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.

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

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.

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.

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

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