get teh 23. if i knew how smooth it shot, i would have gone with the 40 instead of the 9. i just figured the 40 would be too hot to handle well in a small frame.

I've got a 22C and like it very much. It's got virtually every after market part made stuffed in it. I can't tell you that all of the parts are worthwhile but I can tell that a mercury filled guide rod in a ported Glock makes it a real pussy cat to shoot. I can also easily recommend LightningStrike's metal trigger assembly. It's much smoother than the plastic Glock setup. I'll definitely get a 23 but I'm pretty well determined to get a SP101 and then send it off to a particular smith. He does phenomenal work. He turns it in to a bobtailed, slab side. I'm pretty much a S&W guy when it comes to the looks of a revolver but this is without question the prettiest little CCW revolver I've ever seen. I know that it won't appeal to everyone but this one turns my crank. It's the one on the bottom. You can compare it to the shorter barreled before version above it. Notice the front fiber sight and the edge de-burring. It's slick. :D

Note: This isn't mine but I would like one just like it. This gentleman has good taste, he's given me the name of the Smith that did this for him (upgrades @$300).

I have a smith .38 stainless, hammerless 5 shot. rated for +P+.

Is that the ruger speed 6 ? If so, that's the first gun I bought. Great gun, didnt care what you would feed it.

It's a Ruger SP101 but only holds 5 rounds, I believe the one on top is a GP100 but don't quote me on that. It will shoot anything from .38 Special to Plus P's to 357's. They also make this gun in a .327, .32 and in just a .38 Special though I don't know why one would limit themselves when the .357 would do this and more. I also have a couple of snubby Smith's one is a 5 shot .38 Smith and Wesson. This caliber is kind of a dinosaur. I like my S&W's very much but I really like this little revolver.
 
the speed 6 was the predicessor to the gp100. it was a .357 stainless. but then again that was 1075 or 1976.
 
I have enjoyed going to the range and also shootin skeet. We don't own one, but some day I would like to get one. I would feel very uncomfortable having one in the house, without some kind of safety training, etc. Thanks for all the posts! We love a lively discussion around here!

It's not just the safety training, it's going to different ranges and gaining profeciency and a comfort level.

Can I start posting stories of people who were "accidentally" killed by:

Automobiles
Knives
Baseball bats

The list could go on and on. It's the operator, not the tool. Cut your finger off with a Skil saw and no one blames the saw.

Just sayin'.
