Mossberg 590S #51602 without question. Designed from the ground up to cycle the 1.75" shells with no adapter needed. That's 13+1 capacity of #4 buckshot without reloading. Enter without being invited. You'll be exiting probably without knowing.
There is no wait in Texas for anything unless one has to do the NICS check and gets put on a hold on it. There is a requirement to report multiple handgun purchases within 7 days. So John Doe is going to buy one of each model (insert brand here). He can buy them all and take them all home at...
Well, I'm prejudiced toward Ruger so I'd go with a 5050 Redhawk .45 Auto or one of the dual cylinder SA's with a 9mm cylinder or a bolt action in 5.56. And I've always wanted a Remington 870 Marine Magnum as they are just BEAUTIFUL. Also a major fan of Henry after a CS experience where they went...
Odd looking and the best of any J frames available. I have the SS version. It's one of the never going anywhere list. Just ordered the 1774 GP100 a few hours ago. Not a J frame but another awfully nice smallish revolver. Congrats on your new adoptee. It's a nice one.
Ordered the 1774 GP100, Mika pocket holster, 5 Star speedloader and pouch and Hogue Tamer grip. That's next year's handgun. Not sure what next year's long gun will be but probably a .22lr lever gun.

Yes, but those will fit in the carry pocket. Anything over 8"OAL would limit the flap closing. So OAL gets the nod in my case. The S&W 629DLX is a strong suspect and according to the S&W website is 6.83" OAL which is wrong I'm certain. According to Genitron.com in their extensive database it is...
Yeah, sadly that one doesn't hold a candle to yours for looks. And no comp or port or whatever this week's terminology is for me. It would have to be identical. But I'm after more capacity within an 8" OAL limitation. The 627PC, 686+ and 629DLX being the S&W contenders and SRH Alaskan and GP100...
Recoil is my mortal enemy. I actually want weight to offset it. And the 329 is much too long OAL as well. There's an 8" OAL hard limit for my carry option.
I'd definitely have to run some rounds through it to be confident carrying it but that's true of any of them. Ruger is definitely good but the only ones that meet all the requirements are the 2.5" GP100 and the SRH Alaskan, the SRH actually better on OAL.
Well, the Redhawk .357 which might have held a slight lead is out. The OAL won't work. I currently carry an SP101 and have for a while, definitely not as heavy but not light by any means either. The problem with a J frame is capacity. I ideally want 8 rounds with 7 being somewhat more common...
Thanks for the good input. Logical me agrees on all that. Illogical me wants the RH in either the .357 or my first .44. May have to split the difference and go with the RH .357 for the easier and less expensive shooting plus one more round. We'll see.
I plan to be. I'm studying now and accumulating kit and kaboodle with the intent of starting to reload some time next year when I feel I know enough to do it competently and have some brass fired from my guns to reload.
And I think I'm narrowing down to a .357 choice to not add a new caliber...
