So, the Henry Big Boy 357 Carbine with side gate loading is out of stock for the forseeable future that I was jonesing for - I'm sure I'll get one someday -
In the interim, I have a 10/22 Takedown that my wife absolutely loves to shoot (who doesnt love shooting a 10/22?) and I hate to have 'lonely onlys' that people can't enjoy as a pair - Rarely go shooting by myself anyway - so I think I may want to pick up another - Basic wood stocked version with blued barrel and receiver is just under $300 - for another $140 I can have this version- I think its worth it, just for the exclusivity factor, If I'm going to spend money I might as well spend it on 'special editions' - thoughts? Rustic being the M1 design and modern being in a 10/22 rimfire -
Which brings me to revolvers - Colt King Cobra Target 4" is one of my dream revolvers (Really its the new Python but having a young child its hard to justify) - I have a Taurus 605 in stainless which treats me well and I really enjoy it - A S&W 642 Pro Series for when I want to pocket carry, and my wifes grandfather's model 66 which he passed down to me (I have to polish it up some but its in great shape)
A less expensive 6-shot 38 came to mind - and since my Taurus experience has been positive I am loving this Tungsten version of the 856 Defender, 3" barrel and beautiful Altamont wood grips - the grips themselves are $60 normally - Modern version of the 6 shot revolver with the front night sight and Cerakote finish -
Am I crazy to be spending north of $400 each on a 6-shot 38 and a 10/22, even if they both are "special" or limited runs? I think these are special enough to pass on to my son someday (if he has the interest and as I alluded to in other threads), not heirlooms, but special runs of popular models.
