    BIDEN TELLS ISRAEL THE USA WILL NOT BACK A COUNTERATTACK

    I think it's actually worse than that. I think Biden is genuinely suffering from dementia and that in his deluded state he believes he is the one running the circus. The bigger worry is that I don't belive that Biden has a group of shadowy handlers directing things but rather this...

    BIDEN TELLS ISRAEL THE USA WILL NOT BACK A COUNTERATTACK

    As utterly appalling as that whole situation is and as terrifying the prospect is that we get sacked into this, I derive grim satisfaction from the no win situation Biden is in here, no matter what his play is he is totally screwed.

    What is the most powerful, commonly available, short action cartridge?

    I can't recall the specifics nor the names of the guy but I do remember reading that a fellow went to Winchester with a series of cartridge designs that were extremely similar if not identical to what would become the WSSM cartridges with in the hope that Winchester would adopt and produce them...

    What is the most powerful, commonly available, short action cartridge?

    I thought the WSSMs were all defunct due to a lawsuit? In any the 3 WSSM cartridges I'm familiar with (I did research prior to posting this thread) merely duplicate longer cartridges. The .223 WSSM is equivalent to the .220 Swift, the .243 WSSM is equivalent to the .243 Winchester and the .25...

    What is the most powerful, commonly available, short action cartridge?

    Any of the Winchester Short Magnums fit in a short action znd they are all proper magnum cartridges, equalling their longer cousins. I'm wondering if there is a rifle cartridge that sits between, say the .325 WSM and the very boutique .475 Bishop. I'm just curious as I am not a hunter, if I...

    What is the most powerful, commonly available, short action cartridge?

    I say commonly available as the most powerful short action round full stop 8s the .475 Bishop which throws a 390gr pill @ 2,500 fps. I want to know is what's the most powerful short action that you could find in a reasonably well stocked gun shop? One of the Winchester Short Magnums? 375 Ruger...

    So now with a full carry...

    "Carry anxiety" as you aptly put it is normal when you first start out, I'm sure we all felt that way at one point. However it will quickly fade and eventually you'll stop thinking about it at all. Putting on your carry gun we be just another part of getting dressed, of no more import than...

    A well trained, well disciplined and well equipped populace could be such an asset to a nation.

    Finally addressed the baffling lack of a .22 pistol in my small collection.

    Now that my Mk IV is all sorted and running well I finally invested in some additional mags, 3 more for a total of 5 (one box worth of .22 I figured) some brass follower buttons to hopefully alleviate to godawful gitty feel of the things and 9ne of them fancy clipazine speed loaders.

    Finally addressed the baffling lack of a .22 pistol in my small collection.

    I successfully installed the trigger kit. It was a large pain in the anus. The trigger feels fantastic however, also like not having a magazine safety.

    Observations on current production P226 Elite

    I have the Legion soft case if you want it. And the coin might be in there too. I'll check when I get home. I had a Made in West Germany marked 226 once with the old I dot sights, which I liked, and that was a very nice example of a p226. I liked my Legion too but had to sell it to raise some...

    Observations on current production P226 Elite

    Well, again, I owned a DA/SA Legion and I do regret selling it. The G10 grips were fantastic but I would be putting some nicely checkered wood grips on the Elite so no advantage there. The Legion trigger isn't anything special either. The trigger bow itself is from Grey Guns but the...
