[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5066187, member: 12277"] I got a new single action back in May of last year. An Uberti Stallion in 38 Special. It's a nice compact scaled down copy of the Single Action Colt that would normally be chambered in 22 LR only. I can shoot it at 4 cents a shot using 4.0 grains of Red Dot powder and 125 Grain cast bullets from 30 cents/lb lead. It has just the right amount of recoil to feel like a real gun and at the price I can shoot it a lot. At least 6,000 times then I'm out of small pistol primers. :( I also got a S&W M&P EZ Slide 380 for the wife and daughter. Don't have a photo of it but it does the job as advertised for someone with small weak hands. Very easy to shoot. They hate my LCP but love the EZ. They were surprised to learn they both shoot the same cartridge. Last I got a Glock 44 about the end of January. Price on it wasn't too pleasant but it was available and i wanted a gun I could practice with cheaply that felt like my main carry pistol. I carry a Glock 27 and the 44 feels very much like it. Same square blocky feel, same spongy heavy cap pistol trigger. :) It's not a great gun to shoot but I got the Glock for it's simplicity and reliability which is absolutely required for a carry gun. Having a rimfire practice gun that is for all purposes identical is a great way to get good with the gun that may save your life some day. I've gotten more handgun practice in since I bought the 44 than in the last several years. I can go shoot 50 or 100 22 LRs any time I want with no thought to cost. [/QUOTE]
