It means Venturino is trying to be controversial. ;)

For me, the cordless saws are good for light or occasional work. My electric Husqvarna is a bit testy. Easy to stall and tough to keep the chain tight. I use the cordless on small stuff around the house or camping. Sometimes you just don't want to fool with a gas saw or smell like exhaust all...

Looks like a standard 18.5" length. Worth pointing out that there are plain few variations that are both threaded and equipped with a front sight.

Could be but nothing packs on the hip like a 629MG. Still, plain few examples of comparable .454's. I reckon I would just say that for normal use, the .454 is a whole lot of what most folks don't need.

The .454 really limits your choices and they're all big & heavy.

MV's article reminds me of Wiley Clapp's "Screw the .44 Special" article years ago. He was nearly burned at the stake for it.

I would say the difference is mostly impact velocity.

Hell no. There have been more .44's on the market in the last 10-15yrs than at any other time in history. Mike Venturino has a limited scope in his shooting interests. He only likes the old stuff. He doesn't do heavy loads or hunt with pistols. Probably never even shot a .44Mag. Sorry Mike but...

Almost as strong as the Ruger #1, if that tells you anything.

I think it makes a big difference, DA or SA. Round nosed bullets with no shoulder are always easier to land in the chamber.

Personally don't care for using stuff like motor oil or ATF on guns. They basically have no corrosion resistant properties. I'm sure the same would apply to B&C oil.

We may run into a shortage of ROUS's! :D

It did a little bit. The rimfire Magpul is a lot lighter than the centerfire boltgun version on my American. I like it better than expected. I really like the gray Ruger synthetic too.

Got two more of them little jokers today! Also remodeled the rifle. Posted a thread in the rifle section. Have to zero tomorrow.

I'll throw out a warning before I get started, if you are triggered by "tactical" type 10/22's, look away. I put together rifles like this for after dark pest control and in that role (among others) they do very well. They're not traditional but every part serves a function and is a result of...
