The Python is absolutely the nicer gun but is it worth the extra $500 or so? Would the option for 7 shots sway you over to the S&W? I'm looking to purchase soon.

I fell out of the back of a trailer last night right onto my knee caps and now there are the same color and shape as a plum.

The leftists will burn it all down if they don't get their way. If leftists get their way humanity goes extinct. You all need to get this through your heads. There is no peaceful solution, the left kills all of us or we kill all of them there is no other way.

It would be nice to put my Volquartsenized Mk IV to the test.

I wonder how many people know how to use a map these days?

S&W needs to get off it's ass and make some larger variations of the Shield too. And I want one piece grips, not this magazine extension crap, I hate how wibbly wobbly the 13 and 15 round mags feel in the hand.

So it isn't a dead cartridge yet. Good.

Welcome to the club. Thank God for central air!

I would have assumed the heavier bullets would exhibit the heavier recoil. The Fiocchi .357 Mag 148gr was listed at 1450 fps from a 4" barrel. These Remingtons are listed at a similar velocity but with a 125gr pill which I figure would equate to somewhat less recoil. All things being...

Hurt me MORE! I want to see if these 125gr shoot a little lower than the 148/158gr.

@dsdmmat do yous suppose we will see a return of this?

More food for my 340PD which I actually enjoy shooting............. with .38s. .357s not quite so much.

Have another one: I like S&W's new ultimate carry J frame but I am dubious as the the .32 H&R magnum clambering. Partly due to concerns of its effectiveness as a defensive cartridge but more to its availability, not a very commonly available round these days. This gun in .327 Federal Magnum...

Does loaded mag inserted, empty chamber count as loaded? I keep whatever long guns I have on deck cruiser ready. I only keep handguns on a loaded chamber.

Well you have the new Ruger LC carbine in .45. Not that it's legal in NY.

The flintlock was in use for centuries and itself was only an incremental improvement over the preceeding matchlock. It's successor, the percussion lock was again a small improvement on a basic design that spanned many hundreds of years. Firearms technology plateaus for long periods until a...

I carried one when I lived in Texas, the P239 was great because it carried like a subcompact and shot like a full-size. Now imagine a p239 with a 12 round capacity.

Brought the little monster out today along with my now extremely nice Volquartsenized Ruger Mk IV. I hadn't planned on shooting the 340 much but I ended up enjoying it so much I ran through all 100 rounds that I brought. 148gr Magtec wadcutters. I think those are pretty damn decent groups for...

Am I missing something here? I fail to see how this is a big deal. Manual registration is and has been mandatory, automating the process seems like a logical cost cutting measure. Any concerns regarding the actual activation of the draft is a matter for the ballot box as opposed to worrying...

Ruger/Marlin same thing. A new .357 lever gun from that company is what I'm saying. I'd prefer a pistol grip style though as opposed to the straight stock 1894.

Make NYGF About Guns Again: 1- Modernized version of the P239 adapted to take P365 magazines. Never happen 'cause it'd never sell but I'd love one. 2- a 10mm version of the P227. P227 sales were abysmal so again, never happen 3- A 7 shot Plus plus version of S&W's 586. No idea why this...

This combined with with the recent development on pistol braces is all very nice and fine but it is high time to get to work on the NFA, the Gun Control Act and the Hughs Ammendment. Bump stocks and braces are workarounds to laws that shouldn't exist.

Only solution to what?

This is why I champion the 6mm. A cartridge like I described above would sacrifice terminal performance compared to 7.62x51 or this new 6.8 monstrosity but it would not sacrifice range nor penetration. Such a cartridge would not be quite as controllable as the 5.56x45 either but I think it...

My understanding of this cartridge is that in it's full (ultra high) pressure configuration, the steel based one, is that the energy levels approach that of the .300 Win Mag. In fact it seems almost ballistically identical to the old and defunct .280 Ross cartridge. I fail to see how thus...

It is a stupid cartridge for a stupidly overweight rifle.

It's funny you mentioned that, I just saw a great video on this type of product and I wondered myself if this wouldn't be more useful. Tge only thing about the mag lamp is that even if I don't need magnification I can still blast my work space with light which I find useful. I like a lot of...

Moved to a larger but cheaper apartment and now I am finally able to get a hobby room set up. I'll bolt a vice on there and a clamp on magnifier lamp too

I separated out on a medical so, SEE YA!

Delete thread, wrong section Why can't we delete threads we started?

Who the hell cares about that cow anymore?!

What is the point of keeping stupid fucking liberals alive? I Mean seriously, humanity would be so much happier and more productive if they were all dead. Dumb deluded fucks, they all deserve to die.

Polls don't mean anything anymore, they don't account for ballot harvesting or more outright forms of fuckery. However I have heard an interesting theory that Trump might be making arrangements with the deep state. Biden's disastrous, non-functional administration* has bitten the hand that...

"I don't consent to searches" Then call a lawyer, maybe you get lucky and that lawyer can convince the court the cops didn't have probable cause for the search. Then the relevant evidence gets thrown out along with the charges.

Is this a general purpose vise or is it for a specific use? I am moving soon and am looking to set up a little workshop in the new place and I could use a good vise for basic gunsmithing.

That geriatric fuck is fixing to stoke out any day now. Fuck you turtle bitch.

I got to shoot a buddy's Berretta 1301 yesterday. A magnificent gun, I want one very badly now. It was so light and handy I think it would make a fantastic home defense gun, to me it felt similar in weight to a lightly equipped AR. Bit of a shoulder thumper yet not obnoxiously so. What do we...

The........... "teeth" I guess you could call them, under the gel block are 1" wide.

There will be variances of course but the typical 00 buckshot pellet is .33" diameter, around 53gr in weight moving at around 1,150 fps in a typical 2 3/4oz load. This means a single pellet has about 155ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. This closely compares to a .32ACP. If each pellet in a 9...

I read a short article once warning people that select a 20 guage for defensive use to then not go out and pick the heaviest, nastiest 20ga load they can find whose payload and velocity exceed the typical 12ga load and defeating the purpose of using a 20ga in the first place. I thought it was...

Well, 00 buck when fired at close range absolutely can tear straight through a human but the chance the shot actually continues on to hit something else sensitive, and with enough energy to do meaningfully damage, is probably vanishingly low. In the event of a complete miss tge smaller the shot...

Ah, yes shotgun loads.......... well I know a lot of LE agencies both local and federal favor #1 buck and I've often read that #1 is optimal for defense as it has similar penetration to 00 yet with more pellets. #1 buck loads don't seem to be commonly available though for some reason. #4 bucks...

64gr .223 Gold Dots. I bought 2000 of em back when PSA was selling them for a paltry 40 cents a round. I keep 124gr +P HST in my handuns like the Glock there

........ so the acorn lost this one?

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...
