    The 3 most underrated hunting calibers.

    I'd say .223. I've taken many deer with 55 gr SP's. I know it works. Yet, I read many opinions that say it isn't up to the task. Accurate shot placement is the key - no matter what the caliber.

    Rio Royal Buck (00/#1/#4) compared to Federal Tactical 00 Buckshot

    A lot went into this comparison. It is much appreciated.

    Browning Hi-Power Grips

    Take a look here: http://www.grips4u.net/category/pistol-grips/browning/browning-hi-power-1/. This guy makes some beautiful grips and they are affordable. I've used some of his grips and have been pleased.

    S&W finally did wht most of us thought with the Shield

    Thinking of those deep discounts makes me wish I'd bought another 1.0 when they were cheap. It's a fine pistol.

    .32 ACP Cartridge -FMJ or Hollowpoint?

    Shot placement can not be over sold with these smaller calibers. I carry the surplus FN FMJ flat nose exclusively in my little pocket gun. Its reliable for feed and function. I trust it to do its job if I do mine. Out West

    Gun Test's Magazine...XD-9 vs HK P-30 vs Ruger SR9

    Those XD's are popular! I bet if President Obama owned a gun, he'd own an XD - and he could probably buy any gun he wants. Out West

    PIctures from Afghanistan

    Nice pics. Looks like morale is high. Our guys look fit, happy and ready. Let's pray that they take care of business and that they all come home. God bless our troops. Out West

    Single Stack 40 for Carry

    Find yourself a S&W 4013. Sweet piece of gun work. Thin, so it conceals easy. Alloy frame, so its not too heavy to carry all day. Reliable and accurate, in case you actually have to use it. Not made any more, but can be found at gun shows or on the boards. Out West

    Best gun review I have ever seen!

    Dang, I couldn't finish it: too hard to listen to all the slang. Also noticed that the guy has finger nails that look like my wife's. Yuck. I can relate to owning a new pistol. Its a great feeling. That's about as far as I can go. Out West

    Boar attacking hunters?

    Interesting video. The guy with the rifle hesitated to shoot the charging pig. Once his buddies start to shoot, the guy with the rifle is almost in the line of fire! Scary. Nice big pig. They can get mean. Couple of years ago I was hunting in NE Texas on my buddies place. I had arrived...

    Hydrostatic damage

    I know it exists because I have seen the effect from shooting deer with .223. It may be "all that" for stopping critters - shutting down the CNS, etc., but its hard on the meat. I took my nephew hunting two years ago. He had a single shot 223. He made a decent shot at 100 yards and downed a...

    .41 vs .44

    My vote goes for the 41 Mag - mostly because its what I have already invested in. I have taken deer with my 41 Mag lever rifle and they drop dead like they were hit with a .308 . I limit my range to under 100 yards and the deer I have taken have been much closer to 50 yards or under. I love...

    Witness 45. Any info?

    The all steel Witness in Wonder Finish is a terrific value. I have both 45acp and 40 S&W calibers. I won't say that they out shoot my 1911's, but they are half the price or less, offer hi cap magazines, plus the option of adding additional barrels or complete top ends just about every popular...

    Getting a handgun parkerized?

    Ever consider a Melonite treatment? It provides much better resistance to the elements than parkerizing. I had a pistol refinished this way by Coal Creek Armory and was very pleased with the results. Out West
  15. Out West

    One handgun and one long gun for self defense and reliabilty.

    Easy decision... ...S&W 627 PC 8 shot .357 mag and scoped CZ 452 22. I can defend and eat just about anywhere in the world. Plus, I can carry enough ammo on my back to last more than year. Out West

    7.62 x 39 as a hunting cartridge?

    In the last two years I have taken 4 white tail bucks with my CZ 527 in 7.62X39. Works fine for me. Cheap to practice with as well. I think the comments about shot placement are right on the money - for any caliber you shoot. Out West

    Opening morning in Texas

    Nothing moving in the part of TX I was hunting. Rainy in the day time and a bright moon at night. Saw turkey for the first time at this place. Next time out I will be down in Fredericksburg - always see deer down there. Out West

    FIRST GUN: SW99, PT145PRO, P99 ?

    Find a SW99 - you will be happy. All the mechanicals are identical to the Walther. I like the slide configuration better. Best of all you save yourself $$. Out West

    Rebuttal to Kerry's "I hunt but I don't need an AK-47 for it"

    I killed a very nice 7 point buck this year with one round of 7.62 X 39. Should it make any difference that it was delivered by a bolt action instead of a AK? Think that the buck would notice any difference? Out West

    Who hunts with a lever action?

    I have a Marlin lever action in 41 mag. that I harvested both deer and feral pig with in TX. Very accurate and a fair stopper. OW
