OT - New (to me) Guns

Post by **Hobie** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 4:47 pm

Well, I've had some money paid back, come home, whatever and I've been having some things come to the last couple of months. So...

I got a S&W 642, S&W 25-2, and a Colt Cobra. The Cobra is almost too nice to carry or shoot!

There's a couple more out there but who knows if they will come through. Anyway, if you can't shoot them much, just buy them. Gotta get my fix somehow!

That Cobra is a beauty, and I like the Smith for a carry piece. Nice additions! Jim

Three really great carry guns Hobie! I love that 25-2 S&W!!!! Lots of power in a nice compact size!

Not sure what a S&W 25, & compact have to do with each other, but I agree it's one heck of a gun! Here's my "pre" 25:

Hobie,
Looked at your guns, nice.
But I was more impressed by your quote from T.R.
It is my favorite quote from him.
Can you imagine a man like T.R. alive today?
He would send these parasites packing, and reinstate a sense of pride; that has been sorely lacking!

I am glad you noted "almost" to nice to shoot! Looks like you have been busy!

Congrats, Hobie, especially on the 25-2. I have three of them and they are my favorite revolver. Wicked accurate with the right loads, and that's most of them. Back in the day (20 yrs ago) I could nail 12 oz soda cans at 75 yds pretty much 9/10 or 10/10 with the first one I bought.
