Re: Who fiddles with a .32 ACP these days?
Nice shooter! Looks like a ray gun, stylish and modern looking. I tested some 32ACP ball ammo a while back on some hard mesquite, my preferred tree. This mesquite was 3 in across and flat on top, I was trying to "skip" that 32 off the top at a very shallow angle. The 32 penetrated every sh...

Re: Who fiddles with a .32 ACP these days?
Used to have an itch for military pistols, still have a few. One is a CZ model 27, in 32 ACP with a Nazi mark. Got it for 100 at a gun show, a refin, fun to shoot, not real accurate, doesn't feed real good. Have 2 nice bringback baretta model 34s in 380, much better guns. Would love an 03 Colt in 380.

Re: 300 yard rocks with .44 Special sixgun
My Dad did not believe in handguns for hunting. When I started showing up to deer hunts with my 44 mag Ruger hunter, he would roll his eyes like I was crazy. While he was a real fine shot with a pistol, he believed in rifles and shotguns for killing.
