Re: S&W Model 19

I recently saw a you tube vid with Miculec about the newly redesigned 19. Strengthened, tightened, toughened, and stated its as tough as an L frame.
Search it out, and see what you think.

Re: So...You're Going On A Trophy Hunt At Boar's Nest....

On my first pig hunt I took my heavy loaded 5" 45 RedHawk.
On my second I took a 4" 44 Mag.
Next time maybe I use my G20.

Can you cobble together a zip gun out of 1/4 pipe and a rubberband and nail firing system? Doesn't really have to shoot, just look like it could.
