Well, I am no hunter, but I’d think you’d want a .44 or .500 mag for a back up in big game situations, wouldn’t you? 10 mm is a fine round, but it’s about equivalent to a .40. I guess it depends on whether you prefer fire power or quantity. I’d think I’d want something that puts it down with a single round. Or you can carry both and keep shooting.
I have heard the stories on using the smaller, lower powered calibers on a bear only to have the bear more pissed off. [/quote]

I live in OH, not Alaska or Montana, so I’m thinking deer and not mad grizzly bears or charging moose. My backup gun would probably be a 22 in case a squirrel thinks I got too close to his nuts.

They just put out new regulations for hunting with straight walled cartridges and its legal now to take deer with 38 special or 45 acp out of a carbine or lever gun.

Either way, I share the opinion that revolvers belong in museums, are hard to shoot, especially in a self-defense situations, and with the availability of 10mm glocks, I don’t need to go wheel gun route for a legitimate handgun for deer. Still, it might be fun to have one.

Oh hell no! I love revolvers. Ironically I own mostly automatics, but I would only give my .357 up for another revolver. If I don’t get a rifle next, it will be a revolver. I want a 44 mag, but I have run across some .357 packages that are hard to resist. I don’t know. I am good on guns at the moment, but when I get some spare cash and am ready for my next purchase it’s going to be a wheel gun all the way.
I love my semi-autos and my favorite is definitely my 1911, but the revolver has a special place in my heart. Of all my guns I keep it the most perfect. It’s like a shiny little jewel. I love to buff it and clean every nook and cranny.
It’s also a great dry-fire practice gun. You can dry fire it as much as you like with out fear of damage. I carry my 357 as much as I carry the 9. It depends on my mood.
I don’t know, when you fire a well made revolver, there’s something special about it.[/quote]

[EDIT] One more advantage to revolvers, other than their inherent accuracy and easy maintenance, is cartridges don’t fly. If your in a situation where you don’t want to leave your brass behind, revolvers do that better. Plus all your big bore hot loads are revolvers. For instance, I know Desert Eagle makes a 50 cal auto, but it’ not even close to the .500 magnum in power.

I’ve been debating if I want something like that for hunting or just going with an auto 10mm. I think I could get a better scope on the revolver, especially if it has one of the long barrels, and actually be able to take some gun at a bit of a distance.[/quote]

I was helping a buddy mount a red dot on a 44mag for hunting. He was damn sure he right. I was a little skeptical.

First shot the scope does a backflip off the rib and flies about 10 feet! lol[/quote]

Does the .44 have a mounting rail? It shouldn’t have come off unless it was rigged on there somehow. What kind of .44 was it?

Just wondering because the guns with a rail and a scope made for the rail should not come off at all, even if you hit it with a hammer. I am thinking the scope must not have matched the gun. Or it was really loose.

The scope was definitely not matched for the gun. It was a POS.

Yeah, that makes sense. It probably wouldn’t have been accurate either then. Guns are fickle. If the parts aren’t exactly perfect, then it won’t work right.

Talking about scopes on a hunting handgun; I put a 4x on my 44 mag Ruger Blackhawk. Holy Shit! It was a bitch trying to pick something out in it. It’s a whole different ballgame and had I known, I would have gone with a 2x. Truthfully, my hunting style lends itself to having some time to take the shot off a rest.

I have been known to throughly clean my casings and then load the mags wearing gloves. Dont wear latex cause your prints can still end up on the brass. Never eject a round with your prints on them… ever :slight_smile:

Yeah, I figure that’s what going to get Aaron Hernandez in the end. I don’t think they need the murder weapon. Once you fire the round, your finger prints are burned into the casings. If they have the casings with his fingerprints, that should be all they need.
After the case broke, I took a few casings home to look after some range time and my fingerprints were burned into the casings, clear as day. If he loaded that mag, then his finger prints are burned into the casings as well. I don’t reckon he was smart enough to load with gloves, he wasn’t smart enough to pick up the casings.

I’ve seen some guys use 3 rings to mount scopes on bigger bore handguns due to recoil, but I don’t think it’s necessary if you get high quality rings and torque them down to spec.

I own the following:

Ruger 10/22 stainless barreled version, Remington 870 pump action 20-guage shotgun, Remington 1170 12-guage semi-auto shotgun, Savage .22 long-rifle (semi-automatic), Ruger mini-14 .223 cal. ranch rifle, Winchester .223 cal rifle and a Mossberg 500 .410 bore shotgun.

Sadly, I don’t hunt or target shoot near as much as I used to, so they mostly sit and keep me company.

theuofh,

You have a lot of time on your hands. lol!

Well they tried to take our guns and when that didn’t work, they tried to go after our ammunition and that didn’t work. I guess this would be the next logical move by going directly to the manufacture. I think the fly in their ointment is the free economy we have. If our Federal Government doesnâ??t invest in an American company, another government will. When China sees a way to make a Renminbi off this, they will be here. How good will you feel in a time of war knowing our boots on the ground are starved for guns and ammo because the government we are fighting owns the firearms company?

Maybe I am missing something but could that be the case?

675

I would love a bank to start and tell the FDIC to go fuck itself, if they pulled this shit. I would bank there in a heartbeat. I would also contribute to backing gun/ ammo manufacturers monetarily.

676

The Chinese have been buying up US property and businesses like hotcakes. That whole Nevada stand off thing involved I think a Chinese solar power company. Detroit is actively trying to recruit Chinese people to move there. It’s still hard for the little people to get Visas, but its easier if they are part of a multinational who has business connections with friends of politicians/politicians. This all started a long time ago.

The banks will do exactly what the Government wants, at least if they still want government bailouts and the taxpayers to subsidize their risks.

Either way, I see the point of trying to stop fradulent transactions and theft, but sooner or later it will be used to political ends and not to mention it hurts small businesses very badly who are dependent on these payment processing methods. It isn’t just guns and ammo, but porno and other less openly socially acceptable transactions like pharmaceuticals from canada, online tobacco or headshops, and other small niche markets which may have individuals not really focused on having a BBB 100% rating.

It’s pretty unfair to lump legitimate small businesses with happy customers in with the more unscrupulous IMO.

There’s a quote by Sigmond Freud that I’ve seen many times on the internet

“A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.”

I’m suspicious of all things found on the internet, but I believe that it is absolutely true regardless of where it comes from. Why the left is so obsessed with guns is beyond me, but I hope that if they do go after the banks as a way to cripple gun related businesses that
Congress and he NRA comes to their defense.

My latest acquisition: sold my .308 Vepr, a Swiss K31 and an anvil to get it.

No offense yall, while I agree with all of your points, the ‘Gun Control’ thread is open in PWI. I want this one to be dedicated to the guns and the joy they bring, not the politics of gun grabbers. I want to celebrate the guns. We can bitch about the government in PWI.
