I still don't see the need for the Ruger New Mod. BH Convertable .45 ACP/LC 5 1/2"bbl I just traded for either. But the 5+ boxes of ammo I've shot up in the past few days sure has been fun. And if I should ever need to hit the target at a longer distance with the first shot, it would be the one I reach for. (As long as I remembered to reach for my wallet first in order to have the .45 LC.s)
I let a Mod 870 Wingmaster with the interchangeable barrels get away from me in the mid 80's. Have kicked myself dozens of times since. I've heard a lot lately about how much Rem. quality has declined. But I guess the same can be said for a lot of firearms. It could be that the new S&W revolvers are of higher quality. I ain't drinking the kool aid. I'll take my old Cheif's Spec. and Mod. 14 any day over the poly & allow overpriced throwaways. I must be getting old.BAR NONE A REMINGTON MODEL710,715,770,if I was remington I'd commit suicide before I'd put my name on that piece of junk.Like one person said it's the best door stop rem. ever made I'am not even sure it's qualified for that job...
I've been shooting my old Ruger .357 mag. Security Six (1772 mod.) regularly for about 2 years now without a single problem. It's one of my favorites. Almost bought another one last week for $325 but it hadn't been treated very well at all. Some surface rust showing and was in real need of a bluing job. Also didn't have original grips.
Hadn't really planned on buying another Kahr anyway. I made what most people would call a stupid trade. My Kahr CW40 for a Ruger BH New mod. .45/.45LC Convertable. OK, so I'm down one CCW. But I couldn't hit anything with it anyway, so what good was it to me? The Kahr was one of those impulse buys I regretted almost as soon as I walked out the door with it.
I have a Taurus PT 24/7 Pro C. 9mm. And contrary to what another poster stated, I have kept track of almost every round I have personally fired. (I have 23 of the empty boxes). One round failed to feed properly because of a faulty casing and I've had some failure to fire rounds. My only complaint is that the front site fell off after about 50 rounds of non stop loading and firing. My experiance with Taurus' Customer Service with a Mod. 65 SS .357 mag. was terrible, so I doubt if I buy another. But I have to brag a bit on the 24/7. Accurate, and dependable imo.
Probably just people who have never fired them. Caliber bashing is imo a waste of time. I'll not go into the very long list of friends and relatives I have lost in this country due to guns. (Correction....idiots with guns) And guess what caliber was used most in these murders/killings? The .22short & .22LR. IT"S SHOT PLACEMENT!! Sure, I carry a larger caliber .45acp & .38 spec. bug. I just think sometimes people worry about "how big it is," when they should be more concerned with, "where's this round headed once it goes bang." Practice is more important than size. OK.....I'll shut up now. Sorry.
