Then there’s the guy who built an AK-47 receiver from a shovel . . .
The only way you’ll shoot a man in the ear is if you sneak up behind him.
Or hidden in a bush with a rifle.
And that’s not defense.
You heard wrong...from someone who doesn’t know.
I also have a SIG 229 in 40. The nice thing is a quick barrel change and the P-229 will accommodate the SIG 357.
Cool.
I really like that little cannon.
“It’d take a whole lot of silk to stop a 9mm. Denim and leather however has been found by FBI studies to stop 9mm bullets or at least reduce the velocity enough that lethal penetration is impossible. A good thick winter coat is almost a bullet proof jacket against a low end 9mm.”
And here is more: https://www.m4carbine.net/archive/index.php/t-129949.html
I’ve also heard that some windshields will deflect a 9mm round. This sort of thing is why I almost didn’t go 9mm. Almost. :)
I saw 10mm on the shelf today at Cabela’s and one 1000 round box of 55 grain .223. I agree, .40 isn’t going anywhere.
I've got a satellite dish support tube out in the garage, that I figure will make a dandy AR lower (probably a lot less work than using a shovel ;^)...
I'd be sad if 32 ACP goes away entirely. I have an heirloom Colt chambered in that.
I suspect the writer included 40 S&W just for controversy and to get his story more notice.
I said nothing about blood.
I know it is not considered a man killer, but placed right it will.
I think it’s one of those things that is possible, but highly unlikely.
357 Sig is an orphan cartridge. Not many people want it or ask for it.
Now, That is a cowboy engineering project. Smile.
AK’s are know for reliability, not beauty.
Nothing but conjecture at those links.
From somebody who “heard it” too.
Rationally analyze the physics:
124gr, .355 bullet traveling at 1200fps.
Of course, an eye shot will smoke a bastard. Not advocating that.
I am just glad to see the .45 Colt is not on that list. I have no clue how Cowboy Action Shooting has survived the Covid shutdowns. Are they still active or is everybody hunkered down at the Saloon and still waiting?
It is actually true.
It just needs to be about 20 feet thick, of layered clothing.
The .41 Magnum, like the 16 gauge, will always be a niche/cult thing.
Another one is that 25 ACP. Nearly all of the 22,000 Polish officers murdered by the Soviets were shot once with a Walther model 8 in .25 ACP. The main executioner used several of these Walthers so it could be blamed on Germans and because he liked them.
Most of us are not fans of the caliber, but this comment is stupid. Typical of a guy with an undersized package.
