I just found a 1911 that I will keep for a lifetime. Not trading or selling this one. I need to, but after another couple of trips shooting, its not going anywhere. SA 1911 black/OD MC Loaded Operator. The gun is so accurate, never fails, feels great shooting it, and looks kick ass! Just one of...

Funderb, next time he takes it out, I will see how close we can get to a 1000 yard shot. They have 100 acres, and its a long narrow plot of land. If we can find a route through all the mesquite bushes, maybe we can give it a try. Might have to prop up on something and shoot down to get a good...

Yes, they were FMJ rounds. I will get pictures up. Looks a lot like the ones powermad posted of the few that made the perfect circles. The rest of the dents that were made in his pictures were what I expected before we fired at it.

3/8's isnt very think, but at 300 yards, I was not expecting that solid of holes. I figured it would dent it in, but not go clean past it like it did. I need to read up on my steel. I have seen thinner stuff stop larger rounds. Oh yea, not sure of the metal, it was just some stuff I bought from...

Yes, solid holes. To tell you the truth, I would not have figured this would be the case. Every shot made a perfect hole. It was a cousins 7mm, and I am not sure of the ammo. He was just using the cheaper stuff off the shelf. No self loads or anything special. At 100 yards or less, I would have...

Just wondering. From 250-300 yards away, what do you guys think would happen on impact here? Shooting straight at a 20X20 3/8" piece of plate steel. We did this today, and the results were not as expected. What do you guys think would happen to the steel?

7mm Mag vs. 3/8 Plate steel moved to new thread.

Barrett 50 BMG when he shot down the chopper. I would assume the other was a Rem 700 of some sort. The one he was taking down people with. Did not see it very well. After that is was a .22

I would have to agree, head up, not so loud. Head under, very loud. Have you ever dropped a very small object on the opposite of the pool and heard it drop with clarity. Its seems to be amplified.

Is it not odd that auto's kill more each day than guns probably do in a month and yet they still sell those? Yea, VT was a sad deal, but while I am typing this the same amount of people are probably killed in car wrecks. EBAY, BAN CAR SALES TOO PLEASE.

halvey, can you really say fail when the test is not related to real world situations? Its like laying them in a fire pit and seeing what would fire afterward. Would a Glock melt faster than a 1911? Would they still fire? Who cares, you would not ever lay it in a fire pit and then try to fire...

Great story. Too bad the anti-gun folks will never use this. I dont know if I would have been able to just hand over my keys. I guess it would depend on who it was, and what I thought they were up to. Good for this guy to not open fire and allowing the situation to possibly end with just a truck...

Hapuna, not really. In that case I would be worried about trying to live. If they do not have a gun, I would never take mine out to begin with. If they did, and were shooting at me, my gun would be above water. If I was under, my sights would be off and I would never hit them anyway. If we were...

would it really matter? I highly doubt that I will ever need any of my handguns underwater. Yea, Yea, you never know. But what I do know is that I do not carry my guns when swimming, so it really will never be a case to begin with.

Nomad, I beg to differ. Have you not ever seen someone toss a box of .22 shells in a camp fire? Some moron did this at a campsite once. It took a while, but they did explode. Several of them made a wizzz sound, so I know they went more than a 3" distance.
