Bigger holes.

Not sure I'll like the grips, but easy enough to swap out.


I really wanted a .45 LC, but they're not easy to find in double
action,
and the ammo is more expensive.




Interesting move. I like the ACP but it is really a semi auto round.
If I was going for a wheel gun I would go for .41 mag or maybe one of
those .45 LC/.410 "Judge" type guns. They are D/A.
Even a .357 is pretty formidable with the ammo that is available now.
That one has the advantage of training with a .38 wadcutter far
cheaper than a full service round. I still have a large frame Colt
that will shoot just about anything in the .38/357 class but that is
not a concealed carry piece. It has very large custom grips that were
made for my hand back when guys did that sort of thing.
That is the gun I used to shoot almost every day when I had the range
in the basement.

I get a kick out of letting people try my S&W 627. I load it with
alternating .38 Special and .357 Magnum rounds and make sure I set the
cylinder so the first one that fires is a .38 Special. The second
shot almost always gets a "Holy ****!"
