I can pretty much ignore mine in daily life in the city. Once a year I go up to the Canadian woods and when I sit by the lake on a calm day it's pretty damn loud. Am I the only one who's really noticing it now, purely due to reading this thread?

Great tips all! I think I speak for a fairly large group when I say, "NOW ya tell me."

Duane's advice about renting a gun is excellent. Kevin, as far as the latter discussion goes, that's gonna happen whenever the words 'revolver' and 'reliability' is used. (I'm new here but not new to gun forums.) Anyway I've carried an SP101 the last couple years and highly recommend it. Are the CT grips you're looking at the newer, softer ones? The original CT grip was a fairly hard plastic. I have the rubber Hogue Monogrip on mine and I love it. The stock grip is more concealable but I can hide the Hogue just fine; I'm a sloppy dresser. With the Hogue, and probably the CT, you can fire the most scary-fun fire-breathing .357 ammo in comfort.

Hi folks, I'm an IDPA revolver shooter from the land of Al Franken and Michele Bachman. Thanks for having me! Pat
