Non-gun folks just don't understand that it's a question not asked in polite company.....

Even if the Feds ask, I'm not obligated to answer the question. I can just be quiet.

a very high percentage of gun owners will voluntarily hand in their guns for money It's true. In the late Jeff Cooper's, "To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth," there's a story about a German POW on the Russian front during WWII. He was in a camp in Siberia - one of 30,000 prisone...

When I was home sick one time, I stumbled across one of these appearances of Tom Selleck on the Rosie O'Donnell Show. She's trying to wind him up and all but calls him an idiot. He remains a gentleman, even under significant provocation. He's a class act, as well as a great actor and leading man. An...

I've got an old Lyman # 55, and it has both a baffle and a little wee knocker to make sure that all of the powder is dispensed from the loading tube. A wee bit fussy to set up, but VERY consistent and accurate. Make sure that you are using the same speed, force, and motions for each charge. Consiste...

Wow!

In the 30/30 -or any cartridge for that matter - consistency in reloading will probably do more for accuracy than minute adjustments in OAL. Start with cases the same length, be fussy with your powder weights and OAL, and crimp consistently. When you get a load that the gun likes, then you can play ...

According to Armstrong, if you witness a woman being beaten and robbed outside of your store, you’re not supposed to intervene to stop the attack. Instead, you’re supposed to simply sit back and watch so you can tell police all about it after the fact. And then you're a witness, the miscreant's law...

Those S&W K-Frame guns were a staple of the S&W line for decades for a reason. That Model 64 will outlast you if you treat it with any sort of respect. The Model 10s that I've shot all shoot to point of aim with 158 gr. loads. I've even seen guys put up respectable scores in Bullseye competi...

As long as the focus is on making more money for the wealthy shareholders, and not making a quality product, this will continue to be the way of things. Sole proprietors or privately held companies stay in business because they provide quality products and/or services for a reasonable price. This is...

We are making a mistake by trying too hard to limit penetration. Oh, that's definitely true. Big holes in and out are more effective than something that stops inside the animal, even if the projectile is caught by the offside skin.

"357 SWCHP, or it use to be called the "Chicago load"

That's a very decent load in a revolver, let alone a carbine!

That's a beauty!

2. Trigger pull
3. Results from a variety of loads

"If in my home with more than 5 seconds warning, the goblin will be facing a carbine, not a handgun. Handguns are for when there is nothing else. Rifles decide the fate of nations." In most of my house, there simply isn't room to bring a carbine to bear without also putting the muzzle with...

This is why, for years, my standard for carry is 45acp and 357 in a package I shoot well.

I can see the use of a hair trigger on rifle, but not on a combat handgun.

"Sealed breech, all the powder is burned where it should be, I found the same with 41s out of my Henry, 210s going 1800 is nothing to sneeze at !" No, it ain't! :lol: I'm surprised at the velocity gain in a rifle for the 38 Special load. Plenty for social work or varmints. -Stretch

stretch

Probably not quite what you want to hear, but I'd swap 'en with somebody for some 240 gr. projectiles. 300 gr. is usable in HEAVY 44 Magnum loads, but I'm thinkin' 240 gr. would be better in all respects in the 44 Special. YMMV, of course. -Stretch

The "Best Gun" is the one you have in your fist when the balloon goes up. As others have said - make it simple, and make it familiar. It IS hard to go wrong with a DA 357 revolver. Dirt simple. Front sight - PRESS! No safeties, no questioning if there's a round in the chamber - no nothing....

Sixgun - some of my earliest memories are from West Chester. My parents rented a house there, and I was 4 at the time. Don't recall the address. :lol: Mostly I grew up in Furlong.

The power is the people who are willing to protect and enforce the Constitution. That's right. It's a living document.

The .357 out of a carbine is a nasty piece of business at door yard (sorry....Maine terminology) ranges. Very little noise, very little recoil and very quick to handle and operate.

.480 Ruger with a 410 grain LBT style bullet in Wide Flat Nose. Can be run a little faster, but 900 fps in the revolver gives best accuracy for me.

Mercy!

Can you say, "Thump?"

Yer definitely not undergunned with that load......

I, too, like WW231. It meters very consistently. 7gr. in 41 Magnum pushing a 215 gr. SWC is a great load. Easy on the guns and shooter, more accurate than I can shoot, and plenty of power for social work. This load is close to the LE load that the 41 Magnum was designed for, methinks. Anything from ...

What guns?! They can't enforce anything remotely like that without changing the Constitution. They tried it in Canada, and people mostly ignored them. The Canadian govenment then gave up.
