Smith & wesson R8.....I love mine

I've been looking for one. I see the TRR8 pop up occasionally but cant seem to get my hands on the R8

Same gun, Trr8 has removable rails, r8 does not

I know they could probably be changed later on, but I like the sights on the R8 over the TRR8.

Sights aren't fixed on either gun, change them as you see fit.

 

To my knowledge , they both have the stock gold bead front

I got mine at riflegear

I have two guns chambered in 9 x 18 (Makarov). Haven't checked the ammo inventory for a while but no failures of any kind in, I'd estimate, 1600 rounds. Lucky? CZ 82 and an E. German Makarov. The former is beat up and unsellable but totally reliable; the latter almost perfect. 

 

Classic firearms has some Bulgarian Maks for really good prices. 

 

But if I were you I'd try a wheel gun. .357. You won't be sorry. You can shoot relatively cheap .38 sp +P. They fulfill every possible application IMHO. 

 

It's probably too late though. You've undoubtedly purchased another semi-auto.

Haven't purchased anything yet.  I'm on the fence between letting the permit expire and getting a wheel gun.

Really?

Why would you let a permit that takes forever to get expire ? Lol

I betcha that if you get a wheel gun youre gonna want more. Thats really what youre afraid of.

Might as well just get an Extar EXP 556 then

If "revolver would be strictly a range toy" - get new Ruger GP100 in 0.22.  It is an expensive one though.  Or S&W 617.

Ruger Mark II or III.

+1 on the Ruger mark III
