Anybody shoot one of these yet?
The barrel is in line with the bottom of the cylinder I believe or the middle. Either way it should reduce recoil a bit.
I’ve never shot a revolver, at least for as long as I can remember and I want one. It’s either this or a more conventional design.
[Edit: Finally had a chance to read this thread. I saw they came up earlier. Question stands]
I wish california was not so lame with its gun laws… As I am also hoping that the entire US doesn’t turn to a whole nationwide or extremely limited and inaccessible access… Was looking into the 357, Sig Suer p226, I wish I could get an AR platform but thats next to impossible and illegal out here.
Government is insane.

I think you can get an AR in Cali. They just have mag size restrictions and you need a recessed mag release that makes it hard to change mags and you have to use a bullet or something to push it in. I bet you can find one on the internet now as nobody else wants a Cali gun.
I picked this up today. It’s a bit front heavy and I need to find a heavier stock and grip. Otherwise, it’s my new bench gun. The guy said it was a shooter but we’ll find out.
If anybody was interested in the sig p938s, I would say choose wisely. I had problems every mag w/ 115 gr ammo. I found some heavier stuff I’m going to give a shot. But the damage has been done and I don’t trust it at all now.
Well played sir lol.
For those that don’t know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an Australian.
General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. Read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children.
Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you have to love this!
This is one of the best comeback lines of all time.
This is a portion of an ABC radio interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military Headquarters.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
We’re going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don’t see why, they’ll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don’t you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don’t see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you’re equipping them to become violent killers.
GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma’am, you’re equipped to be a prostitute, but you’re not one, are you?
The broadcast went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, the interview was over.
I approve of said interview

I know we The OP specified no cannons etc., but I just couldn’t resist. A gentleman we had worked for for many years recently passed away and very unexpectedly bequeathed to my employer an original 6 pounder carronade cannon made in Falkirk Scotland in the late 1700’s. This was primarily a shipboard gun popular with privateers and generally employed for short range broadsides. The relatively low muzzle velocity of the ball caused fewr but larger and more lethal splinters as it crashed through hulls, decks etc. Hence it was nicknamed “the Smaher”, which is pretty badass IMO. It was later replaced by rifled artillery which allowed for much greater range and changed the face of naval warfare.
It is basically identical to the gun in the video, although it will need some TLC to get it into that condition. Not super practical for home defence, but it does nave a certain “get off my lawn” quality when displayed at the front door. Thought people might get a kick out of this, we certainly did.
^ That is fucking awesome man, I’d love to have a cannon. Should be a really fun project to restore it as well.
please, if you’re a gun owner you MUST beling to NRA and GOA. And feel free to use the Fuck You pic above - I find it very useful.
For anyone who likes glocks it may be worth it to sign up with the Glock shooting Sports Foundation , for $35 you get a pretty good discount on Glocks from Glock dealers once per calender year after your first year of membership.

That’s purty…
I was given the opportunity to shoot a .357 sig today in a Sig p229 I think it was. Interesting round to shoot. My go to gun is a .40sw. I should have something more to say on the subject, but I don’t. It was like shooting a snappier .40 and I still don’t like the huge full size sig firearms or their dumbass trigger mechanisms. I might change my opinion if I had to take one into a full blown war, but I doubt it.
I also met a guy who was Ned Flanders in Homer Simpson’s body with an affinity for CCW firearms and gun safety. Jesus and firearms is an interesting mix and probably distinctly American.

Which brings me to a question, is there a good website to buy ammo on-line?[/quote]
Try gunbot.net. Everything is expensive now adays, which I think is ending shortly as I’ve seen more retailers but stuff out there at fair prices. That site just searches a long list of retailers to show what they have in stock and the prices. If you’re patient, you can find ammo on there at pre-shortage prices.
Thanks for making me insanely jealous, it further ramps up my distant over my crappy government and laws.
I have used Georgia-arms for 9mm and 5.56 in the past. Good training ammo. I would also say to check Grace Ammo been pretty happy with their stuff. There is also Brownells and Sportsmanship Guide. I have not used either but I have coworkers that swear by them. Anyway you choose you will probably have a bit of a wait. You could also try Cheaper than dirt but I think you have to call for pricing.
Enjoy the Ruger I have had the same one for many years. The cylinder was too tight and had to send it back to Ruger. They made it right and sent it back. Since then it has worked well.
