Finally had the time to check out the 10mm. This is a very impressive cartridge. I had always just thought of it as a small .45 acp. The velocity and energy is very impressive in some of the Buffalo bore and Corbon loads. I can't wait to shoot one and compare it to a .357 mag. I can't wait...

Thanks for all the good replies. I am starting to think there is no one gun solution. It seems for the true potential of a magnum revolver to be realized a 3" barrel is a minimum (particularly if wanting to use it against animals and have decent control of recoil). I saw that a 3" S&W 329PD .44...

Thanks for the comments guys. Using the ballistics by the inch website: http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/357mag.html I did a rough comparison of bullet energy and velocity by caliber and barrel length. Keep in mind these are rough averages of the particular rounds tested on BBTI...

I have been thinking about buying a airweight S&W or Ruger LCR in .357, but after doing some research and handling some guns I came to the following conclusion: a round from snubnose (2" or less) .357 revolver appears to have less kinetic energy than a +P round from a compact 9mm (3" barrel)...

Serrated knives Good question about blade cutting edge types: My pursuits have kept me around a lot of ropes and lines both nautical and aeronautical. After an incident on the water with a thin steel braided wire (mast stay) that could not be cut with a common straight edge knife, I...

Thanks for the continuing advice. Things are becoming a little more clear. I had no idea firearms were so highly regulated! In the military safety is a big issue, but no more than any other dangerous system we use. I just don't get the crazy laws. Seems like 5 gals of gaoline in the wrong...

Hey guys, Thanks for the informative and professional replies! I really appreciate the great info! To answer a few questions: My dad resides in CT where I grew up, however my home of record (residence) is Florida. I own property there, have a FL drivers licencse, and vote absentee in...

This is my first post, so please bear with me. Normally I would do more research before posting, but I am in a bit of a crunch. My dad is very ill and is looking to pass on his guns to me before he is unable to. I would love to assume ownership of these guns, but my concern is I don't...
