Well guys... it's official.



I was waiting on word from the dealer on the status of the owner's order and it has been confirmed, so my order was placed.

I also placed an order for a Colt Python 357. Just in case.

Jason: Teflon coated hollow points. They will cause minor discomfort.

Congrats !

But I'd switch the Python 357 for a S&W 500. You see, bullett energy is like horsepower: you never have enough...

Bullet energy should be more like huge brakes....LOTS of stopping power. Teflon coated isn't a good idea, read "Blackhawk Down". If you are going to stick with the .357, I would change to hollow point. But the best for the job would be pretty much any .40. Lots of stopping power, but not so much power that the person hit doesn't realize they were hit. THEN you stagger your rounds (ex. metal jacket, hollow point, metal jacket, etc.) Fire the first round and let the person trying to steal your car know that the next one is hollow point. They may even lay down and cry until the police show up.

George, congrats,

357 is a little much for me in the C&C mode. I prefer the Speer 135 grain +P 38SPL, specifically designed for NYPD in their backup snub nose 38 SPLs. It's no 357, but it will leave a bad skin rash.

I'll just take a Mustang for protection or for back-up [P-51 that is].

Personally, I'd opt for the .44 magnum. But that's just me.

I estimate +/- $1,600 over invoice, KBB excellent condition trade in value for the GT, $399 car wash also known as the dealer handling fee, plus the difference in sales tax, tag, and title.

codeman94: it's coupe, torch red, black charcoal/black charcoal interior, performance white stripes, and premium interior trim package.

Hey, I didn't know you were going for the red with white stripes!





"But officer, I just washed the car and had to 'dry it off.' I was only doing 60mph above the posted limit."
