These discussion usually devolve into personal prescriptions righteousness, missing the point. No one leaves the house 100% prepared for every eventuality. Most reasonable people make sound decisions based on their weighing the probability of perceived risks versus the needs of everyday life...
The typical #4 lead shot 12 gauge 1-1/4 oz HV load will penetrate over 10" of ballistic gelatin at 4 yards. The #2 steel load although individual pellets are larger, weigh approximately the same, and penetration at that distance will be similar.
The idea that 10" of penetration with 150+...
I have a S&W 14-3, with Herrett made-to-measure stocks back when the company was in it's heyday. My eyesight is past the age I can be competitive at bullseye with iron sights. But this is my favorite target pistol.
I've been carrying concealed handguns daily for over 40 years. A competition shooter, LEO and firearms instructor for over 35 years. I've seen plenty of errors under stress by trained shooters on both the street and the range. I will only carry a hammer fired weapon with a DA trigger in the...
What people throw their own money at is their own business. If 350 grand is chump change to someone, well then having that item is just another expensive collectible to look at. But to each his own.
Without a doubt, the $1000 cellphone and $100,000 truck will see more daily use and enjoyment...
Cue the Bullseye/Unique/2400 handwringing.... But, not surprising from Vista Outdoors. Most Speer bullets have been unobtainium for many moons.
A haven't used new Alliant powders in 25 years. The LGS around here do not carry them, basically Hodgdon group only. So I'm not missing anything...
Follow the money. The gun industry's money that is.
If the industry had it's way, they would eliminate 80% of the cartridges out there. And then introduce a new super duper cartridge every two years, to get you to buy a new gun and ammo. That's how they make money, since guns last for...
Ahhhh, the 10mm cult continues unabated, with answers to a questions that have already been answered. I'd rather have a .44 Magnum for this purpose.
1. However this matters, the 10mm does not approach the .44 Mag in power. The wild-eyed loons that claim that the 10mm is the power equivalent...
Then you won't like this one any better....
The "black finish" is roachly, the DA trigger pull has been increased by a couple of pounds, and the S&W "improved" long snout tang is there. Other than that... it's says "Walther" on the slide. Was an interesting pistol in 1931, and long since...
The infamous Bell Crank Cube. It's a weak link in an otherwise fine powder measure system. When you buy the measure Dillon should provide a spare. I bought a small spare parts kit from them some years ago, and that is the first and only item I used from it. When another one broke, I emailed...
Even better idea would be a device that sorts the .45 ACP brass, then automatically destroys the SPP brass, so I don't have to waste time picking out and discarding that bean-counter blasphemy. Win-Win!
