    Dexter Taylor Vs. New York

    I hope that quote is on the record, because that line needs to be printed in size 20 font and highlighted when his lawyers prepare his appeal.

    Rounds of choice for home defense

    Yea, #4 looks to be just about the perfect balance of penetration and decisively ending a fight to me. I wouldn't feel undergunned with #5 turkey loads either. No. 4 buck is what I have stashed for a theoretical home defense shotgun. I say "theoretical" because my home defense long gun is a...

    Picked up my Glock 21 Gen4 today

    Gotcha, makes sense. Does Swampfox even still make the Kingslayer? It's a fantastic little optic. Mine has been idle for a while, but I think I'm going to mount it on a Ruger 22/45 Mk 3 I'm waiting on an amendment for. I wouldn't put it on a serious use gun though. I had it mounted on my .44 mag...

    Picked up my Glock 21 Gen4 today

    Hell yea. Versatility is awesome. A 21 with a 10mm slide is the way to go. Are you gonna cut them for optics or stick to irons?

    Kimber K6S

    Very nice. That's my favorite model of that gun by far. The trigger is fantastic in both DA and SA, the sights are good when you use ammo that they're regulated to, and the grips handle the recoil of full house magnums well.

    Report: Americans Own over 700 Million Ammo Mags with Greater Than 10-Round Capacity

    Rookie numbers. Get standard capacity mag bans overturned in CA and the Northeast and see those numbers skyrocket.

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

    I looked into the WSSM lawsuit stuff. I had no idea. At the end of the day, those never interested me. Too many weird issues with such a fat, short case. As far as the 6.8 Western and .270 WSM, they're both a bit more powerful than the .270 Winchester, unlike the .300 WSM, which is a bit less...

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

    I didn't realize the WSSMs are dead by lawsuit and that the .300 WSSM was always a wildcat. But yea, going by the "commonly available" criteria, I still maintain the .300 WSM. It will be in some gun stores and will be readily available online. The next ones up would be the .338 Federal, 7mm...

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

    I'd say the .300 WSM. You can find more power in the WSSMs or the .325 WSM, but they aren't what I'd call commonly available. The .338 Federal is neither as powerful as the .300 WSM, nor is it as available. Even the .300 WSM isn't something I'd expect to find in most NY or PA gunstore shelves...

    NYPD licensing is getting slower and slower

    Absolutely insane. NYPD's licensing is broken by design.

    Hog hunt, what gun to take?

    If you land on the .300 Blackout, I definitely advise being very selective with ammo and wouldn't trust it on game with long shots using most ammo out there. Definitely supersonic. I've used the 110 gr Vmax and 110 gr Barnes TacTX hunting. I wouldn't recommend the VMax. Too lightly built and...

    Hog hunt, what gun to take?

    To me it depends on how far past 100 yards those shots are. Out to 150 yards max, I'd still go for the .44 Mag, especially if you can move a little to try to move in closer. Beyond that, I'd go for the 7mm, especially if you're going to be glued to one spot. With the .44 Mag, out at 150 yards...

    Russia started mass deportation of migrants after the terrorist attack at Crocusa

    I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. Russia is currently winning a proxy war against an albeit, smaller, nation. The thing is that Ukraine is funded, armed, and supplied by all of NATO. They're getting NATO training, NATO (mostly American) money, American and German tanks and armored...

    Can you shoot 357 magnum out of S&W 350 legend revolver?

    I dunno if I'd call a 4.5 lbs, 7.5" barreled revolver a /companion/ to a rifle. Still looks like a ton of fun.
