Hey 4D,Do you think that would make a good Carry Gun?
![]()
It looks interesting. I carry a 1979 S&W Model 60 J Frame and 5 vs 6 shots is very low on my priority list. However, if the Kimber is of the J Frame size and 6 shots, it would fit nicely in the IDPA BUG Revolver division.Do you think that would make a good Carry Gun?

Hey 4D,I wish Ruger would make a revolvers in double action besides just a 38/357.I just cant afford a S&W
.
I equate S&W revolvers with my lever action Marlins. Just something about shooting a revolver and a lever rifle. I shot a friendly 2 gun match last year with my 6" S&W 28-2 and my Marlin 1894C using .38 Specials. My reloads were measured on a sundial but that was one of the best times shooting. My overall score (raw time + penalties for misses) was actually not that bad compared to one guy using his AR and Glock 19, he was fast, just couldn't hit anything with his rifle.Older (what were "new" ones when I was a young man) Smith and Wessons have always been my favorite handguns. I remember when you could buy a brand new Model 28 for $200 and the Model 29s and 25s were $225-250. If you didn't mind used, a good Model 10 or 15 could be had for $125 (if you shopped them) and a box of .38 Special reloads was under $5. Those older pre-lock Smiths are really starting to take off and it makes me wonder every time I go to the range if I shouldn't just leave them in the safe to appreciate in value for a few more years. Of course, when I step up to the firing line, pull that hammer back, feel that smooth action, squeeze that trigger and smell that smoke, I remember how much fun those older Smiths really are and what a shame it would be not to shoot them.

Shoot them, you wont wear them out.
Nope, I don't have even speed loaders for my N frame. I'll get a video up some time of my new 66-8 with comp 3 speed loaders.. Much faster.
