At about 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, 22 March, 2018, in St. Paul, Minnesota, a 39-year-old man arranged to meet a man to purchase an iPhone X. The “sale” turned out to be a pretext for an armed robbery. One report says the “seller” stuck a gun in the side of the would-be buyer, then robbed him as he was counting out $500 for the purchase.
The meeting was arranged on Facebook. From cbslocal.com:
Police say a suspect is in custody after a permit-to-carry holder in St. Paul shot him during an armed robbery.
According to St. Paul Police, it happened at around 5:30 p.m. Thursday on the 1100 block of Rice Street. Kendrick Johnterious Maddox, 18, had arranged to sell an iPhone X via Facebook and was meeting with the buyer. When the man was counting out the cash, police say Maddox pulled out a gun and took the money.
The would-be buyer had a carry permit and a .357 revolver. He drew his revolver and fired at the armed robbery suspect. Accounts do not say how many times he fired. One online commenter claimed the victim fired three times, citing listening to news stories. The victim fired at least once and hit the suspect in the foot. The suspect fled. A man matching the description turned up at a local hospital for a gunshot wound. From twincities.com:
The buyer began counting out $500, when the seller pulled a firearm and robbed him. The buyer pulled his own .357 revolver and shot the man, who ran away.

“My 1st handgun was a 586.”
Still the finest handgun ever built.
I’ll soon be buying one of the brand new ones.
4 inch. Though I wish they made a 3 and a 5 inch.
I like variety lol
I love my S&W revolvers chambered in .357/.38 caliber. However, I don’t use them for concealed carry. Too heavy and only 6 rounds. Also, not easy to place tight groups in a hurry due to the recoil.
My favorite carry right now is a Glock 43 with extended magazine, giving me 8+1. 9mm hollow points and tight groupings will always do the trick.
Ebonics is first red flag
“I love my S&W revolvers chambered in .357/.38 caliber. However, I don’t use them for concealed carry.”
I have an SP101 I carry on occasion. It’s a brick for sure. But my favorite carry revolver is a Charter Arms Bulldog in .44 Spl. It’s much lighter and the cartridge equivalent to a .45 ACP.
My EDC is a Springfield XDS in .45. 6 in the mag, one in the pipe. Shoots like a dream.
