A few comments on the original post:
Someone else mentioned this, but it's worth noting, that the list here and the description of the progression of the rounds mentioned is off. The 45 Colt and the 45 acp had approximately the same energy and close to the same mass (230 gr. vs.250. grains)...
Thanks for posting the link to this article:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/apr/23/kentucky-gun-owner-gun-violence-archive-mark-bryant
It has the rundown on this website.
The site has value and it tries to be honest. It is also limited as the article explains. Each of the major websites...
They have an address in Washington, D.C. and an email address. They also have a Facebook page. They are a "Non Profit" legal group which means that they have to file that information and it's public. But they do not name any of their officers or responsible persons or who funds the organization...
The op hasn't been back, but if we read his post it's clear that he was asking about defensive shooting and not hunting. Drawing from the experience of hunting can help illustrate some things but misses the mark mostly. As the primary objectives, killing the game with one shot vs. stopping an...
I recommend the book American Rifle by Alexander Rose
http://www.alexrose.com/american-rifle
It can be found at Amazon, B&N, etc. A very well written and researched history that reads like a novel.
I also suggest "Ammo and Ballistics" by Bob Forker, "Cartridges of the World" by Barnes and...
It is true that the mechanical recoil is identical for semiauto firearms as for revolvers, leverguns or bolt action rifles. The measurement for the recoil is the same given the same bullet being fired and the same weight of weapon, all else being equal. The formulas work for both. But the "kick"...
Helpless and cynical...a combination you can find often, whether it's buying guns, cars, Hummel figurines or politics. We're "back to square one" because we don't trust our own eyes or because we don't have the experience to make a sound call based on that experience.
We get to know guns by...
The truth is that Colt issued a public statement saying that due to the pressure of fulfilling the deadlines of military contracts and slow sales in the civilian market they would halt production of civilian versions of the rifle to catch up on the military side. Sales of AR's had slowed at...
Colt 1911's are already less expensive than Dan Wesson 1911s.
What CZ gets from Colt, that they don't have, are Colt's military contracts and connections.
There is another factor as well.
The formulas for recoil, like this one: http://kwk.us/recoil.html
are based on the recoil of bolt action rifles and can't take into account the action of self loading, semi automatic or fully auto handguns or long guns.
That's why the felt recoil of a 1911...
"Colt wasn’t unionized during their glory days?"
What I say below I'm taken from the book "Crisis and Political Beliefs--The case of the Colt Firearms Strike" by Marc Lendler.
Short answer is they have been union since 1940.
There had been various efforts to organize a union there in the...
The union has not been a major issue in Colt's hemorrhaging. More than once over the decades they signed give back contracts that kept Colt afloat. The workers there laid out their cash to keep the company alive. The major issue has been the same for other firearm's companies union or not...the...
Colt will remain in the U.S. That's part of the reason for acquiring it. It was one of the reasons for CZ getting Dan Wesson.
The ownership of the Colt facilities in the U.S. means more guns made here. It opens up more potential contract options for CZ.
It's not a completed deal yet.
There is a mistaken impression that Colt's military contracts are done for. They are not. Colt and Colt Canada, have a good deal of military contracts here and internationally. Colt, however cannot compete with FN.
CZ is moving to take a slice of the market from...
The 2
The 22 lr will also kill a Brown bear or a Polar Bear if you put the bullet "in the right place". A rhinoceros as well, if it's taking a nap. It will also kill a Moose, if you first ran into it with a truck and you want to put the beast down. But that does not mean that it is the right...
I'm not sure about "expensive, macho" but seems to me it's more like selecting the right tool for the job. Since I don't know the circumstances of the fella choosing a .22 to kill the hog I won't comment on that. But I doubt that most folk will choose a .22 handgun, or long gun, to hunt hogs.
