The Tuesday List (Top 10 Greatest Handgun Cartridges of All Time)

Gun Nuts Media ^ | Scoutmaster

Why only cartridge? One might hold out for the most-like combination, frame + cartridge. Examples:

Ruger MKII + .22LR

S&W J-frame + .38 Spl.

Makarov + 9mm

Colt M1911A + .45 ACP

Colt SAA + .45 Colt

Browning Baby Auto + .25

Etc. (Just sayin'; it takes a well-liked combination to make the bullet worth having -- like the Webley and Walter Mitty, for instance)

Cabela’s had 500 rd boxes on line this morning.

What was the price per round? I did mention CHEAP and plentiful.

:^)

“still enjoy my Ruger MK 1 .22 as much as anything.”

So do I. Fits me well.

My SW Mod 66 in 2.5” with cylinder recesses is beyond accurate for me too albeit not so concealable. My dad gave it too me 40 years ago.

Thereby giving the fed’s yet another list of who-owns-what-weapons and where-they-live-under-what-on-line-ID they regularly use.

I like to reminisce because I lost all my firearms in a boating accident.

[Mich Patriot]

Indeed. I’m so glad I bought, oh - let’s just say a little bit, before it disappeared.

[Renegade]

.10 for Norma USA Tac .22lr.

[Samogon]

...Makarov + 9mm

Makarov Pistol is incompatible with 9mm Para, it uses proprietary cartridge of intermediate between 380ACP and 9mm power.

[Scoutmaster]

Point well taken.

Before the accident, my favorite cartridge was .45ACP. And for those who gave advice when I was choosing between a Sig chambered in .357 Sig or .40 S&W, I chose the latter. That too, was before the accident.

Next week's The Tuesday List ranks state foods.

[Rodd OB]

Exactly what my wife owns. And she shoots better than me.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***as a .380 was used to assassinate Franz Ferdinand and kick off World War 1.***

I believe the firearm used was an FN 1910 .32 cal. Another source said it was an FN 1900 .32. I used to have one just like it years ago.

Article on Princip’s pistol.

[dhs12345]

Ya. What is up with that.

Maybe because it is dirt cheap?

[dhs12345]

I have to check! Thanks.

Maybe supply is freeing up.

“xcept Ruger is coming out with the GP 100 in this caliber...it will be a 5 shot revolver and I cant wait to try one...”

I hadn’t heard that, but it is great news. I’d hate to fire full power 44 mags thru it, but a 240 grain bullet going at 1000 fps shouldn’t be too bad.

[dhs12345]

Exactly.

What I love most about it is that I am fairly accurate with it.

[dhs12345]

Yup. Very easy to shoot.

Not certain if it is the balance, trigger pull, etc. but it is a easy gun to shoot accurately.

[Scoutmaster]

I apologize for giving the feds a potential source of ownership information.

Tuesday are an open day on FreeRepublic. I am simply trying to start the Tuesday List, which is intended to feature a weekly interweb "list" on any one of an infinite number of eclectic topics, solely for discussion.

[dhs12345]

I have a Ruger Mk2 with a bull barrel. It is VERY accurate and a very good plinking gun.

[dhs12345]

Oooh. Good point.
