The original 357 was designed around a 158 gr. pill. I will not shoot a 125 gr. pill through mine because of numerous reasons such as handling, as well as fire-cutting on the top strap and forcing cone problems, among other problems. -Yes the GP100 or 686 can handle it but the gun was...

Pax, But then you would have surprise on your side, using the pea-shooter mini-revolver. I think if I was facing a hardened criminal, I'd rather him see me as defenseless (where he can't see the weapon in hand) until that last moment, to gain the element of surprise (hoping that his guard...

I find it real creepy that his last name "Freund", means friend in German... -p

This is gonna be a short thread! -:neener: -

FMJ thoughts Posted this on another thread about FMJ vs. HP: ************************ I'm a huge proponent for FMJ for the 1911. -Reliability in any autoloader is paramount. Even if it's a minimal gain, it's a worthwhile investment. With most pistols, I doubt, no matter what it's loaded...

Amish Bill, I'd go for the 158gr. It's what I load up on for my GP100. Here's my reasoning (125gr. vs. 158gr.): -Less flash than 125gr. (night-shooting) -Less blast (ear damaging in defensive shooting) -Less snap (does have a bit more push, but I prefer a push to a snap: you'll...

jFruser, My goodness, how is not supporting a war one believes to be a waste of American lives translated into supporting the other side. What kind of leap of logic is that. So ANY war once impelled by the POTUS must be followed and supported without dissent? Have you read any history...

PdxVet, Welcome. -Paco

Gentlemen, sometimes the bitterness from a single act or season of pain can stain a soul for the rest of its time on the earth. -All you can do is pray for those with such scars and thank God you don't have them. -Paco

Jeff-10 "Clinton was the architect of one of the most unconstituitonal laws of all time, the AWB." -Come on brother, Bush's Patriot Act makes me wish for the by-gone days of AWB Clinton... -Talk about unconstitutional....... -Paco

Dear Art and Vern, I must admit, despite myself, I'm intensely interested in this thread. Both sides got me thinking. -Now my uncles were both in 'Nam for three tours each. They signed up, and asked to go back: they believed they were doing right. Now, for the whole spitting thing: it...

From your list, I'd say the G19 as well, if you can conceal it well. For a gun that's gonna be sweated upon all day, has great reliability and durability (indestructable tennifer finish), and shoots a decent caliber, it's heads and shoulders above the others on your list. -Next choice would...

Go for a good revolver! You can start with dirt, dirt cheap .38 specials then move up to .357 or just buy a dedicated .38. A dedicated 38. revolver is a joy to shoot, inherently very accurate, doesn't give a hoot if you shoot reloads, lead, jacketed, slightly dirty, blackpowder, smokeless...

Oops, I guess that was a rifle and not a handgun... As for handguns? I'd say I really, really miss my Ruger Vaquero. Like an incomprehensible idiot, I sold it to fund a Mossy 590, which I wound up getting rid of because I actually wanted the 590A1 and had bought the wrong gun. -This topic...

I got a story for you: -When I moved up from Florida to New Jersey, I had a very sweet AR15 with a free-floating fluted precision barrel, match trigger and topped with a very nice variable Leupold... -God, it makes me sick even recounting all this.... Anyway.... -I had to move to NJ for...

I'm gonna have to disagree with the whole short barrel, mechanical accuracy bit. If this was the case then a scoped varmint rifle barrel would only need to be 6 in or some such thing, but length of barrel equates to burn time for the propellent, which, among other things means speed. Speed and...

It's disturbing how much anecdotal evidence and huge leaps of pseudo-logic are being used here. -Forget Kerry: he's not president. No one has ANY idea, as plainly seen with every president we've ever had, how such-and-such a man/woman will ultimately pan out. We can guestimate at best. To...

Ragged claws nailed it.

Dear Bart Noir, Ha! Sincerely, Paco :neener: p.s. Nema, good work! You'll get your treat later!
