Weapons of mass destruction are typically banned in most states...

I go with your reasoning as well... For me, my Henry 22LR lever is a great little game-getter/knockaround rifle. Light, accurate, not too threatening looking (unless it's pointed at you - and any rifle looks threatening then), and with 15 shots on hand - it'll put out decent amounts of lead...

Golden Loki's tests with FMJ say the 8" isn't true. All seem to do at least 13" of penetration - when fired from the diminutive P-32 as well. That seems to be plenty of penetration...

Sure it may be overkill to shoot deer with a .50BMG but if he's doing it in a safe manner to others why not? The problem is - what about a bad hit at those long ranges he wants to use? Say a shot into the hindquarter leaving the deer out there at 800, 1000 yards to sit and suffer? How long...

Mortars, howitzers, 50BMG? I wouldn't be comfortable with any of those against an agitated buck...

Whenever one of my SOG knives is getting a bit dull, I just stop on by their office (I live in the Lynnwood, WA area) and they sharpen, lube, adjust and tighten everything for me for free. Even had them replace a blade on my Flash II that got knicked - didn't even ask about it, they just...

I use a Pocket Holster for my Kel-Tec P32. It's in my right-rear pocket where a wallet normally would be. If I need to draw, it simply looks like I'm reaching for my wallet. Convenient, completely normal to reach for if I'm being robbed, and in a location that no one even pays attention to a...

SOG Flash II as a nice, compact, tough folder for most things. SOG PowerLock EOD or similar multi-tool, always handy. SOG Hunter Revolver - one end a nice 5" blade with gut hook on back, the other end a nice 5" sawtooth blade. Fixed-type configuration, very handy! Oh, and it's SOG...

I like purpleheart. Hard, tough, decent weight, and beautiful wood as well - no one would think a figured chunk of purple colored wood would be anything but a decorative cane/walking stick!

A hot load from an S&W500. Hit the target, decided I'd rather not punish myself physically or aurally with the remaining shots, and handed the revolver back to the owner. Too many shots from that hand-cannon would have done a number on my aging wrists, and ruined the rest of the day.

Another vote for the Henry - 21 rounds of short is a lot of fun! As far as measuring the SPL of the rifle on your iPhone, it probably won't work very well. The integration window on most SPL software/meters is much too long to catch the peak. You'd need to make a digital recording of the...

@ThompsonCustom: Its tested out of a 5 inch revolver. That must be one special load! Commercial loads don't get close to that, even the hot Cor-Bon loads.
