I am in agreement with you!!

It comes out to 947.19 after tax. I'm leaning.....

S&W Performance Center Thunder Ranch

Anyone have any experience with them? I found the V-Comp .357 8-shot revolver for $850 +tax, and one of the .45ACP's (6 shot) for $825 +tax.

I'm intrigued by both of them. I'm digging the .357 due to the weight, how it feels in my hand, the 5" barrel, and having 8 shots. I'm also leaning toward the .45ACP because I've never seen a revolver in that caliber before, and because I already shoot a lot of .45, so it wouldn't be a big deal to feed it.

I'd like the .357.....it's got good weight and the end of the barrel is ported, so it should be controllable. AND, if I feel the need, I could run .38 Special through it. Also, for such a large frame, all the controls (ie. the hammer, the cylinder release) are right there. No wiggling my hand around to operate it.

Anyways, I posted this so I could see if anyone has any experience with them, and to get some first hand impressions.

I think it may be time to add another wheel gun to the stable, I got rid of my Taurus M85s to a friend of mine who wanted something his wife could shoot comfortably.
