      How much does checkering help?

      Lots of good points here. Although the variance of opinions/preferences I think has made my decision of what to try even harder! I do know my hands sweat more than average.

      How much does checkering help?

      Good point clandestine, but I have zero intention of this being a carry gun... 8 round cylinder, 6.5" barrel, 51 ounces...

      How much does checkering help?

      So, what the two of you are saying is wood grips with checkering definitely gives more grip than without, but for function over looks, I would be best served to get the rubber grips? I just REALLY like the looks of the wood grips, but don't want to get them at the cost of function either..

      How much does checkering help?

      Hey guys, quick question. I am thinking about buying some Hogue wood grips for my Taurus 608 .357 revolver that I just bought. Question is this.. I like the looks of the kingwood with finger grooves but no checkering. How much does checkering really help with grip?

      22 Pistol Target Competitions??

      Sounds like a plan. Are the leagues inside/under cover? If its raining tomorrow morning, will there still be leagues going on?

      22 Pistol Target Competitions??

      Thanks fa18.. as you said though, seems especially in the 22 pistol stuff, pretty much anything goes? If I read correctly scopes are fine, and match style adjustable grips are fine, unlike the other calibers/classes? What kind of matches would a 22 be used in? Any good videos on youtube etc I...

      22 Pistol Target Competitions??

      Bigfoot.. I actually know twelfth precinct well.. I was just there this past weekend for a field archery shoot. I think I may very well join there. Do you know if the archery club is seperate from the gun club, or does being a memeber of one give you the same rights to both?

      22 Pistol Target Competitions??

      Anybody else have any info for me? I have done some more reading and gathered there are pretty much classes for everything from pretty much stock guns up through unlimited pretty much anything goes. I'm thinking I would like a MKII with a red dot type scope on it if that would put me into some...

      22 Pistol Target Competitions??

      I am just getting back into shooting pistols after being away from it for probably 15 years. My "main" hobby is target archery, and I have gotten quite good at it, so I am very used to very precise shooting. I just bought a Taurus 357 revolver to shoot, and would like to pick up a 22 to shoot...

      Where to buy Taurus 66 or 627??

      Well, I am HOPING that maybe I can go to the MVA tomorrow and pick up a change of address card. Not holding my breath though. If I can't get a card, maybe I will call On Target and see if I can do that.

      Where to buy Taurus 66 or 627??

      Well, I got the call today... ready for pick up. Went to go get it and the pickup turned into a hiccup.... I have just recently moved, and when I was filling out my paperwork, was told to use my new updated address. I informed the salesman that I hadn't had the opportunity to change my address...

      Where to buy Taurus 66 or 627??

      Damn, that pretty much sucks! I was told by several sales people (not at On Target), that if I got the 6" barrel I would be legal for hunting. I don't know enough of the technical aspects of things yet to have a grasp on the 700 ftlbs. So, there is no way I will be able to get there (with...

      Where to buy Taurus 66 or 627??

      Update.. I went to On Target last night, and will be going back next week to pick up my gun! I ended up deciding on one that wasn't really ever on my list to try. Hopefully I made the right decision. I held the 627 Tracker first. Didn't really like the feel of it. It was light and I didn't like...

      Where to buy Taurus 66 or 627??

      Hhmm.. I am going away for the weekend, but may have to make a trip down there early next week. I am not interested in a blued frame, but could at least get a feel for it.

      Where to buy Taurus 66 or 627??

      Was there something you didn't like about it, or did you just not need it anymore etc?

      Where to buy Taurus 66 or 627??

      I was refering to the Taurus 627.. it's the Tracker model.. smaller/lighter frame, with a ported barrel.

      Where to buy Taurus 66 or 627??

      I want the handgun for 3 purposes.. number one target shooting, number two home defense, and number three possibly hunting (hence the 6" barrel). I don't ever intend to carry. It will be my second handgun. I had a Ruger .22 target pistol years ago, that I now wish I had kept. The 627 carries 7...
