Ruger Frontier in .358 Winchester. Manhurin 73 revolver in .357 magnum.

Nice! What key is that Hohner in?

There are many good songs in this thread, but it bugs me that so few of them are about civilians justifiably defending themselves or loved ones. Most are about criminals or war. I'm surprised Hand of Fate by the Stones hasn't been mentioned yet. The hand of fate is on me now It pick me up and...

Yup. This happened to me the first time I shot a .50 Desert Eagle. I had to duck my head out of the way to keep the pistol from hitting me in the face. I didn't fire a second shot. A year or two later I shot the same pistol again with no trouble at all. Muzzle rise was probably 20 or 30...

Hey, it's chambered for my favorite revolver cartridge, too! Cool!

The phrases "fullbore autolock", "double cartridge" and "thorough gauge" are the reasons Joss Whedon is never allowed to invent his own gun terminology ever again.

Like Seven High, I would like to know what books or other instructional materials you knowledgeable sap users would recommend. Also, where can we buy the best ones?

.22lr - Freedom Arms .380 - SIG P232 9mm - Mauser C96 (so clunky-cool it's gorgeous - Han Solo had taste) .40 - Pick a S&W revolver chambered in it .45 - Same, or the Colt 1917 .38 - S&W model 15 .357 - Python .44Mag - Redhawk blackpowder - 1858 Remington is the...

I don't know what it will look like, but it will probably be something adopted by a large government agency, like 10mm/.40S&W. So it almost certainly won't be a rimmed revolver round.

I thought I had read a post by Old Fuff or dfariswheel that said that 20,000 psi was the original SAAMI standard for .38 special. Then SAAMI lowered it to 17,000 psi around 1974. Then SAAMI brought back the old 20,000 psi standard but relabeled it as +P. This contradicts Chuck Hawks, clearly...

Very, very nice. Kudos! Do you plan to use it in competition?

Cokeman, I think I'm in love. How well does she shoot? What is she chambered for?

Pretty! I like the look of the grips, as well as the finish. Let us know how well she shoots!

From noon on December 31st, 2000 to noon on January 1st, 2004 is three years and one day. If you chose one random date from 2000 and one random date from 2004, there would be a 25% chance that the two dates would be closer to three years apart than 4 years apart. Why assume that Boricua9mm...

I'd call S&W. They should be willing to fix it for you without charging you.

Also, ye can sew those ribbons to yer clothes.

A canny buccaneer be tying a long strand of silk between each brace of his pistols and wearing those strands around his neck. That way, he can drop his pistols after firing 'em, without losing 'em. A smart pirate also be wearin' an eyepatch even if he has two good eyes, if he be part of the...

I'll join. Mine is a -1 with standard black plastic boot grips.

Tomrkba: you see .45 Colt as a good self-defense round, but not .45acp? Why?

I am pretty sure I saw one run across a highway in broad daylight in central Kentucky a few years ago. My mom's husband is from there, and insisted there are no mountain lions in Kentucky. He and Mom saw it too. It was strange looking and moving fast, but it moved like a cat and was way too...
