What really happens
I have this conversation with LEOs and they say that the hit rate for police officers is like 30%. I wonder if having hi cap has gotten into the heads of police and they just do not place shots as accurately as they used to when they had revolvers.
Have to put mine in.
I carry a S&W TTR8. When you take off the steel accessory rails you have a very light gun with a 5 inch barrel and eight rounds of doubletap 180gr hardcast .357...considering how light it is it is really easy to control. If I trusted my life to an auto I would be really...
It is all fun
The .500 is just great entertainment. I actually saw it as a simple way to go. Just reload to whatever power requirement you need. From featherweights to 720 grains it can do everything. The .460 is better for longer range shots but I go 50-85 yards generally and got scared...
When shooting 38 and 357 together I have heard that shooting a lot of 38 and then switching to 357 (or maybe the reverse) is bad because the residue from the one can cause a pressure spike or something to that effect. Is this true? If so what is the best order of operations for shooting these...
I just bought a spyderco Waved Endura after reading so many good reviews for such a reasonabley priced knife. The speeddialer sheath sounds great, anyone have one? Does it work as advertised? Which model?
I have been looking at Kimbers Guardian Angel pepperspray delivery system. Looks...
Dont have a picture but
I have a 327 TRR8 (nice picture above) I love the gun, but the houge monogrips seem to interfear with loading 357s when using the moon clips. The 38's get in just fine but the longer 357s cannot be lined up as fast because they back of the shell bumps the grip...I was...
Since drilling with moon clips in my 8 shot 357 I am changing my mind about "slow to reload" And I like being able to go from a soft 38 special to a buffalo bore 357 with 800lb of energy coming out of the muzzle. Bottom line is that I have had to many malfunctions with autos, mostly failure to...
the 454
The 454 in a freedom arms with a comperable barrel is tougher on the hands then the .500...the .500 comes straight back where as the 454 has that sharp flip as well....like the .40 vs the .45.
One for the .500
IF YOU RELOAD, why not go with the .500? I bought it because it covers all the bases.
Want a really soft shooter with 1100lbs of energy? .500 featherweights are great. Stronger than any .44mag but soft to shoot in the big X frame and you can load anything inbetween, up...
I wish it were so
Say no to a cop and you will find yourself with some trumped up charges real fast IMO. In this situation they have absolute power and can destroy your life however they want. Remember the movie crash? As a teen driving a cheap car in a rich neighborhood, I was subjected to...
Nothing personal to anyone but....
I think of the warriors of the past carrying two hand swords weighting 15+lbs. I dont really see what the big deal is carrying an extra pound or two to have a double action revolver that (up close) can take just about anything on the planet. I carry a pack...
Thanks
Excellent replies as always. I got an 870 wingmaster. I was just hung up on the mag option and I see that it is not a big deal. Appreciate the replies
1) 2 3/4 vs 3inch mag. More powder or more lead, or both? Any problem feeding the 2 3/4 in a 3 inch gun? (reliability is #1) I am looking at an 870
2) Any suggestion for the highest penetration in a 000? Is there a really hard nickle plated brand that you can suggest?
3) Any online...
I have ultra dot and aimpoint...
I have shot the ultradot off my .500mag with 500gr fullstrength loads about 200times. Totally striped out the rings that come with the ultra dot (I have the match dot) you need steel rings for sure. The match dot is a fine sight and a GREAT value. My aimpoint...
I have an aimpoint on a .500 and after about 40 shots the mount screw starts to loosen. It is one of those wide A.R.M. rings which is supposed to be super strong. I read about people putting lock tight (blue?) on screws...is this a good fix? I would be really happy if I could just crank it...
