Re: chiappa handguns
If it's as reliable as their 22 M1 and 9mm M1 carbines it might make a exactable weight for fishing, that is if pieces don't fall off it.

You may have to look for some 158gr, lead hollow points if you want penetration as well. Someone must still carry these.

It's real sad times in this country when you can't run to the local gun store and buy a can of black powder. It's about a 3 hour drive to the closest dealer to me, and their only open from 1pm-5pm. I bought in bulk years ago but going to run low one of these day's.

The .38spl. when fired from a carbine will give you 38 plus P if not light .357 velocity, a carbine at any range is usually much easier to put good hits on target, and so many (n...

Great site if you were looking for information or something to do, NOT such a great site if you were on a budget or trying to save money for house type projects. Viewing fine guns can lead to less room in the safe and financial difficulties, not to mention feuds with the other half.
