Random Thought Thread

I've only ever had one square butt revolver, an issued 2" Model 15 from my first LE job in federal service in NYC, carried for about 4 years. All the others have been round, as I prefer.

You were using service stocks, I would image.
On the M15, OEM. And the M19 I had my best scores with at FLETC was also OEM. But my carry M19 had Pachmayer's on as I recall. At some time I used Tyler's T-grips on my duty guns. I still have a pair of the black and stainless versions in my holster box. Just can't remember exactly when I used them and for how long on a particular firearm.

I find hand fit is far more important on revolvers than it is on semi-autos. Seems true for me, at least.

I shot better scores with revolvers than semi-autos for a long time...except for a Colt Gov't Model (Series 70) I had but which I turned in because of issues they wouldn't pay to repair.

I'm a Glock guy, but the old compact single action S&W series from the late 80's was a good shooter. (But I hated to field strip and clean it.)
 
What do you make of the new Gen 6? Seems like near universal praise, from what I’ve read. Better ergonomics and so forth.
The last one I bought is a Gen 5. I don't think I'll be buying just to buy. My first was purchased in 1989. My last a few years back.
There's a lot of chat about them online but I've studiously ignored most of it..
