I have been shooting for almost 50 years now. I've bought and sold many handguns in that time. Yes the ones I sold I'm sorry I did. I like almost any type of handgun, in all that time I have never even held a Taurus let all buy one. I was told to stay away from them , so I did. My favorites are the Colt 1911's series 70 of course and the
Smith & Wesson revolvers the older ones,
And it took me many years to come around to the polymer guns but I have and do favor the Glocks. Let's not for forget the Single actions also. Just recently I walking in to buy some mags for a Ruger 10/22 for my granddaughter and the guy saw me and went in the back and came out with a
S&W Model 19-3 Pinned and recessed snub nose 2 1/2 in. In near mint condition, said he just got it in. It came with the original box and paperwork.I didn't hesitate for a second. Yes I know the 4" is probably a better shooter but the snub has to cool factor. My granddaughter also loves it knowing it will be her's one day.
