    Help me decide 686 or Python?

    http://www.bmtequipped.com/purchase.php The BMT Mooner tool seems like the way to go, both moons and de-moons depending which way the cap is on. However it's $90. Honestly I don't think I will need it anytime soon. I'll train with moon clips, learn how to efficiently do revolver reloads and...

    Help me decide 686 or Python?

    I think the black cherry color will look fantastic against the matte blue finish of the gun. I think I will go with the full size grips, I'm concerned that any boot grip with fingers grooves will have the same issue as the factory grips. Which is a shame as the factory rosewood grips are...

    Alright I figured out what I'm gonna do with this thing: gonna put black cherry VZ Grips on and a green fiber optic front post. And a case or two of Remington SJWCs. And some snap caps, I want to learn how to properly do revolver reloads. I'll work with the moon clips awhile. For a holster I...

    I lied, it came in today. First impressions- it's very heavy for it's size, the trigger is excellent. Double action is smooth and not overly heavy however I think The Python Double Action feel is a little better, it's smoother yet though slightly heavier. Single action on the other hand is...

    Would an L frame be to bulky for comfortable IWB carry? Or would you stick to OWB?

    The big bore Ruger revolvers do have more appeal for me. The Super Redhawk in particular is an iconic revolver that I should take into serious consideration when it is time for a .44.

    Speaking of Carry Comps I have just seen that Smith & Wesson is doing a Carry Comp series version of their M&P line. And they look seeeeeeexxxxxxyyyyy! I have been considering a 2.0 compact purchase for a while now, I think perhaps this new type cinches it for me. They look like something...

    Anybody have some good holster recommendations for the L-Comp? Something suitable for heavy yet compact(ish)? Are revolvers too wide for IWB? Would this thing be to heavy for a high riding holster? I'll be wanting something a bit fancier to suit this classy beast.

    The GP100 has several significant good points to it- The cylinder has lockup at both ends but both points are actuated by the single release button which is clever and convenient. The frame is a one peice construct with no side plate; instead the lockwork comes out as a sub assembly that is...

    Absolutely they are, maybe not quite as pretty but absolutely high quality guns. It's mostly just about preferences.
