Ow (or, I'm a big sissy)

[carebear]

So I took the 85 Ti out to the range Saturday to try the 135 gr. +P's for familiarzation and accuracy.

I have the Taurus wood boot grip on it and the package is slick enough that by round 5 (quick) it was kicked way back in my hand and my palm was smarting.

Reminded me of a slightly more pleasant version of shooting full-house .357's in the Smith Airweight J-Frames. Not so much of the slapped in the palm with a stick of rebar though.

I may just stick with the standard velocity .38's and try the 135-ers in my 2.5" M19.

Cause I'm a wuss.

You big sissy!

I think Hogues would ease that a bit. Did that with M85 which is heavier of course - does help.

And here I thought all you Alaskans were real men. I’m shocked. And dismayed.

 

[carebear]

Yeah Vern, I figured that out.

P95, having Hogues (rubber I assume) on takes my little pocket pistol into oversized sticky grip territory.

I'd rather wimp out and go to standard velocity OR carry the +P's but carefully consider the amount of shooting an assailant might really need prior to firing.

That was about my opinion, Yeeoww! I'm a wimp and freely admit it when it comes to J-frames or their copies. SP-101 is about as small as I enjoy. Been wabting to try a J sized .32mag in hopes I could enjoy that.

 

[carebear]

At least I don't wear ladies shoes Riley, so I still got that goin' for me.

I doubt you'd feel much of anything when engaging an assailant. I'd practice with 38's and carry 38+P. If you handload the world is yours.

Vern, I'm going to use that.

up here we have Men and then theres just plain ol men. the difference being how willing you are to torture yourself in the alaskan environment. do you layer your clothes when the temp gets below 45 degrees? do you wear out more gloves in a year than underwear? do you whine and cry when you have to go start your car in the morning before going to work?

its not about how much hair you have on your chest or how your ugliness makes small children cry. you can be a paper pushing soft handed pansy and still be more manly than he-man and she-ra put together.
take carebear for example. when he shoulders anything larger than a .243 he starts saying 'ow!' or when he picks up a handgun larger than .32acp his hand cramps up. he gets charlie horses from using a swingline stapler.

now you're probably thinking 'what use does a guy like carebear have in a state like alaska'? good question! for starters he is what the ladies (and some effeminate men) call 'eyecandy'. so we use him to get us real Men introduced to the ladies. see were so manly we frighten the fairer sex, and without carebear our cabin fever would probably get to the point where its fatal.

 

[carebear]

That's all lies.....

Except for the part about how damn handsome I am.

 

[spacemanspiff]

i dont think i've ever referred to you as 'handsome', much less 'damn handsome'. as far as i recall you fall into the 'pretty' category.
hmm, should i use the winking similie? aww why not! but not as a sign of flirting! hmm, i seem to be digging myself into a hole here.
