A side benefit of getting taken by all the nice shiny new options is some actually ARE better than the older choices out there. I don't mind a good revolver-- I've got a super red-hawk 44 that will knock out a clay bird off-hand every time at 100 yards with select lead bullet hand-loads using blade sights. [/QUOTE]
