    .45 Caliber Cartridges best all around short range defense and hunter? Or not?

    Well, I haven't been here for a long time....but I spotted this thread. I carry a .45 ACP Colt Commander almost every day...usually. However, I've also had occasion to carry a Ruger New Vaquero in .45 Colt. I'm a firm believer in a big, slow-moving bullet with a large frontal mass. But, as Sam...

    "Official" i594 Rally Thread - December 13, 2014

    'Theohazard' Don't believe for a nano-second that the police don't know what a "transfer" is. That's pretty well defined at the bottom of Page 6 of the Initiative. What they're really saying is that they have no intention of confirming to the general publi that this measure is as big a stinker...

    Biggest cartridge flops ...

The late Ted Wilcox, another gun writer from the Northwest, and I had this chat about the .357 Max. he said some were claiming it would make the .41 Magnum obsolete and I had a good laugh over that one. Right up front I predicted it would be a flash in the...

    Yes I am in Need of HELP

    Walker, with all due respect..ARE YOU NUTS? :D You must have a death wish. It's not clear what your ambulance trip was all about, but it must have almost killed you so.... If you want to attend the next Christmas party, don't press your luck. Item No. 2...a new rifle is not "a toy."...

    NRA Directors election

    Mokin: Not to be combative, but it's up to each of us to know who to vote for. A lot of people have different reasons for voting against someone. I'd never allow someone to tell me who to vote for and who not to vote for, and I'd never ask that kind of advice from someone else.

    Washington State I-594 is Firearm Registration

    Stressed: Alas, that may have been another time in another place... perhaps a fantasy place that is Gone With The Wind... but the reality is we're here, and we're here now. And as I wrote today, Bill Gates has just ponied up with $25K. This ain't good. :cuss:
