Worth a kilo-dollar, easy. And don't let anyone scare you on the recoil. I run 125 gr. Hornady FTX .357 mag X 50 rds per range visit. Worth the difference between a 380 Ruger LCP. I'm not scared. You won't be either. Try it. You'll love this gun. It is in my pocket. Along with two Bianchi speed load strips.
I bought this gun a couple of years ago and was money well spent. It is totally invisiable in the pocket parked in a holster. At the range, I'm good for about 20 rounds through it as my right hand is done for the day after that. Yes it has a massive bark!! I carry this as a backup for my XDM-45. I am having a little trouble picturing a small built woman operating this gun....That's what the 38 rounds are for.
i have a similar revolver a centennial airweight rated 39 plus P. It is easy to clean I practice with 39 special cartridges. this is a revolver that should be used repeatedly for practice. female can handle recoil. It just takes practice.
I'm in the market for a cc revolver for the summer time and I thought this would be the ticket until I heard the price lol. I've been looking at the ruger lcr. Since the Smith in review to pricey for me would the lcr be a good compramise? I meant would the lcr be comprable to the Smith. Or mabey the ruger sp101? what are your thoughts?
@thefamcnaj I would say see if you can find a used one, but people don't usually sell these things back. Don't know of of the quality of the lcr, but just a brief view of the specs and they do look comparable. Which ever one you choose I think a 357 Mag that's light enough and small enough to fit in your pocket is the correct answer to practical concealed carry.
I love revolvers Tom!! That is a BEAUTY! I have a S&W mod 36 very old. Great vid.Gold vs. guns no contest. Very good points! Thanks. I do hate safeties on revolvers though.
with all the GREAT info belive you me i have gotten excited about small revolers, i couldnt decide what i wanted next and this video made me see that i need a close quaters gun. S&W needs to prays you for helping sell there guns
Man that is light. I thought my snub at @27 ounces was light. But mine is made from stainless steel. I usually practice with 7 or 10 yard targets, but when I am at my brother's gun club, I shoot golf balls at 25 to 35 yards with it all day for fun. It is my preferred carry pistol. But I carry 125 grain .357 hollows, to keep recoil down.I know a lot of people who say Charter Arms is crap, but after 3000 rounds with no failure, and quite accurate, I am happy as can be with it.
@weaponseducation I have a Glock 30, but I am working on a collection that will eventually be roughly the size of yours. Can't carry it though, so I will just have to get something else that I think is really cool.
@jstmo95 Great! I quote retail prices & I mentioned that there are lower cost options for the "J" frame. I'm glad you found one! Thank you for your input!
Ive been torn between this model and the 360pd. Only difference i can tell is a different sight and a titanium cylinder on the 360pd. titanium version is only 11 ozs. any thoughts?
@fire1777 I do not plan to shoot the "J " frame, unless my life is in danger, so I'm happy with it. The other "J" frames are all excellent choices in my opinion. I use this revolver as a back up to a .45 or 10 MM.
been meaning to ask the gun comunity about revolvers and if there was any advantages over a auto ...never been a fan of the revolver mostly just personal taste wise but they just never apealed to me but as of lately and meeting alot of new people in the gun community i noticed alot of them carry a revolver ...so was kinda wondering if the was something im missing with them ....nice video too very informative as usual ...i love learning as much as i can
@steathassassin2000 The revolver is simple & will shoot with never a worry of a jam, plus easy to safety check. Thank you for watching, tell your friends!
