    So for the past few years, I've been "covering" shot show. I'm not actually there, but I'll crawl all over the internet and my distributors stock lists to bring you the good, bad, and the ugly.


    Shot officially starts on the 23rd, but there's always leaks, so I've been starting these threads a bit early, but i want this one to be  fun, so i want to implement a competition. From now till the first leak (usually happens around the 15th) anyone can make a prediction. If it turns out to be true, you'll win a trophy emblazoned with your name;

    And bragging rights.

    There is one exception, saying that s&w will do something dumb doesn't count. We all know s&w will do something dumb.
    Staccato teased a new model and there's an associated video floating around.

    Looks like C2 with CS grip module. I would guess "C3".

    Video shows a CS with an island barrel w/irons. (Not an island comp.)

    S&W "1854" LEVER ACTION. I remember a few on the forum wanting a lever with a threaded barrel that didn't have all the tactical bs... well here it is.
    Interesting. I like that it's stainless. Looks like a marlin action, good choice. Not happy about the choice of torx screws, but whatever.

    If they're good, I'm going to get a .357

    Well, this is silly.
    Take a pocket gun and add all that external stuff on it.
    The 3032 is a chunk already. Let's make it larger.
    What it needs is an extractor. It isn't dependable enough for EDC as is.
    and 32 ammo is sooooo easy to get these days.
    You add an extractor and the only reason to buy a 3032 is gone. You can't have a tip up barrel and an extractor.

    Personally i think the 3032 is just too long in the tooth. More than a few 32's that are capable of handling CIP spec ammo and are smaller and lighter.

    Agreed.
    This is why I think Ruger should chamber the LCP in 32auto.
    The gun can handle 380. It would handle 32 easiily.
    As an owner of several 3032's i would not buy another. I have a Titanium that I should sell.
