    Objectively speaking, why the 40 S&W hate / decline?

    If your .40 is "snappy and hard to control, it is because you are making it that way. The .40 was originally loaded as a 180gr bullet doing around 950fps. That is the round the FBI found to be very effective in many different situations. Later when the "faster is always better" crowd realized...

    The American workhorse .40 S&W

    If your .40 is "snappy and hard to control, it is because you are making it that way. The .40 was originally loaded as a 180gr bullet doing around 950fps.

    7mm-08 thoughts

    At one time, I had identical Savage rifles in 7mm-08, 308, and 243 win. I tried for years to find an accurate load for the 7mm-08 and couldn't. Personally, I couldn't feel much difference between the recoil of the 308 and the 7mm-08. I kept hearing it was lower in recoil, but it was fairly easy...

    Glock 30S vs 30SF

    The grip is no smaller on the 30s, and that is always the hardest part to conceal for me. The tiny amount of difference in slide width didn't make a difference I could feel inside an IWB holster, but the increased recoil was noticeable. If I wanted thin, the G36 is thinner in grip as well.

    Glock 30S vs 30SF

    The 30s recoils more, offers no advantage in barrel length, and doesn't conceal any easier. I would go with the Gen4 G30. Better grip texture, bigger mag release.

    Glock 43 recoil??

    If you didn't like the Kahr, you aren't going to like the G43 either. The Kahr p380 and Glock 42 are much easier on recoil.

    Considering Getting Out of 40 S&W, Your Thoughts?

    This is great. I will be waiting to buy several of these cheap used 40's when the trade-in Glocks hit the stores. If your .40 is "snappy and hard to control, it is because you are making it that way. The .40 was originally loaded as a 180gr bullet doing around 950fps. That is the round the...

    My Recent Love Affair with the .243

    I keep looking at the 6.5 creedmore, but when I actually compare the numbers between it and my .243, I can't really see that much of an advantage.

    savage axis barrel accuracy.

    The bad triggers are the limiting factor on the Axis rifles. The barrels are accurate.

    9mm "too small" .40 "too snappy", has there ever been a .375 pistol caliber?

    In defense of the .40, if your .40 is "snappy and hard to control, it is because you are making it that way. The .40 was originally loaded as a 180gr bullet doing around 950fps. That is the round the FBI found to be very effective in many different situations. Later when the "faster is always...

    Glock Gen 3 or Gen 4?

    Are you talking about the conversion barrel with 6 ports in it? I don't see a normal one. Lone Wolf Website says this: PLEASE NOTE: Using this barrel in a Generation 4 Glock may cause malfunctions while using the standard Glock recoil spring assembly. For best results, install a 9mm Glock...

    Ruger Mini-14 or Mini Thirty?

    Hey "Chris born and bred in VA". With all the inexpensive but very accurate bolt actions like the Ruger American available in almost any caliber, it seems counter productive to go with something more expensive that will severely limit your power and accuracy.

    Comparison of 9mm and 45acp XDs recoil

    Here is something to consider if you are looking at 3" barrels. The 45acp is a slow moving cartridge. It was made for a 5" barrel. Out of a 3" barrel it loses a lot of velocity. At even lower velocities, it often does not expand as designed. You lose most of the benefit of the 45 over the 9mm if...

    Similar to Kahr but higher capacity?

    If the Glock 17 is too thick for you, you probably aren't going to get along with most double stack autos. Kahr makes larger target pistols too. The T9 has a really comfortable grip and a little more weight than the polymer version (The TP9). They have a 4 inch barrel, a full sized grip, and 8+1...

    reduced recoil load for 7mm-08,,, or any round

    Why not just get a .243 win? You won't need to fool with reduced loads and it will work just fine for whitetail.

    243 build

    I had a 7mm-08 that I wrestled with for two years trying to find an accurate load. I traded it for a 243 and am much more satisfied. If I wanted something bigger, I would go with a .308 win.

    243 build

    Is putting a new barrel on a Stevens now considered a "build"?

    6.5 Creedmore instead of .308?

    If you are just punching paper informally, the 243 winchester will do anything those two will with far less recoil and you can find ammo anywhere.
