hey does the 627 come in blued finish? whats the deal with s&w only doing shiny stainless these days? and i want to bump this guys question:

truth be told i'm fairly certain it is something simple.. simpler than simple. There is a single magazine which faulted me both times on the last/second to last round, so i'm pretty sure it is the culprit. (that or my dirty gun) However the malfunctions caught me on a bad day and i'm taking...

I briefly considered the colt trooper but if I'm not mistaken it shares the same firing pin problem that the python and king cobra have. That whole issue about how they can only be replaced/repaired by the colt factory is something i do not like at all in a revolver. I want lifelong durability...

I am in the market for a 4" 357 magnum revolver (my 1911 jammed 2x in my last range visit and i am spiteful). Even though i am a die hard colt fanatic pythons are just too expensive and collectible to be a used and abused nightstand/utility gun. That said i find myself trying to decide...

Gryffydd think about that.. you're insisting that you need a gun that will be shooting before you are even mentally capable to evaluate what you are doing. you already admitted you would not mentally be ready that quickly (assess the threat), but you are still eager to shoot as fast as you...

Have you ever been mugged? and if so did you shoot him? I haven't been mugged and i don't carry a gun solely waiting for the opportunity to kill the spontaneous mugger. I'd rather give him my wallet than shoot him, to me killing is a last resort. If he's going to kill me it will likely be...

Did you read the question? The OP was asking about fmj vs HP in .45. You brought up the age old 45 vs 9 caliber war for what? you brought up quilted Korean's for what? In the case of your bullet-proof korean's i do not know what you are trying to say here.. fmj (which was used) is known to be...

I've never owned one myself but have seen and heard a thing or two about them. They are dirt cheap to purchase. Acceptable accuracy despite being a bit clunky. Functional as any gun can be. Supposedly one of the best factory warranties of any manufacturer (they'll just send you a new one if...

I only ever have FMJ in .45, it's big enough on it's own. Always has been. In the world of ball ammo .45 is still king

As the OP maybe i should clarify, I know condition 1 is safe. I'm not trying to take it away from you or tell you my way is better for any reason (i mean no offense). I'm just making the point that Condition 2 is also safe despite increasingly frequent internet propaganda stating otherwise...

what is better and why? i realize neither is practical or necessary but i'm just curious. it seems like its just clarkcustomguns vs acecustom45s to do the same job and i'm wondering who's winning.

agreed. disagree. first you say theres no such thing, now you say there is...:confused: i dont like this comparison because it is ridiculously scaled up. But, since you will agree to nothing less than a Mark7 naval shell having hydrostatic shock, compare that to the much slower black powder...

saturno_v This is true. :scrutiny: Therefore vacuum's are not relevant in anyway to this example.. what are you trying to prove here? the practical application of both as described encompasses wind resistance and the computations are "rough" as i originally said. For that matter, the bullet...

This has gone too far in a nonsensical direction and I feel I must step in. Didn't any of you pass high school physics? Inertia (Momentum) is calculated by the equation P=mv (mass*velocity) going by bullet numbers imparted earlier this thread that means 9mm 147gr @ 1032 fps = 147x1032 =...
