    .41 Magnum vs .44 Magnum

    , which should be obvious from the thread title.

    Cheap 10mm ammo?

    My local gun store had S&B SB10A for $17 a box of 50. Bought 5 boxes even though I didn't need it.

    My carry weapon was outed tonight

    I don't think you need any help. Obviously, it is unfortunate that the gun showed, but it did, and that's done. I'm sorry to see that some people are discussing carrying in a house when the owner asks you not to, because the owner has NOT asked you not to, and you already said that if she...

    Finger Placement

    Sounds to me like you should be teaching rather than asking. What works best for the individual depends on hand size's relation to gun size, but you figured out how to test it. I believe that you are on the right track and need no help. Keep practicing.

    Super Blackhawk .44 Mag hurt my hand: Need replacement grip advice

    My advice is free, worth every penny you are paying for it, and is given with no guarantees. However, it sounds to me as though you are gripping the revolver too tightly. Like I said, the SA revolvers seem to be designed to roll back in your hand. I recommend greasing or powdering the...

    Super Blackhawk .44 Mag hurt my hand: Need replacement grip advice

    IMO, you need to figure out which part of the gun is hurting you. I have owned both 7.5" and 4.625" Super Blackhawks with factory grips, and have tried Pachmayrs on the 7.5". Firing one-handed with no particular resistance, neither gun gave me a problem with factory grips, although I had a...

    How do you uncock a gun?

    Congratulations on a successful operation! While this is easy for folks who have done it a number of times, it can be VERY difficult for someone who has never done it before, and, as pointed out above, can be extremely dangerous. Even those who think that they can do it sometimes err. It must...

    Would like opinions on Hogue grips.

    Grips have to do with size and fit. The idea that any set of grips improves things, or even works acceptably, for everyone makes no sense at all. I LOVE most Hogue revolver grips, not including round-to-square conversions. The idea of adding more rubber to almost any autoloader seems...

    UK: Police hold mother-of-three for reading 'Independent' outside Downing Street

    It would appear that the policeman held her attention for more than a few moments. Since she could hardly leave without taking her attention with her, it seems reasonable (for a newspaper) to conclude that he was, in effect, holding her. Hype to drum up sales? In an English newspaper...

    My First run-in with an anti while open carrying

    mzmtg, Very well handled, in my opinion. BTW, could you tell from her speech whether she was a native or a transplant? Both the business-card routine and her pushiness in questioning a stranger on his personal business sound very suspicious to me. TIA 520

    Alcohol???? and CCW

    I am glad that we have a forum where JamisJockey and Biker post (assuming that JJ was serious). [Note: While I don't think much of smoking, the main reason I don't think much of it is because I don't do it and what other people do is mostly none of my business.] I think that some folks...

    Do you ever choose your guns by what caliber you can get easiest or cheapest?

    Absolutely. Easiest first, and cheapest a close second. However, I do have a few slightly less common, for which I reload: 6mm Remington, 7mm-08, and .416 Rigby. The 7mm-08 is not so oddball, and if I had known how accurate Hornady ammo was going to be in my H-S Precision, I probably...

    Gotta go, it's been fun.

    Chris, Thanks for reminding me, and for setting a good example. 520

    Guns as medium of exchange

    How many people do you know who know what a gun is for and don't already have one? Just wondering. Although I do know a few, I am, in general, a bit wary of the motives of those who don't already own guns. Of course, I keep my concerns to myself, and watch and listen in an attempt to...

    Cleaning Question: how many of you use a bronze brush?

    Never needed to, that I recall. Hoppe's #9 on a large patch, or a drop or two around the rear of the barrel, and an old toothbrush. I've always used an old toothbrush first, but I wouldn't hesitate to use a bronze brush if needed, particularly around the rear of the barrel. Keep an eye out...

    Your spiritual path and view on firearms

    One orthodox Jew here has the same question cosine has.

    Middle Easterners at the range

    :rolleyes: Read the Koran. Then read a world history book. Then read a newspaper. You know better than "Islam and most Muslims abhor terrorism." Why do you say it?

    Middle Easterners at the range

    Make a difference to what? To our prejudices? Of course it should! By and large, the difference between Christian Arabs and many Muslim Arabs is the difference between life and death. Everybody knows that. Some deny it for reasons which I will leave to them to explain, if they choose to...

    Showing your permit to law enforcment

    Never. (Have carried with permit for about eighteen years.) You might want to try this some time with the zero option.
