John, what's your next gun? For that matter, what's your first gun?

I read your workout for Monday, and damn! That's some serious work capacity.

If you're attempting to get fit using kettlebells, I'd say you're already there. Awesome!

Hey Aaron,
I have had only a couple 22 caliber rifles and 12 and 20 guage shotguns in my varmit-killing carrer. Out here on the farm, birds, squirrels, and jack rabbits tend to eat all of our profits, never our expenses.

Last week I saw an ad in the newspaper for a .38 Special, one box of ammo, and six months access to a shooting range for $499. I have always wanted a handgun, as some of my friends had them and I have "tried" to shoot at targets. Very challenging! Well, I couldn't find the old ad, but remembered the street the gun shop was located and drove around last Sunday looking for it. I missed my target, but will make another attempt with more investigation.

Hey, you are not in such bad shape yourself with those OH Presses and weighted Pull-ups. Keep up the good work and insipration!

.38 Special is a really nice cartridge for a handgun. I started reloading just for that caliber and I haven't graduated from it yet.

For sure, a 4" barrel or longer is what I would go for unless you're carrying the gun concealed during the summer.

You'll make good hits, but it takes practices. Also, 25 yards for a rifle with iron sights is equivalent to 25 feet with a handgun, especially if you're shooting a double-action revolver.

Thanks for this cool info. This will help me with my research before I decide what to purchase. Keep up the reloading and save some ammo for me!

My favorite is a Ruger GP-100 in 357 magnum. I've bought and sold a bunch of revolvers since then, but this one is the most ergonomic and accurate for me.

The Smith & Wesson model 10 is a very robust gun as well. I had two of them ~ a 1965ish and a 1980ish vintage. They both shot extremely well, but I prefer the grips and the adjustable sights of my GP-100.
