My wife and I each have one and love them. She is on smallish side (4' 11") and likes that it fits her hand comfortably.

1. The .357 Atomic was just a .357 loaded to higher than standard pressures. 1. Model 92 and Marlin 1894 in .357 will handle the pressure of .357 Maximum easily. 3.

OK, it's official: YOU SUCK. :evil: (Just kidding. :lol: ) But serially, how about that robot landing?? That was pretty dang cool! Even got pictures of it floating down on its parachute.

We have tried establishing guineas on our place twice with no success. My wife wanted then for tick control. What has succeeded is muscovy ducks. They have one advantage over chickens in that they don't scratch. they are easier on the garden. Quite comical to watch and we both get a kick out of them...

Also my whole house is plumbed with copper pipe for water. I think the problem comes from running real acidic liquids through copper. Could be, but any water over a ph of 7 can leach out copper and lead from plumbing, especially when the water sits in the pipes overnight...honest. It's why the newe...

I spent the first 62 years of my life in California and oregon. Black bear were very common in both places. They are not a significant threat to man though they terrorize garbage cans. Now I live in Missouri Ozarks 1-2 miles from Arkansas line. Two years ago we got pictures of bear on a game camera ...

Perhaps the confusion is due to a language problem.
The Brazilians still have not figured out the difference between "compliment" and "complement".

Some people light their smokes with money. Not me, I can't afford it. Credit cards don't cost anything to use as long as you keep them paid off. If someone is willing to give me a 1-2% rebate to use their money I am going to take it. I prefer the cash to points because I can spend cash anywhere I wa...

I still drive a 1970 GMC when I can afford the gas. The Basic truck disappeared for the same reason the 'basic' everything else disappeared. The customers disappeared. Prices are not so far out of line when you consider that the modern vehicles are more fuel efficient, more reliable, more comfortabl...

There are more Indians living now than at any time in history. Of course that depends on how we define Indians. If I added 15 gallons of water to one gallon of gasoline what would I have, diluted gasoline or diluted water. I am officially (1/16) Indian myself. The other 15/16 is assorted European va...

Did they actually admit a mistake or did they blame it on their predecessors? There is a difference.

The trick is how to separate the wheat from the chaff. I doubt that Jesus himself would be able to recognize what is being promoted in his name as 'Christianity'.

Anyone have experience with the Ruger SR9c? What do you think?

BAGTIC

There is data that indicates that .22 LR, .25 ACP, .32 ACP have a higher lethality rate than large 'servce caliber' sidearms. I believe that is because the small caliber hideout guns are not usually used in gunfights. The people using them get up close and personal and take advantage of the element ...

I have both standard and improved versions. The difference in neck length [.023"] is so minor I don't see it causing any problem with cast bullets.

I actually prefer the plastic stocks on a few of my H&R because they are better shaped and fit my hands better.

Exactly what are the flame temperatures of Lil'Gun, H110, and 296? I suspect only the manufacturer knows for sure. Hodgdon says 296 and H110 are both the same, purchased from the same manufacturer, and packaged separately. I don't know who makes Lil'Gun. Whether or not Lil'Gun causes more erosion th...

I have one of the old Marlin 9mm carbines that uses S&W M-59 magazines. It has always been reliable for me and the longer barrel definitely quietens the noise.

Oh. I sincerely doubt the Filipino Moros were using cocaine unless they were distilling it from Coca-Cola.

BAGTIC

not long ago we had a thread refuting this, the small fast bullets deflected less than the large slow bullets.

The small caliber is less apt to hit the obstruction in the first place.

The .223 is very popular around here (southern Missouri Ozarks). In my .222 Remington (sic) I use 19.1 grain IMR4198 and the Sierra 63 grain Semi-spitzer. I your afraid the little bullet may not make it through brush think, neither might the larger caliber. IF THERE IS NOT A CLEAR SHOT THE RESPONSIB...

The high capacity magazine upgrades started almost as soon as the 10-22 was introduced. I suspect they had a great influence on sales for those inclined to load 30-50 rounds just to see how fast they could empty them.

BAGTIC

The load that gives maximum velocity in a carbine will almost always give the maximun load in a handgun. The same heavy charge of "slow" powder that gives maximum velocity in a long barrel will also give the maximum velocity in a short barrel. It has nothing to with burning rate. It is bec...

The plastic doesn't turn me off after all I have four Remington 66. The 10-22 turns me off. I have one I keep for guests who 'don't like plastic guns'. All the 66 outshoot and are more reliable than the 10-22. I have always felt that the reason the 10-22 became so popular was that it was so amenable...

DOUBTFULL. I SUSPECT THAT WHAT THE MAKERS OF THE 45 COLT/410 DUAL CALIBER GUNS ARE DOING IS MAKING THE BARRELS FOR THE .45 AND LETTING THE 410 FIT ITSELF. THINK OF IT AS 'BACKBORING'.

wolves are sport killers and don't care how old or slow the animal is that's why they hunt in packs the odds are on their side.

Missouri does not REQUIRE labeling. It is optional at the dealer's discretion. Here in southern Missouri the top two grades are usually labeled but the lowest (81?) is not. Regardless of that my mechanic tells me that ALL the gasoline sold in this area contains alcohol labeled or not.

I have seen a very old .410 marked .44 & .410 but I have never had a .410 shotgun (and I have had a few) that would chamber a .45 colt. I hate to think what a .45 bullet would do to a full choke .410 barrel. :shock: Allegedly the .410 shotshell evolved from a .44-40 birdshot load using an exten...
