New 29-3, and Walmart trip

glenncal1 · February 28, 2011, 08:37 PM

A local pawnshop was selling this gun on GB, since it was local and went for a reasonable price (w/box and docs, no tools) I bought it. Was expecting a nice condition shooter. Picked it up today, this is about a 98% gun with a faint turn ring and the tiniest little wear marks at the muzzle. The bluing in this gun is second only to my 27. Also TT TH that they didn't metion in the ad. I am a happy camper. These pictures dont do the gun justice at all.

Just for fun I even carried it to Walmart to buy some ammo for it. 6" N Frames are not the best CCW guns

.. My sincerest appologies

Likely story. . .

Truth be told, I wonder if I really want to start loading for another caliber.

I shot a Dan Wesson Pointman9 last week and I have to tell you I REALLY like it.

I know. . .I know. . .get both. Decisions decisions

The shop I frequent does not have a ,500 of any flavor. They DO have a .460.

There again. . .another caliber.

I spent all day today loading up 22-250 and .308 for a trip to the range in the morning to GET RID OF MY ANXIETY, thanks to you.

You can rest well knowing that you are driving a wedge between me and my credit card. . .

gotta be interesting to touch of a full house .500 with a 4" barrel even if it is ported.

I shot my friends "shorty" .500 with the ported barrel & it was fun. Although, I only fired a cylinder full

DiscoRacing · March 1, 2011, 06:57 AM

Well.... I umm... I dont like shooting 44mag anymore like I used to before my 460/500 transformation.

Gleencal1. Congrats on your purchase. That is a beautiful firearm. Thanks for sharing.

I have a Stainless 28-2...also a 6 inch N Frame. The ONLY way I can carry it at all is in a shoulder rig. So...I don't carry it much. I think I've gone out packing that thing like once.

Right time, right place - congrats!
