I haven't done extensive testing, I always went with the stuff my FBI shooting buddies gave me, the Federal Hydrashock. I used to get the stuff that had passed the "carry life" and (of course it was good for years more) and shot it a lot. On stuff like bowling pins. The recoil was moderate, the accuracy was a good and it was utterly reliable. I don't carry a 45 nor do I have one set up for home defense anymore but I used to have a SW 4505 when my son was little since it had a magazine disconnect on it and I'd keep the magazine in my pocket and even if he managed to get hold of the gun it was unable to fire without a magazine. Remington Golden Sabers and the Hornady Critical defense line of ammo are others that are highly recommended. My wife has 380 GS in her SIG 238 and I have them in my 9mm SIG 938. In the 40 I keep in my car I have 135 Winchester Border Patrol rounds mainly because the 135 allows the fastest follow up shots

did that-the dealer filled out the paperwork as one clerk was doing the BGC. they gave me a second receipt to attach to the paperwork. I actually filed it on line but having the form filled out with serial number, dealer's address etc saved me a bunch of time. Lots of places are having deals. I just bought 1000 rounds of 62 grain Federal 556 for 300 bucks and the shipping was free

I was at a friend's upscale gun shop for their anniversary (they bought a business, and moved it from a hole in the wall to a really nice place) and they had the Springfield Rep there. The rep had one of the hard to get Operator (gray finish, adjustable night sights). I was planning on buying another Les Baer but I went with that one instead-it was much cheaper than a LB and it seemed really well made

19 and 36 are both classics We have a 19

Interesting. its 40th anniversary

What was the year of it

massive cool.

Nice, I like the color of the grips too

I own several 686 revolvers-all are 4" or 6" with non ported barrels. I think its the best all-around revolver on the market and unlike the N frames, you can get a great action job on them-as well as you can on the K frame

I will keep my eyes open for one. I am pretty much to the point I am not adding anything to my extensive collection unless its something that will give me an edge in competition. but thanks
