Thank you cherokeetracker. I'll look into the BFR. I've heard nothing but good things about their handguns.

I'm leaning more and more towards getting one. Still undecided of what to do, if anything, with the encore.

The more I read up on this caliber, the more I like it. And with the right load (and tons of practice), it seems it is very capable of reaching 200 yards.

Personally, I like the older style better though in terms of appearance. I also like the extra inch+ of barrel. I also question the $400 upcharge for an integrated scope mount and sling holes.

It's heavy for sure, but that's also a draw for me. And it's still lighter than the encore.

I appreciate everyone's help.

The meat won't fry if the lead don't fly.
