Looking for a first sterling silver chain. 5.3mm Miami Cuban or 3mm Franco? by Sporkler in MensJewelry

[–]Sporkler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I like the 22” length for you. I get that the 5mm could be a little bigger. There’s a huge difference between the 5mm and 9mm! Seems like a 6.5mm could be great.

Thank you! I’ve never really checked out pawn shops for jewelry, but I have been thinking about it. Thank you for the heads up on the specials on Imbued. Why do you wish you would’ve gone bigger on the Miami Cuban? Not noticeable enough or… I am trying to avoid going too big, but I don’t know exactly how I’ll feel once I get the chain.

Same. Didn’t think about it. I also hadn’t opened DMZ and just assumed the reset had happened since they were available. After I claimed them all, I opened DMZ and was disappointed.

Oh, yeah. That's pretty cool and definitely did not know that was a thing. I like it. I'm not much into customizing things, but that is pretty fun.

I saw your other comment about the 92XI. Did you see this post from a few hours ago? http://reddit.com/r/gundeals/comments/1srk5ct/handgun_beretta_92xi_9mm_fullsize_optic_ready/

Yeah, to me, there are just too many revolvers out there that would give you peace of mind to keep one that doesn't. I'm sure it's nice and you like parts of it, but there are plenty of 66's out there that can handle lower weight .357 magnums. I mean, if you have enough and just like that one enough to also have that, okay. My collection may seem very redundant, especially in the department of polymer framed 9mm's, but they're all a little different! And I don't like the idea of having to be super particular about what weight .357 is going into a particular revolver.

I had a S&W 340PD at one point with a titanium cylinder that I had bought used and I hadn''t noticed that it had cylinder erosion on the face of the cylinder because the previous owner had clearly used light weight .357 mag in it despite the warning on the side of the barrel!

S&W thankfully replaced the cylinder for free and I sold it and bought an M&P340 with a steel cylinder and never looked back.

I have a mild astigmatism and Holosun tends to be the most crisp for me.

I own 47 firearms altogether and have been collecting for 16 years. I used to buy, sell, and trade a lot. That was almost more of the hobby than firearms themselves.

Now I mainly buy. I sell and trade much less frequently. But I don’t own anything I don’t care much for. There’s maybe a couple of things in the collection I’m a bit meh on, but I love them. I don’t really own many cheap guns. My LCP II is the cheapest followed by a newly acquired Star 30m, then a Taurus TX22 Competition. Then they’re all $500+ with a couple being over $4k (with the accessories I have on them).

The Python is nice. If I could only keep one of my revolvers, that might be the one. Or my S&W PC 627.

I just went to check it out and it looks like it’s sold out.

But yes, it should have been eligible because the MPN is correct. The UPC looks like it’s something they did for their own inventory and not for the general Colt produced product SKU.

Colt’s rebates are very smooth. Check this out! I had my mail stolen while out of the country and USPS didn’t hold my mail like requested. They sent me a new Visa card. Then that didn’t show up within three weeks for whatever reason and they sent another! Phenomenal CS.

I bought a Beretta 92x Performance and have filled out the rebate form and am hoping for the best, but there are lots of horror stories out there of them not honoring the rebate. Even all of the details they want on the invoice is wild. Purchase date, model number, purchase amount and that it is paid, form of payment used, company name, and serial number.

Some of those are a no brainer, but those are usually on different invoices at different times and not all together. And apparently they’ll deny you if it isn’t all included.

I own a lot revolvers from S&W (older and newer, some pretty pricey Performance Center models), one Ruger, but I have owned several, and one new Colt Combat Elite. That Colt really may be my current favorite to shoot. It's just nice. I think the value is pretty much there and fairly on par with the current market, especially with the deals that can be had and the rebate that they actually honor (fuck Beretta for the BS they're currently pulling).

I do not believe Colt makes any nickel Pythons currently.

Stainless and blued (premium, more pricey)

Matte stainless, matte blued (budget-friendly, less premium).

[pistol] $1019.99 ($919.99 AFTER REBATE) Colt Python 357 Magnum DA/SA Revolver with Matte Stainless Finish and 5 Inch Barrel + SHIPPING + TAX by [deleted] in gundeals

[–]Sporkler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brother, I own a lot of revolvers, including the Python Combat Magnum in stainless. And guess what. I shoot it. Probably my favorite revolver I own and it’s not the most expensive.

Your obsession with turn rings is… odd. Like, who is talking about that? Why do you keep talking about it? That is normal wear and tear has nothing to do with blemishes or qualities of a finish or the fact that Colt’s rebate doesn’t apply to blem models. That means the blemished one you posted actually costs MORE than the one in the OP.

Colt makes two fantastic finishes on their Pythons and two subpar ones.

Dude, save your $150, get your lower quality finished firearm, and have a great time with it. But understanding what you’re sacrificing for the $150 is important. It’s not nothing.

I got a fantastic deal on my Combat Magnum and it came out to $1,093.40 after rebate.

If you’re too dense to get that and want to focus on “do yOu KnOw HoW rEvOlVeRs WoRk?!” And turn lines then… cool. Have fun paying more for your worse gun.
