The best bet in assuring you have the ammo you want is reloading. It's cheaper and you can make ammo the way you want it. You can "tune" your ammo to perform the way you want it to perform out of your firearms. The initial overhead is expensive since you need to buy all the components, but it pays for itself in the end. Keep your brass and reload your ammo in that. Brass is the most expensive part of the cartridge anyway. Once you've used that brass several times, buy more factory ammo and save that brass. Rinse and repeat.

I would say that's a fair price. The last gun show I was at I saw blued Pythons of various barrel lengths ranging from $1300-$1700. I guess I'll have to wait to see IF Colt ever decides to bring them back. Until then, I have all my S&W revolvers (too many to count on one hand) to keep me company.

I normally don't like guns in anything but blue, but how much are you asking for the Python?

Hey guys, this is my first post on the forum, so I thought I'd start off if the Gun Talk thread. I just added another revolver to my collection. This one I got on GunBroker: It's a 1895 Nagant. This one was made in 1944. I'm kind of excited about it. Here is a link I found for .32 S&W on Cheaper Than Dirt. .32 S&W The prices for it are pretty good, considering it's an uncommon cartridge.

I was selected as a navigator in college and also as a pilot alternate, which means they sent me to Brooks. We got the same "98% make it through here" speech. Unfortunately, I was one of the 2% and lost the possibility of becoming a pilot. I was also close to losing my nav slot. When I went to Brooks there were three individuals, out of rougly 20, who were going to be DQed from pilot. One was for depth perception and the other two (I was one of the two) had color vision problems. I still have my nav slot, which I'm in the middle of training, but I remember all the personnel there were secretive about everyone's results. Leaving Brook's there were a lot of people who were unsure of what the status of their physical was. I found it very frustrating that they wouldn't let you know how you were doing medically (ultimately they collect the data and then flight surgeons will decide if you are fit to fly), so just be aware of that when you go.
