Pistol #5 (the replacement for the other Pistol #5 I just sold) arrived
at my LGS today, and I got to fondle it before it went back into the
dealer's safe for five to seven days (the vagaries of handgun purchasing
in Maryland).

The new #5 is a Smith & Wesson SW22 Victory, a .22LR "target" pistol, a
relatively new model for S&W. Brought along a few spent shells so I
could play with the trigger a little. The trigger is nice and crisp and
I'm guessing a 3 to 3.5 pound pull, stock. Fiber optic sights and
according to the spec sheet, the pistol weighs 36 ounces, so it is about
six ounces lighter than the Ruger Mark III I just sold. Has a threaded
barrel. I bought it so I'd still have a pistol that would mate with my
suppressor.

I should be able to pick it up next Tuesday or Wednesday, and I'll take
some snaps of it.

Handgun #6 is two to three weeks away from shipping. It's a .22LR revolver.
