Ruger makes the LCR in .32 caliber, now , ya' know ! :) Steer him THAT way, and he can then upgrade to 32 S&W , 32 S&W long, 32 H&R Magnum, or .327 Fed Magnum, without having to buy another gun . I wouldn't plan on shoot the factory .327 Federal factory loads in the house. It's a blaster ! :)
S&W 2d and 3d gen semi-autos . I love the 39xx series single stacks, and just picked up a 669 double stack. When they fit, they fit ! My only plastic gun is a Kahr PM9 for pocket carry. Best SD trigger in my opinion of the small striker guns.
I have a #1 Pancake belt holster from http://www.lobogunleather.com/, that I'm happy with. It also fits my CS45 . I put XS Bigdot sights on my 4513TSW .

Don't forget that you can find Russians in every Canadian gas station for $185, so I wouldn't spend a fortune on anything that wasn't somewhat unique. Should they drop that russian arms embargo, I wouldn't want to have invested $600 in a "beautiful" Russian ( except maybe that one in the torn...
I've never had problems shooting either my PA-63's or my SMC-918 , after putting in stiffer recoil springs, but I find the P64 to be painful. Different strokes, I guess. :)
SOG has Star Super B pistols, VG-Exc condition, listed with 2 mags. My experience with SOG is that they have excellent cosmetics. :)

Better in YOUR eyes , maybe . :) I went thru a micro desert eagle, Keltec P3-AT, S&W Bodyguard, before settling on the 738 ( also a Colt Mustang and P238, but they're a different class ) . The grip and trigger combo on the Taurus is the best of that early bunch, for me. Mine is a "D" series...
I received a nice shape sks from SOG on Christmas eve. It's a Chinese letter gun E1414 in great condition for it's age. Mostly it's still in cosmo, but the bluing looks to close to 100%, with no rust. All matching numbers, where numbers can be found ( nothing at all that I can find on gas...
From the serial #, and the stock sling swivel, and LACK of Tula Star on sight ladder, I'm guessing it's a good looking '56 ghost rifle. I had one with a mismatched russian stock last fall, so until you see the real thing, we're just guessing.

There is a saying " In a fight, Front sight ". Basically , in a SD situation , getting front and rear sights aligned may get you killed. That's why on my carry guns I either have XS Big Dot front sights or large rod Fiber Optic front sights, and practice putting that big sight on target fast...
Note that if you use EZ-check at BATF, you will see that "The data obtained from this site is not a substitute for a certified copy of the license.". Nothing to obsess about, BUT I always get a shipping copy from the receiving FFL, or I tell my client to find another FFL. Life is too short to...
Have you played with your PA63 springs, yet ? I prefer mine with a 15# recoil spring and a #13 pound hammer spring. Gunsprings.com is your friend on these. :)
I'm a fan of the FEG pistols. Well made !!
