I got into firearms again after a 12 year absence due to a situation that occurred on my property. Along the way I rekindled a love and a passion for collecting firearms and teaching about firearm self-defense. My background is law enforcement where I spent 19 years before I was offered a job teaching Criminal Justice and Fire and Rescue at a high school career and technology center.

I finally decided, after your advice and lots of research, to go with the Taurus 605 stainless. I went to Dale’s today (I buy all my guns from there) and he had one in stock, so I held it and looked at some others he had too.
The price was a bit high, so I told him I would think about it. As I walked out the door he said he will match any price, so about 20 minutes later I went back and he knocked $30 off the price tag.
Then disaster struck!
Earlier this month, when I started thinking about wanting a snubnose, I remembered my FOID card was broken so I ordered a replacement, which still hasn’t arrived. Unfortunately, upon ordering, my current gun card was voided, so I couldn’t buy the Taurus!
I put some cash down on it and did all the paperwork, so he’s going to hold it for me until the new card comes. In the meantime, I found a nice pair of wood grips on eBay to put on my new revolver when I can finally bring it home. I hope that card comes soon!!! I can’t wait to shoot this new gun and start working toward getting my concealed carry!
