It’s a pinned barrel which means pre 1980 so if it is a model 60 it’s 38 Special only. The Model 60 was not available in 357 mag until the mid 1990’s

They will go to a Federal BOP facility. Gitmo is for military /enemy combatants. Only. BOP can hold both

I remember I Diana didn’t observe DST until around 2006. We were on EST in the winter and CST in the summer If we can’t do away with it I have a proposal. Instead of changing our clocks in the middle of the night and loosing sleep in the spring let’s change it forward at 4 pm on a work day and...

It’s no different than the ammo crunch during Covid. Simple supply and demand. Of course like the ammo skne folks will fear monger. The bigger issue with the Straight of Hormuz is while Iram has not been successful shutting it down Lloyd’s of Lindon is the maritime insurance underwriter for...

Wilson and Chip McCormick aka CMC are probably tops and most available. Anything from Nighthawk, Ed Brown LE Bear erc are also top notch

When I hunted in bear country in Montana or my property here for Indiana white tales I carried a S&W 686 357 with some variety of 158 grain pills Some peolme put way to much thought process anything from 9mm through 44 or 45 don’t you will probably be ok! But if you want an excuse to buy...

While some blame Glock I will say when we shot with revolver grip thwre wasn’t the epic issue of low and left….just saying

People (well those that a a Glock as their first gun) scoff at me but if you use a revolver aka crushed grip hammer bite goes away from most people that don’t have super large hamds on a Hi Power. But thumbs forward are the rage these days!

Well according to Nighthawk 75% of their 1911 orders are for 9mm so while skne of us kine 45’s it’s all about sales. And I wouldn’t call a 124 gold dot at 1,200 FPS exactly wussy LOL

Just discussing ak don’t take this as arguing. I believe the issue with the 9mm in 1911’s was the extractor was hard to tension more yha the length but several companies seem to have cracked the code Also an issue as reported by Larry Vickers and he knows more tjan probably anyone here in...

So Chuck got back to me and all the standard service calibers 9/40/45 have worked well even on Grizzlies Here is a link Chuck provided https://www.americanhunter.org/content/alaska-outfitter-defends-fishermen-from-raging-grizzly-with-9mm-pistol/

A pretty qualified gunsmithing 1911’s (and tevokvers he teaches at Revolverfest and revolver roundup) told me you can convert a 38 Suoer to 9mm in a 1911 but 9 to 38 not so much So that said my question With the 38 super being semi rimmed did you have issue running the stock 9mm ??
