Re: The Ultimate Pocket Shooter?? 9oz Loaded
Jim, I respect you and look up to you as you know. I've only been in one bar fight, but it was a pretty ugly one for me, but not terribly bad as they go as I was not hurt. The data on who survives being shot is mixed. Some die just at the mention of being shot. Others you can fill full of holes and ...

Re: The Ultimate Pocket Shooter?? 9oz Loaded
There are some nice 22 Mag NAA mini-guns for sale even here in Commiefornia but I have my doubts that a 22 mag at snubbie velocities could "stop the threat" fast enough, especially with a body shot. Yes, it will kill, but will just take too long I think. -Tutt P.S. The NAA I handled had an...
