Re: Does 357 magnum at carbine velocities produce 1 shot stops?

I'm surprised the guy relating the story is not aware of this. Its first year firearm and hunting knowledge. I'd like to see a news report or even link to the case, its all public record. I did a search but can't find anything on cops breakup a robbery scam with triple shooting, CCW permit confisca...

Re: Does 357 magnum at carbine velocities produce 1 shot stops?

This happened about six or seven years back, mutual friend/coworker called me and told me about it. He said the bullet passed through all three bodies, they all dropped to the ground, and stayed there. Now I dont know what type of factory ammo he had in the revolver, but it passed through all three ...

Re: Does 357 magnum at carbine velocities produce 1 shot stops?

Yes, at point blank range, with factory ammo, bullet probably didnt have time to expand. 357 mag is a deadly round, and if you handload for it, even better. Then fire it from a long barrel, it becomes an entirely different cartridge. General Patton carried a S&W 357 mag revolver during WWII, he ...

Re: Does 357 magnum at carbine velocities produce 1 shot stops?

Shot three guys , so they were laying directly on top one another as well as on top of him?? Yes, not in perfect alignment, but the bullet passed through all of them, hitting different parts of their bodies. Hope im saying that right. I love 357/38 special, but due to where I live, I carry a 44 mag...

Re: Small imprint on Winchester '94

I found a new,unfired 94 last year, so I got it out to check for the proof mark. I couldnt get clear focus on the mark, it is small. Serial # dates it to 1956. https://preview.ibb.co/bspztJ/1956_942.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/kS3sDJ/1956_941.jpg I cant bring myself to shoot it, until I do it is a sa...

Re: This woke us up this morning ...

I left the city back in 2006, when I retired. I was in central ohio and the cartel and other gangs were taking over. Was born and raised in southern WV but settled in south east KY on a 70 acre farm with cabin, one acre pond and 60 plus acres of timber. Best decision I ever made. Their is crime ever...

Re: .357 Carbines

I have rossi 92s in 357 and 44 mag. Ive found them to be perfect when working my way through the thick brush of south east Kentucky, especially the 16" models. https://preview.ibb.co/gOJMAQ/Rossi_cerakote1.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/d7Fwc5/Rossi_cerakote3.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/jqv7jk/Rossi...
