Phil Shoemaker took out a bear a few years ago with his 3rd Gen S&W 9mm. But Phil is the exception to the rule …. A very accomplished and experienced bear hunter to begin wih, and even in the after incident interviews he admitted that a 9mm for bear defense was marginal at best and there are...

All this talk about terminal performance is really just ballistic masturbation. Things get interesting when you get to the 12 guage size, and then I tend to check back in on the comments of the peanut gallery.

Dead? Hardley. Obsolete? Not a chance. Less popular, yes, but the 40 for all it’s positive attributes only suffers from one drawback….many think it is a solution in search of a problem. I’m not giving up my 9mms or 45s. I’ve embraced the 40 round. It’s like the 41 Magnum of the...

I think that in the last 20 years or so it was the development of newer bullet designs that led to developing new cartridges. Hornady seems to be the industry leader - developing bullet designs and then cartridges around that bullet. Think Amax, then ELD-X , etc. First came the Creedmoor...

Is it the Indian, or the arrow?

Right down the road from me. Cool tour, along with the USS Drum and the air museum. Thanks for sharing.

Same here, but add a bandana/handkerchief (thanks to Covid)

Its also nice to see bullets finally being improved. More choices are always welcome. If I were just getting into the “game” I’d look hard at this one. My existing 25-06 does all I could ever ask of a quarter bore and then some.

I have a 26.3. If’n it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Yep. I have some no-name aftermarket 9mm barrel for my G22.3. Best of both worlds.

Some gal with the last name of Force recently clocked 343mph in a top fuel V8 too …. I like cubic inches.

The saying, “there is no substitute for cubic inches,” comes to mind. Pass me the 45, please.

Not a Gen 5 (or a light) guy as I believe perfection was achieved at the Gen 3, but the 23 is about as good a CCW package as can be had. You did really good. I’m on the lookout for some deals on Glocks now that they have streamlined their product line.

Something like this is why I always give dirty looks when someone says "how paranoid do you have to be to carry a firearm with you just to go to the grocery store?" The "Tops" shooting in Buffalo is one example. This looks to be another one. My guess - and just FWIW - mental issues, and...

You don’t often see the blued ones. Very nice.

I wish I could find a M 12! I’ve seen a few 15s over the years and missed a really nice one before the China-flu pandemic hit. I was at a gun show and decided - like a fool - to walk the rest of the show first before making any offer and haggling to purchase that 15. Someone else snagged it...

Yes. Children are an investment, grandchildren are the dividend.

I like a double action 44, but to be honest - the single action, to me, really shines when you step up into the 45 Colt and beyond.

The China-flu gave me reason enough to avoid people and especially crowds.

Meh. If a 1911 is analogous to a lawnmower then my polymer pistols are analogous to a shovel. Different purposes and different handling regimens.
