Spent the last 4 days at the SHOT show in Las Vegas Handled Lots of different a hand guns from lots of different manufactures. I really like the New Ruger LCR 3in adjustable sight 38 spl said that they well be coming out with a 4 in one should weigh in at about 18oz. And a 357 mode that would make a great back backing gun.

They had a 4 inch flat barrel GP100 they way the grips were and with this barrel remaindered me of my Security Six handled well.

Handled the Taurus newest Curve not a conventional style but I could see a use for it. I told the rep that I thought that momentary switch for the light/laser would be a good idea in stead of just an on off switch.

Looked at the new Glocks with the factory installed red dot sights milled into the slide seems to point and handled well.

Nice to have the option available I thought a higher front and rear sight would be nice to be able to index the open sights through the red dot.

lots of other nice guns there also.

This Thread Is Useless Without Pictures.

Actually, the coment was directed more in the vein of "4 days at SHOT" and the LCR was the only thing that caught your eye?

Person of the female persuasion who runs a fashion blog has over 300 pictures of the fashions exhibited. And she purposely skips the gimmie-hats and branded t-shirts.

I'm hoping that after your curiosity was statisfied by the LCR you spent the rest of your time on hookers, blow, slots and backjack. :p

stay safe.

There was lots of stuff most of it the same old stuff who needs another picture of the 50
Glocks or another 1911 there were probably 30 1911 makers there along with 50 plus AR makers ,

The trick was finding the new and unusual among all the same.

What surprised me was all the suppressor manufactures there were a lot of them and night vision many of those also
