S&W model 637 .38 Special +p rated Airweight

Nagants aren't worth much and the S&W is a nice revolver.
I got a S&W 637 a year or two ago. I carry it as a back up most days.
If you opt to carry in an ankle holster, Nevada Gunleather makes a good, very comfortable sheepskin lined, leather one. Mine has held up to rugged, almost daily use.
The Mosins that I traded were pretty beat up and definatly not top grade (although they were good shooters). I would not have done it for any of my real good Mosins as they are in very good shape and are great shooters.
I really am not a revolver guy but I was carrying my Taurus .38 for the summertime and wanted something lighter to stick in my pocket. This thing is definatly light enuff to fit that bill.
heck your a thief, i'd be worried it was hot[:D]
It is not hot. I know the guy I got it from through a friend who is a cop. Or else I may had thought the same thing.[;)]
Personally I would rather have the Mosin's. The range on the S&W's sucks in comparison.
true, and with the mosin you could spear the guy from fifteen feet away.

it was a joke[:)]
Nice gun. You have my permission to throw the lock away.
It looks like the department of redundancy department at S&W felt like the stupid and unnecessary hole in the sideplate wasn't enough to save American Children from the Awful Scourge of Handgun Deaths, so they threw in another lock to be sure.
Unless the guy who sold you that pistol gave you the lock. In which case you should pop him in the nuts with it.
In my opinion.
Bring that thing down here next time.
Will do. Are you going to be home in the morning? I have to be at the VA tomarrow (12pm appt.) but I have to come right back home after the appt. due to my boy having a baseball game. But if you will be home I'll come by early.
