we each have a handy little shoulder bag, with extra rounds, flashlight, compass etc.
ready to take whenever we ride the wheelers, even just out near the house

we were out riding this summer, down an unfamiliar trail, and suddenly there was a fresh moose calf carcass, a bear kill, ....mostly just bones left.....and me with only my 380 LCP in my pocket. NEVER again.

these are handy and darn accurate little pieces.

Really cool pieces, have a Mountain Revolver for such purposes, but those sure look like a lot of fun.

mountain gun is surely a finer item, but these sure are

Having never handled or shot a Terminator, cannot speak to their quality, it may be very comparable to the Smiths, or even better, for all I know. My Smith has been back to the factory three times so far for warranty work, so I am under no illusion they are perfect. I am a fan of short barrel revolvers though, and those look very interesting. If the metallurgy is good in them, the rest could probably be sorted out if needed.

mine shoot as well as 44 mag i have ever owned....

except maybe my dan Wesson, otherwise they are as good and often better than any others,

Sounds like...

I may have to keep my eyes open if I see one for a decent price sometime.

Any idea which frame style came first? Mine is like your stainless gun, but is NOT marked TERMINATOR anywhere.

One thing for sure, I really like mine and it isn't going anywhere until I'm gone.

i don't know...i remember when they were available, but

didn't realize how good they were till i handled one a friend had, years later. somebody with old magazines/ gun digest can probably find the pictures.

Mine locks up like a bank vault, still haven't shot it but with such a tight lockup and a smooth action it should shoot.
