Thanks for the link

I quite enjoyed it. He gave a good mix of commentary and actual shooting. Nice history too. I'm going to look up some more of his videos and see if he has any more of this "caliber."

This video gave me the hankering for a S&W 1917, even though my 625 is probably the superior gun. We'll see how it pans out.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying it.

I'm thinking about doing one on some vintage Colt DAs...maybe a reprise of the New Service along with a Diamondback and a Trooper .357.
