Re: Paco and the 44mag
An old friend was shot by his Ex at point blank in the chest with his 29, 180gr jhp. He survived with the only lasting effect was a breathing tube due to a botched treachotomy in the er. The doctors were amazed he survived. Now this guy was a BIG man, probably 6'6" and pushing 280 or more. He w...

Sadly that's more the norm with police involved shootings. I believe it is simply the fact that most cops are NOT gun guys and the only shooting they do is to qualify every 6 months.

Re: This was a little different.
So Scott, is it binding up due to tight barrel cylinder gap getting carbon build up?
I suppose a guy could open the gap a couple thousandth (at most) and get more rounds down range or just clean after every 20 or so?

I wonder if the ' case colors' are painted, just looked at their website and the spec sheet says the receiver is aluminum.
(My ipad has krapped the bed, and some sites don't play well with my phone so maybe I can't see where it shows steel?)
From the tiny pics it looks nice though.

Your microwave is a Faraday cage, you can get more stuff in it when the EMP comes.
To test to make sure the microwave isn't leaking put your ( or someone else's)cell phone in, close the door then call from another phone. If it rings your microwave is shot.
