No; I got it. I just disagree with your assumptions and conclusions. But you missed my point. The link above is to a web page with links to PDF copies of the report on the tests in question. Give it a read. It will help to clarify the actual details and refute hyperbole such as ... ...and...

LOL :D The mis-information continues! And you know all these facts how? Not meaning to start a pi$$ing contest here (and this will be my last post on the subject), but the least you could do is get the dates right, eh? Have you at least actually read it for yourself? Or are you so firmly in...

Then you may also want to take a look at this page: http://www.chuckhawks.com/handgun_power_chart.htm ...which is part of this great site: http://www.chuckhawks.com/index2.guns.htm

HUGE subject, and since you clearly are just getting started it would be hard to say where to get started! The short version of the answer is that the caliber has to do with the diameter of the bullet (cross section). But there is much more to it than that. When we say ".45 caliber" or ".45 acp"...

And here is another stock Yugo model -- 5 digit serial number:

Agreed. I use them "all the time" (an average of one shot a week or so, depending on season) in both revolvers (S&W J frame) and autos (M1911). Never had any problems.

As long as the action and bore are in good shape that is a fair price. You might be able to work him down to $100 if you care to negotiate a bit. If it has any age on it at all the stock will have a fair amount of wear and tear visible. But there is enough wood there to sand all of that right...

I've never seen any in .380. As far as I know, these are the only centerfire cartridges you find them in: http://www.cci-ammunition.com/default.asp?menu=1&s1=4&s2=21 .

I have a Yugo SKS and love it. Cost about $100. Spent a few days cleaning the cosmoline off and then refinishing the stock. Stained it real dark with a touch of cherry, just like the color seen on antique flintlocks. Doesn't shoot any better but looks great! Mine is as plain as they come...

And to add.... work on trigger pull. What works on a shotgun doesn't always transfer to rifles and hanguns... use a nice, smooth pull to prevent your sights from coming off target. And "follow through" by keeping your eyes on target as the gun goes off.

Ditto. Mine came with "both barrels"... one for .357 Sig and another for .40 S&W. Only sign of wear is holster wear on the slide.

Use only one eye at longer range so you make best use of the sights. If you use an isoceles stance you should be able to shoot right handed while still using your left eye for sighting. Get your shoulders forward of your hips to help steady yourself. Getting rid of your hand & arm wobble will...

Trusty S&W Chief's Special (J frame snubby, .38 special). Goes with me everywhere except on special occasions (when dressing up requires something a little slimmer, or circumstances beg for something bigger). Sent another rattler to the maker with it just yesterday. Wouldn't be without it.

After reading through this thread yesterday, I decided to take my fairly new Mini-14 (a 580- series model) to the range today for some first hand observation. It was not a good day for shooting... wind gusting from the right at speeds from 5mph to 15mph or so, with the occasional dust devil...

The hands-down answer is the .308 Winchester. That cartridge uses a "short action," giving you much more versatility in platform than the longer .30-06. If you are a handloader, you might prefer the .30-06 for the flexibility offered by its longer case. But my recommendation is that if you...

I use a Bianci Lawman for my 6.5" Blackhawk. Perfect for the job. I'm sure you'll be happy with the Lawman if Harve Curry is willing to part with his. If you want to look at some other options, take a gander at this: http://www.mernickleholsters.com/pssys/ps6sasys.html and if you want...

Paste wax.

Yep -- that's it in a nutshell. You can't blame WalMart, or any merchant, for making good business decisions. If the local trade in guns doesn't justify carrying the inventory they just won't do it. Its not like they are opposed to guns or anything. Our local WalMart has actually expanded...

What? No single-action (cowboy style) revolver on the list? 6. Shotgun for HD, dove, quail hunting --- a Remington 870 with a 26" remchoke barrel for hunting and an 18" fixed choke barrel (imp cyl or mod) and extended mag tube for HD 8. .22 semi-auto --- Ruger 10/22 9. Lever action...

Very possibly a true story. While there were only a few Americans left there during '72 and the final pull out in '73 (relative to, say, 1969) there were some. While the odds are low.... someone had to be there, so why wasn't it him? It was common for draftees to be given the option of...
