    They aren’t bad at all. Good solid N frame. I just like Pythons.
    And really a Model 65 is a Model 10 on steroids. Same exact profile with heavy barrel but .357.

    Of course I live and die by the FBI load .38. Preferably by Buffalo Bore. I even hog with it from time to time. That LSWCHP is no joke.

    I know, I have the 13, blued 65, that came all the way back from Australia!

    I don't dislike the snakes I just can't get over the rib. Otherwise the full length underlug reminds me of an L frame.

    I'm doing the spare parts thing. Wear items and what not.

    I'd love more guns but then I consider parts availability. AR and Glock parts are plentiful and fairly cheap these days. BCGs, pins, extractors, springs, etc. 2 is 1, 1 is none. I have other guns I like to shoot but using the Sandy Hook panic as a reference, I'm ensuring I have the backup parts I couldn't find back then. 400 bucks for a spare BCG is not something I'm ever going to have to consider.

    Ammo is cheap as hell right now. Stack it deep.

    I'm not man on a mission with stocking up but I grab stuff here and there. It adds up.

    I always felt the triggers stacked on the Colt's.

    I'd like to find a nice S&W Model 15.

    Decent list to get started with spares for the AR platform.

    Like some and unlike many, I started stocking weapons and ammo many years ago. I do not need to panic buy anything. I also have more than enough ammo for each caliber of the weapons I own. I used to urge buddies of mine to stock up on ammo. That was when prices were really cheap. Well, they chose not to do so and missed out on the opportunities. It was not until some years later that they wanted to start buying ammo in bulk and it ended up costing a considerable amount more. Planning is essential and you DO NOT wait until the last minute or wait until panic buying starts. There is an old saying, "the early bird catches the worm".
