Capacity mainly. That, and just because. I like shooting .22 shorts in my Marlin 39 sometimes, this would be tantamount to the same thing on a larger scale I reload, and .44 Russian brass is right around the same price as .44 Mag.

I was wondering, have any of you ever tried .44 Russian through a .44 Magnum levergun?

In general, longer sight radius is your friend when it comes to accurate shooting. How much more is the Tactical than the standard in your area? How does it balance in your hand with a full magazine as opposed to the standard?

I'm beginning to sound like a broken record in this area, but I'll advise the Waved Endura, or the Waved Delica (as CZ.22 previously suggested.) I've opened many-a frosty barley pop with my Endura.

Don't forget that strikes are only half of the equation with batons. Locks, chokes, and throws all can be applied with a little training.

Two Words: Waved Endura Of all the locking folders I've carried, this is my favorite by a long sea mile.

Practicing with a heavy (real) weapon will make you better at the game. I'm into FMA. I practice with a 36" hickory stick, and when I pick up a regular rattan escrima stick it feels like nothing. The same can be said of a real rapier and a foil. You will be stronger in the long run for...

I like them both, though the P3AT is slightly easier to hide.

You are correct. They are stainless under a painted black surface. For $35 I expected more. $4 Tramontinas perform much better, though they do rust if not properly cared for.

I had a Linder machete. I paid more for it than any other machete I've ever owned and it was by far the worst performer. It would not hold an edge for beans. I ended up giving it away.

Anyone?

Hey Ya'll, I just lucked into a gunsmith special Springfield 120A single shot .22 rifle. I've torn it down and isolated the problem (I think) and am about to order the part I need. Anyhow, I was wondering if any of you know anything about these dead simple guns. Are there any problems...

Who said anything about drawing lines? Are you familiar with the "slippery slope" logical fallacy? I'm afraid you have fallen into one in this case. It seems that you 'feel' that I am slighting Glocks. Glocks are good guns. As I said, I own two. I wouldn't own them if I thought they were...

Not at all. Most anything useful is dangerous to some extent; From bullets to garden hoses. Where did you get the idea that I would disallow Glocks because they are dangerous? All I am saying is that I think there are better thought out ways of disassembling a gun.

Most leverguns area structurally weak in design. One reason we never adopted a levergun as a military arm is the inherent weakness of the stock/action juncture when subjected to extreme forces... eg bashing an enemy across the head. Add to that the relative frailty of the mag tube, and it...
