Who is going to carry a 30 oz gun when there are literally hundreds of revolvers that weigh in around 20 oz that are just as capable as the GP100. The 38 spl is a special run and it is not as strong as the 357 standard model. To save people from making a bad choice conceal a brick for a couple...
I am truly sorry your thread got trashed. I am just flat out tired of some idiot saying a pistol with a 4" barrel or in this case a 5" barrel will perform like pistol with an adequate barrel. Every expert and chronograph in the world says they are full of bull crap.
I am just trying to help...
Kodiak have you tried the 460 ammo from Georgia Arms? It's not as stout as double tap but it goes bang. I shot 200 rounds of it without a hitch. They only sell FMJ but that is all you need for target practice. It's $73 for 100 rounds.
One of the reasons I want a X frame is it will force me...
I would get a 357 mag even if you plan to shoot 38 spl +p. You can resell a 357 mag if you need to raise cash. If you have a 38 spl you will lose a couple hundred. If a 38 is what you want buy a used S&W model 10 from buds. Someone will have to have the S&W. I have seen people pay a lot of...
I am considering buying an X frame. I borrowed my friends X frame with an 8.5 barrel. I really liked the gun. I kept it for two weeks. By the time I took it back I was hitting a golf ball every third shot at ranges from 7 to 25 yards. I have a place where I cleared brush. There are...
The local sheriffs dept wanted to buy a case of Fiocchi 125 gr 357 ammo. Fiocchi states that the ammo is supposed to make 1700 fps. Out of a 4" barrel they were getting varied results some as low as 1200 fps. I have a Dan Wesson with a 10" barrel that was in my tool box. Out of the Dan...
I have had bad experiences with the Old English for dark wood. If the finish is scratched to the bare wood it will just leave a big black mark. Since my guns get a couple coats of the Old English for light wood every year eventually the scratch will blend in. In fact, when I get a new gun I...
I am split on this issue. I have two Kel Tec's that are a royal PITA. They both break all the time. But they are easy to carry in my pocket so I keep fixing them. I have so many Hi Point pistols that I don't even know where they all are at. I never do anything to the Hi Points but spray them...
I own a pair of diamondbacks. Unless you work on them all the time it's difficult to spot a broken or worn part without a new one to compare it with. The damage is often only a 1/16" worn off a part. I have given up on trying to repair revolvers unless the damage is obvious. All I can do is...
You are talking about CUP and I am talking about velocity and energy on the target. I would only use an X frame for hunting or defense against large animals. I want a long sight plain so I can hit the beast and a balanced gun so I can fire it quickly..
Moreover, you have admitted you have...
What is the point in spending $1100 or more on an X frame with a 5" barrel? I can buy a 44 mag redhawk with a 7.5" barrel that will come close to equalling the performance. The X frame weighs close to 3 lb without a barrel. What difference is couple ounces going to make for an adequate...
I really like the X frame. it is one of the most accurate guns I have ever shot that didn't have any work done to it. The 460 is one rocking cartridge. The X frame with a 10" barrel is one of the I want to own guns on my list. Buying an X frame with a short barrel is like pissing up a...
Unless they were a gift I wouldn't buy any of the combinations. The Anaconda was the only desirable gun on the list. Three of the lists had Glocks in them. I have a DA POS I don't need or want more.
I don't know that a squib would block the barrel of a 25. I had a squib in my 357 mag with a 10" barrel. Only the primer pushed a 158 gr JSP out of the barrel. I know the 357 has a larger primer but everything is relative. The 25 cal probably has a 3" or smaller barrel.
What got me started is I am instinctive shooter I learned to shoot while hunting. I would go to the local club with a mossberg 500 and win a few bucks off mediocre shots. One day an old man challenged me. I said if you are shooting a 12 ga I will shoot a 5 round freeze out with you. Over the...
Dogs aren't that great until they are two. He might need a gun while the dog grows up. My dog is getting old. I am in search of puppy now. It's just a matter of time, I will look under a junk car or in an old barn and the perfect set of eyes will look into my eyes.
Buds gun shop has the walmart version for $407. I would spend the extra money for the Walnut 336 if it was my dream gun.
I have Mossberg pumps that were made in the day when all shotguns had a walnut stock. They don't have nick on the stock. I am rough on shotguns. I don't hesitate to...
Trunk Monkey I would imagine your area is about like mine. We have three churches in 5 miles of here, plus we have a biker church and a cowboy church. I have been to all of them and I have friends at all the churches. If I felt uncomfortable at my home church for whatever reason I would visit...
