Several weeks ago I purchased a pristine Model 27-2, blued with an 8 3/8” barrel, presentation case, tools and docs, from a member of the S&W Forum. The interval between purchase and arrival at my FFL spanned a weekend. My weekends are taken up with shooting IDPA or USPSA. This particular weekend it was an IDPA match. A gentleman in our squad was shooting PCC – the first I had seen anybody shooting in this division. I thought that looked pretty cool, but also thought it kind of cost prohibitive to put together a PCC on an AR platform like he was using. Then I remembered a conversation I had with my gunsmith a month or so before. He was showing me his PCC – a Ruger PC Carbine – and extolling its virtues. My gunsmith isn’t just a smith, he is also a Grand Master in IDPA, USPSA and ICORE, so when he talks, I listen. With that in mind, I started thinking about the Ruger as a means of inexpensive entry into the PCC Division. I started researching prices and found a LGS with a very good price, but still just a little bit more than I wanted to pay, at the moment. So the day came when my 27-2 arrived at my FFL. He is a semi-retired LEO and runs a small store out of the basement of his house (aren’t they always the best kind?) After completing the paperwork for the 27-2 I just casually asked him to quote me a price on a Ruger PCC. I was really surprised when he came back to me with a price significantly less than the LGS had them for – so I had him order me one – what else could I do? So the Ruger comes in and last night I trek over to his house to pick it up. I walk in the door and there is somebody sitting in front of the desk, waiting for his NICS to come back. In front of him there is a S&W box and to the left of that, a stainless S&W revolver. It took me a moment to realize that the box was brand new and the revolver wasn’t. So after inquiring if the revolver was what he bought, and getting a reply in the negative, I picked it up to examine it. It was a 625-3 with the 3” barrel. It still had the original Pachmayr Gripper grips on it. It was in excellent shape. The wheels started turning – let’s see, first the 27-2, then the Ruger – do I really want to spend even more on this 625-3? I figured it was a moot point because I was sure that he’d want much more than I’d be willing to spend, so I said, “I’m not even going to ask.” I completed my paperwork and was preparing to go, I took one last look at it and said, “OK, you got me, how much?” You know that cliché about spraining your shoulder by reaching for your wallet too fast? That was me. He quoted me a price lower than I’ve paid for any N-frame in the last ten years – and I’ve stolen some. Hooked. Since this is NJ, it remains at my dealer until the 30 days from my purchase of the 27-2 are past, but then it comes home. I now have three 25’s (25-2/6.5”, 25-13MG/4”, 25-14/3”) and three 625’s (625-2/5”, 625-8PC/4”, and now a 625-3/3”) and one 325PD in 2.75”. There is nothing like an N-frame in .45 ACP (and before somebody jumps on me and says the 25-13 is a Colt, not an ACP – I’ve had TK perform his magic on it, so it’s both). I’m almost afraid to find out what “bait” my FFL will have laying around when I go in to pick-up the 625-3 – when will it end? (Never, if I’m lucky). Adios, Pizza Bob

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you... and your loved ones! Thanksgiving is one of those rather unique holidays in that EVERY American can enjoy and partake in the tradition regardless of religious leanings, race, ethnicity, etc. I think that makes it one of those increasingly rare "unifying" and relatively non-controversial experiences in this country. So, take a moment to express gratitude to the loved ones who make your life richer... be thankful for your cozy, warm home (on what will be a very chilly Thanksgiving)… and savor your sumptuous Thanksgiving meal. If you're in a position to give to others, I personally find it to be a perfect day to sit down and write out a check to one or two worthy charities to help out others whose lives are less abundant. Oh, and if you're traveling to visit family or friends, please be very careful... traffic will (as usual) be totally bonkers. ENJOY!!

We are having Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday when some friends come up from Md. I am already baking. Made an apple fritter bread to have with coffee in the morning. Tomorrow I’ll start baking homemade bread, and maybe even some kolaches!

my back yard is lousy with tree rats, not elusive at all.

I’ll disagree slightly. I’ve always said don’t bring data to a knife fight. @Greenday isn’t looking to debate intellectually or learn anything. @greenday wants to be an irritant, a provocateur but not a scholar. I’ll spend no time trying to change that because that’s not what he/she wants. And perhaps change is unnecessary we can continue to disagree but we could debate in better fashion, one with good intentions. As mentioned earlier the primary intention here is to be an irritant. However I do enjoying toying with some of the more ridiculous attempts at making a point by Greenday. However I no way am attempting to get you to give up the noble pursuit.

LMFAO

Knowing you as I do, I will let you continue this "experiment". At some point he's gonna need some Special High Intensity Training to reverse "the damage". Perhaps a Rosey Range Day with a little history lesson on how things used to be & how messed-up they are now. Like when I was 12 years old my Dad gave me a $5 bill & I went into the K-Mart to buy a brick of .22's while he waited in the car with my younger siblings. Now I can't have my 57 year old wife buy me ammo since she doesn't have a Yellow Card!

stumbled across a safe worn, but minty inside saiga i couldn't not give a new home. stupid nics took 6 days shes gonna get converted with a g2/plate and thrown in some plum furniture, not sure what im doing for a brake though

I’m down. I have some 15-rd mags I can gift away. [emoji23]

This is the Democrat party's and Soros' strategy for the USA and the whole world. TV, "smart" phones, so-called social media, mass media brainwashing, cheap drugs. Keep you poor, stupid and wasted. Complete government dependency and passivity. Death to those who don't go along.

You're right. Cannabis should be legal at a federal level. Hopefully Trump fixes that mess.

drop your roach, burn your low income housing project down, not so victimless now we can turn your i carry a gun to shoot people argument right the hell around on you im willing to bet he voted early and often for phil

Not for Nuthin' (as we say in Jersey), but this instigator hasn't passed my "sniff test" since Day #1. Weed Man probably voted for Gov. Freestuff, the same A-hole providing us all with overzealous harassment 24/7/365! Every-so-often I lament that "there ought to be a rule" that only law abiding gun owners can post. THIS IS WHY^^^. If Weed Man filled-out a 4473 to become a gun owner, he LIED ON A FEDERAL FORM, therefore is a criminal. ----30----

It's ridiculous to you, in particular, Young Greenday, because the very concepts of "constitutional rights" and "law and order" are likely ranked pretty low on your list of core personal values. From what I've gathered, you're far more enamored and motivated by a more millennial values mindset (e.g., promoting "equality", banning "hate speech", combating "institutional racism", etc.) Although it's always possible your current values might be ingrained for life... I suspect, as you get a little older and get some life experience under your belt, your values may shift to the point where you hold a greater respect for those first 2 values mentioned. Just a guess on my part! (Based on my own journey...) In the meantime, learning to respect others' points of view and not labeling their values or arguments as "ridiculous" might be helpful. Why, who knows what wisdom you might gain if you tempered your knee-jerk dismissive arrogance just a bit?

No, The idea is one cannot protect oneself! I worked in newark and leaving work at 3AM was easy pickens. I was held up in MSG, had a 45 between the eyes, all I could do is raise my hands! Don't spout your shit about shooting someone!

On Black Friday Reloaderz is having an open house. We plan on visiting and will give a report. Friday, November 23, 2018 at 10 AM – 8 PM

Love ya, Zeke, no shit!

You’re both my favorite, I love you both equally. ( ya, no)

Just trying to help you out buddy...sheesh!

Nope

We'll be traveling to Kinnelon, NJ to be with our son & his wife & their family at her grandma's. They'll have a real wood fire going in the family room (Eagle Scouts can make a rip-roarin' BLAZE ). We're in charge of the green bean casserole & beer. We have one of those casserole keepers (think pizza delivery pouch), so we get "assigned" that task. I gave-away a 20# frozen turkey I won at a Turkey Shoot last month to the local Church Food Pantry. Felt good deliverin' it in my orange CNJFO sweatshirt with guns emblazoned on it My local Club (OBRPC) will be hosting their version of a Clays Shoot both on Friday AND Sunday. Non-members can attend, and there's usually a kid or two home for the Holiday that comes to enjoy it. I'm going to try and limit my computer time tomorrow so I can rest-up for the next big news breaking story. Friday I'll be making personal appearances at a new range or two. Sunday afternoon I'll be at a new Gun Shop. From my house to yours, may you all have a very safe & Happy Thanksgiving! Rosey

Eh, the wild turkeys I’ve eaten taste like crap. I’ll stick with butterball.

So your related to Sen Elizabeth Warren . Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Unless they like 'em lumpy.

Try these, nobody will know the difference.

Yea, some muzzle devices will give a big [emoji867] to the guys on your right and left. If you see one that has huge ports, like something that would be on a tank/artillery gun... it likely is going to make some noise. Good thing with a bolt action... if you hate it, can easily swap it (judging you aren’t using it to get to 16”). Bipods, I used to think they weren’t needed, until I started investing into my Remington. $1,000+ scope... do you really want to lay it on the bench/ground? Plus, you can still use them on bags... folder or deployed. A lot of benefit, and only real issue is cost. Good book on that stuff is the Long Range Shooting Handbook. Gives a lot of background on shooting, written by a former Army Ranger sniper. A good chunk of the costs for the book is donated to military charities, so it is a decent purchase.

Great read. Sometimes the time to buy is NOW. I am sure we will be seeing these wonderful revolvers in picture form.

You can make all kinds of kolaches. I like the jalapeño smoked sausage, but ham and cheese are good too! Some people put fruit and cheese in them. I’ll also be making a caramel pie, and an apple pie. Mrs Tex doesn’t trust me to make (her favorite) pumpkin pie, so that will be coming from a bakery.

I do not celebrate a day that glorifies the killing of my people and losing our lands to the invaders from Europe.

I’ll be peeling 5#’s of potato’s...

..... I'll be shopping.

My girls wanted a get-together. Thanks@diamondd817 !

And you will be changed for the better........... lol

Tar and feather the bastid...

The rehearing was today at 10 over in Philly.

Wars are won, one battle at a time. Some bigger than others. A couple weeks ago, I was advocating for GD to be banned, and had a solid argument for it too. But, I realized that was selfish of me. How can we, in good conscience, allow this poor misguided soul to go through life as a zombie when we have the cure right here.

That was my first impression. However, after much consideration, GD is just one of the brainwashed useful idiots. Since hes' joined, I have detected chinks in his libtarded armor. We are wearing him down, i.e. undoing some of the brainwashing he's received. Not much, but some very small holes. GD is having much difficulty reconciling what we discuss here with what has been stuffed down his throat during his formative years. I'm not saying we should go easy on him, just that we need to approach this kid with the understanding that he's a victim of the liberal machine. In a way, you could say he's brain damaged, but luckily for GD, this kind of damage is not irreversible. He just need the right treatment.

States rights man, we fought a war over it.

Maybe read the first post...?

Yet, there will still be liberal morons who will still vote for her.
