    New Summer Carry Gun

    Recently I've been running into problems with my Walther PPK (the SW not the German manufactured), even after the recall I've been having a lot of FTF (faulty firing pin, was replaced and 500 rounds later problem began again) and a handful of jams. I don't want to make it sound like this gun was plagued with problems, but I didn't have the peace of mind I like to have with my carry guns (being 100% dependable) so the XD .45 has been in rotation consistently for the past month or so and now with warmer weather it's becoming a little uncomfortable and awkward to carry. So long story short I was able to trade my Walther in for this beauty, Smith and Wesson model 640 .357, have yet to take it to the range but I am in love with this gun so far, this is my first "wheel gun" or revolver and couldn't be more excited or happy with it. I felt like I came out on top with this one.

    Smith & Wesson's first centennial 357 and the first centennial made of stainless steel.

    Congrats.

    LOL.

    In comparison, that would elevate Glock to an extremely thin carry Piece.
