I haven't been able to get on for several years. The communication I received was I was on Yahoo for an email address and it was not being honored. Haven't been back there in years.

Trey, thanks for your service! There are more than a few old vets on this site. Love Smith& Wessons and this is a good place to be. My Model 15-3 my favorite 38.

10MM 3" GP is a reasonable and real (read available now) 6 shot snorter. And for the woods driven a 4.25" Match Champion.

Thanks Guys been loading up some 225 grain .452 HPs from soft lead just to see how they shoot. Waiting on weather as it is blowing steady at 28Knots and not a good day to venture forth. I will continue to play with this gun.

Reflex the old Winchester Silvertip 44 Spl load and the CCI/Speer 200 grain Gold Dot are good candidates for carry in that little cannon.

Had one in my 20s and new to big bore handguns. Couldn't handle it and ammo was super expensive. Traded it. Should get one of the classics now in 3" I would approach the 44 Bulldog in a much different manner.
Actions were pretty rough, got some 215 full wadcutters at 800fps would be an interesting carry load.

Went to the indoor range today, 3 inches of new snow on the ground and temps in the low 20s. Turning into a real wuss in my old age. Shot my house gun a Sig 320 45 and it continues to shoot well. It likes 225 trunecated cone bullets with 5.5 grains of Bullseye.
Second gun to go to the line this morning was my Ruger Match Champion and boy does that 357 shoot! It especially likes 160 FP cast by GT over 14.0 2400 and a W-W primer, shoots nice little groups at 50 ft from a Weaver stance. Have the Wolff 10/10 springs in the MC and it really shoots sweet.
Would have taken pictures but had people waiting and the range was busy. Shot made some notes on loads and left the lane for the next person who was setting up a AR.
Stopped by a favorite Pawn shop today after leaving the range and lo and behold in the case a very clean, lightly carried and little evidence of being shot a Nickel Model 29-2 4" and I feel a trade coming on. Owner set it back as he knows I will work a deal. Original grips just like new, forgot to ask if they had the case. $895.00 but I've never had a nickel 29.

Bought my 69 4" back in 2014. The concept is so neat an L Frame 44 Mag. I carry mine with a light 44 Mag load. 8.5 Grains of Power Pistol and a 240 LSWC. It shoots little tiny groups and the slug knocking on the door of 1,000 fps. It will handle the heavy mags just fine, but I can't shoot that stuff regularly anymore and I don't need a load more powerful than the one just mentioned for 99.5% of the time.
45 MAN was correct you've got great parents. Bless em back, I know you will.

625 PC is a fine revolver; love the 225 SWC in mine.

One of the last ones I would let go. Had one in the 80s and traded it away, would love to find another.

Picked up a used 642-1 this evening and took it to the range. 10 yds she put all the wadcutter exactly where I was looking. These are +P 148 grain wadcutter loads.

The agency that neighbored ours issued the 559, IMHO they were the best of the 3rd generation Smiths.
