Hoss Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thinking about gettig a pocket pistol for side matches. More shooting = more fun! I rarely see anythig sutable at the local toy stores or gun shows, but I've been keeping my eye peeled. Any particular thing I should look for, or any maker I should stay away from?

Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 They came in 32 S&W and 38 S&W. I like 38 S&W because you can use the same bullets to reload as you use for your 38/357. The bore size of 38 S&W is really .360 but .358 is close enough for a side match. Condition is more important than brand. I've had Smith & Wesson, Forehand, Iver Johnson and H&R. Of course Smith & Wesson is probably the best. Gunbroker is a good place to look for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Dick, SASS #12880 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Smith and Wesson is the best, H&R and Iver Johnson are good. There may be some other good brands but there are some real dangerous junkers out there as well. If you take the time and spend the money to get a good S&W, you'll never regret it. Some of these guns were made well into the 20th century and the later ones will have better steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
