So apparently the "standard" load for both of these was 28 grains of "pistol powder" under a 450-grain hollow-base bullet... in some pinfire loads the charge was even smaller. So, just out of sheer curiosity... What kind of velocities do you think these would have? I've read one source...

Found this online :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCtD3OJ-_Es and of course you've all seen this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TC2xTCb_GU Are there any more decent songs?

I'm having a debate with some people on a hunting forum. I was shocked when people there started saying that there was no reason to own handguns, and that they were scared by the fact someone would even want to own one. These are people who enjoy shooting and hunting, and I did not expect...

I recently went to a SASS match, and was quite surprised when I tried out a competitor's SAA. Most of them were using .38 Specials! And the loads had no, repeat, no, recoil whatsoever. I thought there was an IPSC-like Power Factor? What's the point of shooting with pop-gun loads? Was this...

I don't know what else to call it. I would like to remove the little line seperating my signature from my posts, so that all my posts are ended with Right now my sig is seperated, and I don't like having to type in something each time.

Check this out: What do you think of these figures? .357 Mag, S&W 686 4-in, 40 oz, 125 gr 1440 ft/s, 20 gr powder, gas velocity 3000 ft/s Recoil: 7.3 ft-lbs, 13.7 ft/s .45 ACP, S&W 625 4-in, 43 oz, 230 gr 820 ft/s, 6 gr powder, gas velocity 1500 ft/s Recoil: 4.6 ft-lbs, 10.5 ft/s...

I see Taurus is offering a very short barrel 44 Magnum. Does anyone have any chronographed velocities for the 44 in a barrel this short? I checked Ballistics by the inch to no avail. Thanks, Paws up. (''') (''')

I don't like the way the gun culture has evolved. When I read old gun magazines or books, there's no mention of self-defense. They focus on hunting and target shooting. The general attitude is much more positive, and less fearful than today's gun rags. The firearms books and magazines of today...

First off I do not carry. But I don't see the advantage of open carry over concealed. Deterring criminals? Yes, it may. It may also alert them so they go and commit their crime around the block where no one is carrying. Or they may attack you while you are unawares. You lose the great...

I want to put a photograph of somebody on or in some new grips for my 1911. Ideally, I would want the photo PRINTED on the grips, like how some companies will put your photos on a coffee mug. But is there any way that I can make a grip with a clear layer and the photos sandwiched in between...

I've been bothered by the gas velocity numbers for some time now. Using a fixed 4000 or 4700 fps seems to put the powder velocities of high and low pressure smokeless rounds in the same basket, and produces numbers which I think may be unrealistic. Using 1.5, 1.75, 1.25 times the muzzle...

How come I can find little to no information on this gun and only one or two pictures? I was chambered in .375 H&H which is what made it catch my eye. It weighed 5 pounds and had a 14 inch barrel. Anybody seen one?

I recently had a loss of interest in firearms and shooting, spanning several months. That period is over now, but it was the first time where I wasn't avidly interested. Has anybody else experienced this before, and what caused it, and how did you get your interest in guns back? It was Very...

1. What do you think of this knife? 2. What is the best model of the JDII? 3. What other options in the same price range and blade size?

So this thing has a 4-in barrel and shoots the .445. I can't find info on the ballistics from a 4-in barrel. Out of the shorter barrel, with less room to burn the powder, how does the Supermag compare to the standard .44?

I can't get any straight-up info. Is it legal for me to drive around with an unloaded shotgun (moss 500) in open view in my car, with ammo nearby (in my pockets) as long as I lock up the gun when I leave the car? THe law says yes, but people have been arrested before. THe RCMP frankly do not...

A lot of the stuff the NRA and other pro-gun rights groups put out is propaganda. There are a lot of unsupported "facts" and there are arguments which do not employ sound logic. In many respects, the pro-gun rhetoric is almost as bad as the stuff the Bradys put out there. There is also an...

Please explain the operation of these knives to me. I want to know if they are legal in Canada. I have seen them for sale, but that does not mean they are not prohibited weapons here. Here's the law: As I've said, the Border Services Agency will let these knives through the border, even...

I want to buy a new knife. I am currently carrying a Puma 270 folder, or a Fairbairn-Sykes knife or a kukri. I want something to replace or compliment the Puma. I want a defence-oriented knife that has at least a 3.5 in blade. I don't know about locking mechanisms, but it has to be about a...
