Confession of a Big Dawg

[HiCap1]

I love my G-30. But sometimes I carry a 640 Smith with 110 gr. .357's. Love those revolvers. Just bought a Ruger SP-101 wit a 3 1/16" barrel. Double action without lighter springs give a very credible performance at poppers. I feel very comfortable with both wheel guns.

But I don't stray too long. For the same weight, six more rounds plus the ability to reload ten more easily makes me come back home.

love my g30 but there is just something awesome about the feeling i get with a .357mag in my hand. makes ya feel real confident.

i will go back to my g30 when it gets hot and HUMID again and i cant carry my .357 OWB. i go with the g30 IWB.

There's something very comforting, and nostalgic, about a .357 Magnum revolver ... ;)

My Quad-Ported SP-101 DAO can be fired as fast as you can cycle the trigger, with virtually no muzzle rise, using regular 125gr Magnum loads. Still rearward recoil, which is very manageable, but hardly any noticeable muzzle rise due to the porting, which keeps it right on target.

I don't carry it very often, as I also yield to the allure of having 8-16 pistol rounds available before a reload is necessary. How in the world did I ever survive on patrol with only a wheel gun for all those years??? :)

Uh.... Nothing nostalgic about the .357 here. My agency arms us with Smith 686s w/ Trijicon sights. They are stoked with Winchester 145gr Silvertips. No complaints from the troops. My back-up is a Ruger SP101 .357 w/ spurless hammer. When I am off-duty, my Ruger .357 backs up my G30 :)

Nothing wrong with STHP in .357, brother.

.45 hurts your ears less, though.

Hey HiCap, I carry my S&W 442 and 586 Plus 3" quite a bit too. I'll always be a Big Dawg at heart!;) :) ;f

[Poohgyrr]

The Smith Centennial is a great little revolver. Ahmmm, some folks have even been known to carry one as a backup ;)..

You could be in lots worse company.;c ;c

Eddie C., I too carry a 640 with an Express front site with tritium (from the factory, yet). Smoothe, but I do like the SP-101 3". G30 in dowtown ____ at nite, if in a suit. Dodge City.
