WOW!!! So many good photographers. I wish I had half the skill. Here's my current lineup of handguns...

Although I think the SW snubbies are great guns, I have mainly seen just the stainless ones with the rubber grips and found them kinda boring. Your gun is quiet refreshing to see. In fact I will say that is the most wicked looking snub I've seen in a long time! Very very nice!

Thank you.

Don't backup from your photos - clear, crisp with nice detail. Thanks for sharing.

I really appreciate the shot of the Ruger. I am on the "Notify List" at Midway for a FastFire III. How do you like the little RDS on the Ruger ?

I looked pretty close at the rail on yours and it seems to have square notches more like a true picatinny. The rail that came with my MK-III 22-45 has rounded notches. I hope the bar on the Burris mount is round and not square. I found a Tac-Sol kydex style holster that is notched for the rail and RDS combo. Hope to have the sight later this month.

Thanks for the compliment.

The notches on the Ruger rail are indeed rounded. It's the angle that makes them look square. However, I had no problem mounting the FFII using the picatinny mount. It mounts very solidly on the Ruger rail.

As far as the sight goes, I do like it. However, on this handgun, I am more accurate using the open sights than the FFII. The FFII really is better for fast firing with good accuracy. It's not a bullseye sight, at least not for me. I have recently taken the FFII off the Ruger and placed it on top of a 3X scope I have on an AR rifle. It's very good in that role. I'm looking for an actual scope to put on the Ruger.

The FFII is a quality sight. It seems very rugged, the glass is optically perfect (no distortion at all), the dot is a nice size (4 MOA I think), and it has auto-dim feature that actually works. I understand it has auto-off but I've never checked to see if it works. The upcoming FFIII seems like a good upgrade. I have to take my sight off the gun to change the battery (which I haven't had to do yet), but you can leave the FFIII mounted and still change the battery. And I think the FFIII does away with the locking screws my FFII has on the back. My FFII also holds zero very well. It's getting pounding on my AR and hasn't lost zero yet. If the FFII is any indication, you will be very pleased with the FFIII.

Great info - thanks for the update !

While I'm here ------------ Smith 696 - a Five Shot .44 Special. Speed Loaders for the Range, Speed Strips for Carry - nice and flat. I don't think I have posted this revolver before.

AC~ I think I saw this build up over on M4C......I know you wouldn't run anything you didn't think was functional, but would like your opinion on the VZ Carbon 320's. I have 2 Colt's at Mars, and I'm considering a set for both pistols.

Ok... I'll play. Please excuse the horrible pics that were taken with my iphone. I'll get some better ones when I can lay my hands on a real camera.
