Re: OT - Handgun question, ...seeking opinions
Love those grips kimwcook! I bought mine new in 1992 and did all the modifications myself, pretty much what kimwcook posted. Love this gun, great shooter! Just recently had it added on my CCW and have been carrying it, it's been pretty way to long! http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d71/SeaOx/Colt/IM...

Re: Ot/ Another T/C contender question
I'll tell ya, I love the big and slow shooters but.... if you want a great little shooter for animals coyote sized and smaller and able to reach way out there the .204 Ruger is a fun little cartridge. It flies in the face of big and reletivly slow cartridges that most of us prefer though. Here's my ...

Re: Old Mod Ruger 357
Very nice! Love the old three screws. Like Joe, I have one with the short barrel but older.
They seem to be above average in the accuracy department which is probably due to the excellent trigger on most 3 screws.
