesson pistol pack. Had the brief case with 4 barrels, two handles, the wrench, a patch and some other stuff. Great gun. Why I traded it boggles my mind to this day. And the price they get now days is insurance that one will never see my man cave again, unless Bird wins the lottery and shares a lot with me being his pal and all ya know.

Today I scratched an itch. Had been looking at coach guns for a couple of months. I grew up watching spaghetti western shows. Picked up a Stoeger Double Defense in 12 gage. At first I was thinking wood furniture, then I came across the Double Defense. Ported barrel, fiber optic front sight. Shot it today and I will be shopping for a Limb Saver.

Wish I got one of those bag when a lgs had them on sale a few years back. Could not believe the sale price.

I had an itch for a 45 Long Slide myself.
Being an Hk guy though this is what I bought.
Do have a holster for it, but never even tried to carry the monster ...
It's a double stack 12+1 BTW.

I bet that’s one accurate pistola!

That pistol pack was a nice set. They had nice sight inserts, heavy barrels, and were smooth shooting.

Is that a belt buckle?
