"Severe restrictions" is like Romney saying he's a "severe

Try to pay attention to the threads you start. This is all about an
existing law in New Jersey and a proposed federal law that would make
virtually every handgun in America illegal.
It sounds pretty severe to me.



Speaking of handguns...

I got a box of "real deal" .357 mag rounds (as opposed to the somewhat
lighter Blazer aluminum case .357 rounds I had), and shot 18 of them.
Got 11 of 'em within the circle at 50 yards, and got close enough to the
center to scare it. The other seven probably are still in low earth
orbit (that's just a joke, morons...)

Wonderful sounds, even wearing earplugs *and* muffs. Recoil and muzzle
flip not too bad, thanks to the avoirdupois of the revolver, I suppose,
and the "rubber" grips. I wouldn't want to shoot this piece with wood
grips. Well, not often.



The S&W 627 I had (5" barrel) had wood grips. My wife shot a whole box
of brass .357 magnum rounds through it. She didn't complain. Actually,
she liked it. It was the first time in her life that she ever held or
fired a handgun. She started out with my Ruger SR22 thinking that's all
she'd be interested in because she never liked even holding a handgun.
Next she tried the 38 Special and then the Walther 380. When it came
time to try to 627 she was all over it. Expensive tastes.


Are you trying to say that Mrs. Luddite is tougher than Harry Krause?

Was there any doubt in your mind?

You two racist assholes are *so* deserving of each other. You should
join up with w'hine in rec.boats.cruising and help him destroy what
little is left of that newsgroup.

Are you in Gettysburg, Johnnymop? Did you take your guns to town there?

She did very well. I later learned from more experienced shooters that
women are often very good at hitting the target due to their weight
distribution. Men are typically much heavier from the waist up and
holding steady aim can be more difficult. Same deal with standing with
your back against a wall and then trying to bend over to pick up
something that's below your waist (like a chair). A guy can't do it
without falling forward, but a woman can bend over, pick up the chair
and stand back up.

Haven't tried wood grips. My .357 came with Hogue rubber grips, and I
bought the Hogue "Tamer" grips which look pretty much the same but have
a chunk of blue rubber going down the backside of the grip on the
inside. It definitely absorbs more of the recoil.

I never felt that the recoil was that bad on the 627. It's a heavy gun.

The Smith weighs an ounce less than my .357, and that weight helps, and
so does the long, heavy barrel and full underlug, at least with muzzle
flip. The recoil, as I stated, is not too bad.

Shooting .38 specials through it is like shooting .22s in my Ruger
target semiauto...no noticeable recoil, no real muzzle flip. Plus the
..38 specials are about $16 for a box of 50, still overpriced, but not as
badly as the .357s.

I only have one pistol with rubber grips on it and that's my .357, and the only reason I have them on it is because I couldn't stand Dan Wesson "Combat" (Why they call them that, I don't know" grips that came with the pistol.

It mad the handle fat and had a large flare at the bottom, it had nothing but an uncomfortable feel to it even with my large hands. So I swapped it out.

The 'combat' grip is the one on the left and 'standard' on the right.. You can see what I'm talking about.

My wife shoots as well, if not better, than I do. If she spent a little more time shooting, she'd be

Those wood grips are a lot prettier than the rubber ones, for sure.
Well, I don't know if they are actually rubber. Feels like it, but could
be a synthetic. Tried a .357 with rubber grips and wood inserts...not bad.
