Actually, Jeff, one can buy tungsten core shotgun slugs at any gunshow. They are produced for the military, as well as civilian use. I get mine from a company called "Fun Ammo". http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=981503 may be educational for you.

"they want to talk about gunfights and shooting through doors with ammunition from first person shooter games like tungsten core 12 gauge slugs and other things totally removed from reality" This is both snarky and unfair. I live in a part of the country where law enforcement is probably quite...

I haven't seen any evidence that there is any kind of significant majority of folks who suffer home invasion robberies where the perps are disguised as cops are drug dealers. In fact, the preponderance of these stories seem to suggest that the folks who suffer these approaches are indeed normal...

So, do you assume everybody is a drug dealer unless it is somehow proved that they aren't? Your insistence that EVERYBODY target by fake cops in home invasion scenarios makes me think you are either a cop who is worried about your safety, or a fake cop who involves himself in home invasions...

"That Nambu looks a little like a Ruger MKII" The Ruger .22 is pretty much a straight copy of the Nambu.

Wait, there were cavemen in Alabama 400 years ago?

"They're designed and built for black powder, they have chambers too short for any modern production ammo, and many have damascus barrels." Smokeless came about before 1900. In fact, you will see most 1900 era guns marked "smokeless." Indeed, if you have an old gun that is not marked...

"I can't imagine any Colt collector being "stumped" by a common, though short-lived, variation of the Colt trademark." Imagine, if you will, a collector who is starting out. Does that help?

""A woman many years ago shot one of the biggest grizzleys taken with a 22 rifle also. " Huh???" This isn't incredible at all. Finnish poachers have long used .22lr to take moose. Yes, Thelma, moose. The trick is to have a bit of knowledge about the anatomy of your prey.

"However in barrels less than 8 or 10 inches the magnum is not much better than a 22 hi speed LR." This is an old saw that is no longer true. CCI Maximags and the Hornady ballistic tip .22 magnums both offer from 100 to 400fps advantage over .22LR - out of a 1 5/8th inch barrel! Out of a...

"No revolver shoots both cartridges without some modification." No revolver will shoot both safely, out of the same cylinder. Period.

I don't. I know, stupid. But my revolver is a pain in the ass to reload anyway. I get 4 shots and then throw it at the bad guy.

Your wish is my command. http://www.local12.com/news/local/story/Robbers-Dressed-as-Police-Officer-Attack-Dry/C91wdYv_cEuTznpLyPvNiw.cspx http://cbs2.com/local/Canoga.Park.Home.2.897128.html...

"A straight grip is better for walking in the field. It is more natural and easier to carry when the barrels are pointed up. The splinter forend makes for a faster handling more instinctive gun." This is a matter of opinion. I know that I shoot a lot better with a pistol grip stock than a...

Get a nice used American gun from the turn of the century (1900). They represent a great value, are still plentiful on the market, and if you choose one properly it will only appreciate.

I'm surprised this wasn't the first response. Nothing beats a .22 handgun for staying sharp.

"kinda of a bitch to engage" Understated. It has simply the very worst, most pathetic unusable safety I have ever encountered. Horrible. I know about 5 or 6 people who own a Mosin-Nagant, and not a single one messes with the safety on that thing. Otherwise, great GREAT rifle. Simple...

Ugly? Any gun with a generic factory engraved scene. My god, they are trite. I'm not even sure what the purpose of non-personalized, generic engraving is. And adding gold to it just makes things worse.

"Unless you are selling drugs out of your home, you have almost a zero percent chance of having to worry about home invaders posing as the police." Somehow I don't believe you. Are you sure that this only happens to drug dealers?

The one on the left screams handload to me. Does any manufacturer make lead 9mms?
