Morning, muchachos.

Morning Raz

Howdy, Tex. All my friends were jumping on that S&W deal over the weekend. I was sorely tempted, but my next 9mm is going to be a Glock 19, and I have enough Cabela's points that it'd cost me the same cash outlay as the Shield. So I managed to resist temptation.

The Shields best price range 6 months ago was $379-399 so that is a great deal.  One of the better feeling guns for its small size.  I scream BS on Bean's suggestion of jamming being a wide spread issue, I have read a dozen or more professional  reviews and not a single one indicated  any significant issue regarding function, one did bring one up but found the damn thing had never been lubed and was dry as a bone.  My son has fired a few hundred rounds through his and never a failure to cycle, only feeds it Speer Ammo.  That said every maker has a bad one get out once in a while and as long as they take care of it then that is just real life. S&W actually has a pretty damn good warranty program. 

 I bought a brand new Colt .357 Python back in the late 70's and the damn thing had a .38 special cylinder in it.  Colt was quite embarrassed but took care of it, just wish I had not gotten bored with it and sold the damn thing.

Yeah, I wasn't concerned about potential operating issues. But just couldn't see much real purpose to buying it beyond "it's a great deal." I know, I know...bizarre manifestation of rational behavior.

Everyone who ever owned a Python is kicking themselves for letting it go. I've lusted for one for a long time but since I turned 21 back in the 80's they have always seemed to cost more than I could or wanted to pay.  They are beautiful guns, although I'll blaspheme and say that if I had to fight with a revolver I'd prefer a Smith. The Colt cylinder release spooks me.

People pay stupid amounts of $ for them these days, I have had a Python and multiple model 27's and now doubt prefer the 27's thus still own one.

I would have bought a Shield at that deal but it is a 9mm and that is just not really my thing, nor do I have any need for another carry gun .

Thought about that but he was here earlier and this happened yesterday.  That said, he could be next.

Sure as hell did, was a girl.

FAIRFIELD, Conn.—  The death of a 20-year-old college student who competed in a pancake-eating contest last week in Connecticut may have been the result of choking or a food allergy, among the many dangers associated with competitive eating.

Caitlin Nelson, a junior majoring in social work, died Sunday at a New York City hospital, three days after participating in the contest at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, The Associated Press reports.
