    Both of course! I have a 686 already so the conversion makes sense. But how much $$ are the speedloaders? Korth is rather proud of their stuff..

    Yeah, the korth 9mm L frame speed loaders are definitely unique/proprietary and most likely expensive.

    I think I'm going to just stick with the 3 547's I already own (2 4" and one 3"). I had been considering selling one to buy a korth conversion. But, now, I'm like, naaah.

    Well, it did take 20 years to acquire them.

    I also HAD a 940 2" and still DO HAVE a 3" 940 (extremely rare, only a few hundred made and most people, even S&W collectors don't know about them)

    I have been collecting stuff since I was a teenager. My Mom (super awesome) gave me my first handgun (a Glock 20 10mm for bears and for a psycho abusive father with an ineffective/ignored DVRO). Back then there was no CCW, and I was a teenager anyways so I open carried, but it's Alaska so I never had an issue. Just in case though I did actually have a permission note from my "Mommy" that was notarized. Seriously. I was a teenage kid open carrying a 10mm Glock around town with a Mom says it's ok note!!

    Once, my tire blew out and I was on my way to meet my mom (at a gun shop actually!!). This was before cell phones. I flagged an APD cop down and he took my gun off me but then gave me a ride to the gun shop and dropped me off to meet my mom. We talked guns the whole way. At the time APD was just issuing G21's and he asked why I went with the "exotic" 10mm. I said bears and 2 more rounds!! He was like yeah ok makes sense.

    HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

    It took many years to find some of the parts and pieces I have.
