The longer I have carried concealed the lighter my load has become. A full size auto with 2 mags was my freshman carry. Today it is one of my many compact guns most with a capacity of 8 or less. The difference between my freshman years and today is I'm carrying 24/7. If I wearing a suit, I'm...

Wow let us see. For +$500 I can get a new Ruger SR-22, which is basically a new look for an $180 rifle, that only has 10 round rotary factory mags. Or Get a GSG-5 , A S&W MP-22, A colt .22 AR :rolleyes: the original 10/22 was a decent rifle, but today with their plastic trigger group...

I prefer .380 as a minimum SD round. The problem with both the .32 and .22lr is penetration an expansion. Most .22lr and .32acp HP rounds do not expand, and the ones that do, like .22lr Stingers and .32acp corbons, do not penetrate well at all. Below is a bunch of gel test links. Pretty much a...

I just think microstamping is just silly in that it will only be a speedbump to most criminals with a brain enough to get rid of the microstamp, or to swap parts. I'll admit I hate when pro-gunners are over the top anti-gun control. I got into a heated argument with a Rambo pro gunner that...

Me personally, I would not miss with a .38. :D Again I'm talking about someone who cannot handle a .38. I shot firearms all my life, and I assume have been shooting firearms for the same length of time. Some people, new to shooting, or because of some physical limitation just cannot handle...

Like everyone else with glasses has said, I keep a pair of glasses on the nightstand. I usually wear contacts and my eyes are not real bad, but I find Target Recognition and night vision improves with my glasses on. Your legal pitfall would be shooting someone who was obviously not a threat.

Unfortunately reliable, shootable, power, and concealability was the lesson of the day for these .22 revolvers. http://www.bobby-kennedy.com/rfkassassination.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reagan_assassination_attempt Sorry Vern but everytime I here someone recommend a...

Yea sure some people say a .22lr revolver is a poor stopper and will only get a bad guy mad:rolleyes: Tell that to Robert Kennedy and James Brady. If a .22 is all you can handle, it will work just fine

My new retirement plan is buying $300 S&W 10 at my local shop and selling them on gun broker for $680. Gunbroker is full of gun shops willing to sell Hi-points for $250 and tons of suckers willing to pay well beyond MSRP for handguns.

This story must truly be false. Anti-war hippies don't own guns or commit violence, and there is no way someone who is mentally unstable can buy a gun in a tough gun state like New Jersey :rolleyes:

For comparsion of .22lr and .22wmr chronys, NAA has a ballistics chart http://www.naaminis.com/naaveloc.html

Sometimes what your looking for is right under your nose.:banghead: After all this searching I noticed someone did a wetpack test right here on THR in 2005. Real interesting results. Also check out the bottom of the thread. Someone linked a site with tons of Gel test. Expansion with wetpack...

Problem is then you get a small in and out hole, and .22 is real small. If .22wmr JHP coming out of NAA mini fails to expand, then its a moot point, your better off with a solid. But if you get decent penetration and expansion then its a bonus. Your not going to know unless someone does a test...

Interesting. I would love to see a penetration/expansion test. I never seen one done for the Magnum Minis.

supraneurotoxin??? twoi thing. Is your 941 trigger still extremely heavy and is the .22mag super loud when you shoot it?
