Kewl.........I have had a tough time finding that round. Will order a case in the AM from my local gunrunner inc.

Thanks for the info...........Stay Safe !

[freedomlover]

FYI I have a Ruger 6 shot GP-100 357 with a 6" barrel - fun to shoot but a little clumsy to swing. Car gun.

[Mr. Mojo]

Damn, Squantos. ....I hope I didn't steer you wrong. I just checked out Winchester's website and the only 158 grs. listed were NOT hollowpoints. I sure hope I didn't pick up one of the last commercially available boxes the other day.

Did you hear anything about why it was discontinued?

[Mr. Mojo]

And neither Remington or Federal have them either, so it appears. This ain't lookin' good.

[Travis McGee]

Get a five shot .38 or .44sp snubbie!!!!!

[Squantos]

I was pretty sure they were no longer available as they worked well. I haven't been able to locate em but thought ya had found em back in the stores.........we'll keep looking. I have about 10 boxes left and they are "reserved more for carry vs plinkin........till I find a source.

Thanks for trying......keep me posted !

[Squantos]

I am impressed with the new Charter Arms Bulldog Pug. Harpseal has suggested that the 2004 shot show will present a few custom versions of that fine , cheap, well made little lightweight .44 special.........I feed it the 200gr Blazer Gold Dot Ammo. Very nice little revolver and extreamly accurate.

I'm waiting for the SHOT Show. Stay Safe !

[Mr. Mojo]

Ah, the Bulldog's back? The only other (relatively) compact .44 Spl I'm aware of is the Taurus (M445, I believe). Does the 'Dog come with a concealed hammer option?

[Travis McGee]

I like my old blue steel Charter Arms snubbie .38 with Hogue grips. Fits in a pocket like car keys. Goes bang every time you pull the trigger, and won't go bang if you don't. What more can you ask for in a defensive piece?

[Squantos]

No bobbed tail bulldog yet.....Harpseal says after 2004 SHOT Show possibly.

Stay Safe !

[Squantos]

Agree......I carry a 640 S&W Performance Center 357 mag snubby (when I need really deep concealment) that is ported with federal hydra shok's. I prefer the Barimi Grips for mine as it rides without a holster in my waistband really well with those grips.

The federal Hydra Shoks have almost zero night time flash from the port thus I get less recoil and don't get flash blinded per se.......Works well.

the Barimi's seem cheap but really work well. A custom grip maker makes a copy from laminated wood called Grip Lip ? I believe. I'll have to dig em out. They are really worth a peek if ya carry a revolver everyday.

Stay Safe !

[patton]

Why? I saw no mention at all of C4, or a trench broom.

[Eagle Eye]

Guns are like screwdrivers. You need the right one for the job or else you just mess things up.

I'm still trying to convince my wife that the 'one gun a month' legislation requires me to buy more.

[Shooter 2.5]

I did a search and the authorities said it was a .38. I did find a couple of comments from people who thought it was a .22.

[harpseal]

I have not talked with Nick from Charter Arms in a while now but will probably see him over the holidays. I will check on what he has in teh works the bobbed hammer Bullgog Pug is I know something that has been discussed and it really is not all that big a deal. Charter likes to keep costs as low as possible because that is where theri market is.

[holdmuhbeer]

I prefer a Remington 870 super mag pumping 18 pellets of 00 buckshot.

[Mr. Mojo]

"I did a search and the authorities said it was a .38. I did find a couple of comments from people who thought it was a .22."

I did a search and found some articles saying that authorities said it was a .38 and others saying that they said it was a .38. There must be a way we can definitively find out what it was. Any ideas?

[Mr. Mojo]

".38 and others saying that they said it was a .38"

I meant .38 and .22

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Yeah. That guy stole my material. I'm thinking of suing him.

[Squantos]

LMAO.....Get him ....that was a good read !..........Stay Safe Ern !!
