    50th birthday next week. Wife just let me buy this. 686 plus pro model with 5 inch barrel. Need to get to the range soon. First full size revolver, so may as well get a lifetime gun. Screenshot_20230709_222256_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20230709_220848_Gallery.jpg

    Sweet!! I was eyeing one of those in a pawn shop, & at a LGS.

    I have a Ruger GP100 6" SS 7 shot (I might've posted an image here). If I shot a LOT of full load .357 mag I might be concerned about the thickness of the walls between the cylinder chambers. But since I practice mostly with .38 it's a non-issue, not to mention I'm no engineer and/or metallurgist.

    I don't own any of his work but if I could afford it, top of my wish list.
    Sharup is a knife maker in the Ukraine who makes some of the most beautiful stuff I have ever seen.
    This one is of him making a matched set from a Russian tank cannon.

    I did get to the range. I have not shot many revolvers, or really a ton of different guns. And I'm not a fetishist, even though I carried for work for four years. That being said, I really like shooting this. Has enough weight and size that it is easy to shoot comfortably. My little 442 with 38+p stings, even with larger rubber grips. This thing is smooth. Even with 357 loads. Shoots more accurately than me. Single action feels great as well. Black sights suck in an indoor range. Need to look at doing something about that someday. Overall I'm very happy with it. Just a solid fullsize revolver that feels good. I did have a lot of issues with the cheap armscor ammunition I bought though. Multiple misfires, both in the 686 and my beretta 40, which doesn't have issues. Asked one of the range officers and he affirmed that armscor has been having a ton of misfires. The smaller group was two hands, seven yards, single action. The larger group was same set Screenshot_20231010_150123_Gallery.jpg up, twenty five yards. Screenshot_20231010_145811_Gallery.jpg

    Nice.

    I have a stash of Armscor .22 LR, must've caught a good sale. It's no worse than typical bulk .22 ammo for reliability, accuracy is decent but it does vary a bit depending on the gun.

    One thing I run into with the Ruger GP100 seven shot is the rims on certain ammo have just enough diameter to make fitting all seven rounds in difficult, and make extracting hot casings very difficult. I can't recall the brand & exact ammo, but I do know I finished it. My understanding is SW got the chamber spacing right.

    I have none.
    I want none. Still.
    Husband has a few. I could use them if he handed me one that is loaded. But I do not have regular access on purpose. I battle darkness and do not want to find myself alone with one. I have asked to not know the codes. No, I do not know how to get into the ammo nor the guns.

    I just watched the first episode of Jericho. It's a series that I have heard about but I am grateful I didn't see until now.

    It is brining up a lot of emotions. Realizing that my childhood home was carefully set up for such scenarios, my father being the regional emergency preparedness leader among the Mormons.

    I am... grateful? ...that all of this comes naturally.

    And grateful that my husband chose a home that is - above all else - a bunker. Made of blocks and bulletproof windows. Something to physically protect us as best he can.
