i stopped by cabela’s today to check out their sale and gun show. this smith & wesson .38 caliber 637 revolver was on sale for $389.99 (normally $439.99, msrp $545.00) so i picked one up. after filling out a two page form, they do a quick background check, and i was good to go.

this is pretty similar to the gun my friend john bought in february, and i blogged about it here. i fired his s&w 442 a few more times since then and decided that it wasn’t as bad as i thought. i also picked up some magtech 38 SPL ammo which is not of the +P type, so it should have a little less recoil than what we were shooting. oh, and since they were having a sale, i stocked up on some ammo for my 9mm and .22.
