I meant to ask what's the story on the 3inch Parole Board revolver? Seems like a neat piece.
It is...I was at Adventure Outdoors, back when they were in the smaller building up the street. They'd just gotten a shitload of model 64s in, mostly 4-inch sq butt, but a few were 3" RB. I'd just sold my 13-3 3" RB (pinned and recessed) and wanted a stainless 3"RB, but not in .38 Especial. All of these things were marked "GA Parole Board", and as I dug through the pile I noticed ONE was a .357, but the tag was the same as all the others. Same price, too. I think it was $230, so I snagged it.
It's my last .357Mangleumm, and -to me- the perfect version. I never liked how pinned barrels would sometimes move, and how recessed chambers collect crap.
Of course, I don't shoot full-bore .357 158gr 1350fps stuff through this K frame like I (stupidly) did the other one!
So I've got a gun that was carried by a member of a group that's put more felons on the streets than MS-13! How about that.
