Many a tasty rooster have lived to fly another day for lack of follow through.
I once wrote a letter to the editor of The Record (newspaper) in New Jersey, in which I chastised them for including the term 40mm Glock in a news story. So the next time I saw an article by the reporter in question, it involved a 40mm handgun.
If they repackaged their product as humor instead of news, their sales might stop sinking.
I don’t understand the attraction of those things.
The BoxO’Truth is one of the essential firearms sites. I asked the owner if heavier shot would make any difference would make any difference when used against a human attacker. I was refering to turkey loads with two ounces of #2 shot. He had tried those, too, and replied with the standard, ‘little shot is for little birds.’ :)

Inernal and external ballistics are good subjects, each worthy of a long thread.
On the subject of inherent accuracy, 6mm bullets seem to have the best potential. I learned this from benchrest shooters who went to tremendous efforts to assemble 6mm PPC cartridges that would shoot five shoot groups .001” tighter than the next guy. I’ve never heard an explanation for it, but I have noticed that 6mm rifles tend to be extremely accurate The bullet diameter is the common factor.
They’re doing remarkable things with .308s, but I think the 6mm will remain the best, perhaps only because extended range sessions are a little easier on the shoulder with the 6mm guns.
Someone saw one in a movie once.
Birdshot out of a three inch barrel. Yeah, right. Just remember, the druggist who shot the robber with a Judge upgraded to a .380 for rest of the shots.
If you want the Taurus for shooting the slithering variety, it’s okay. I’ve tested so-called snake shot rounds and found them useful only if the snake is within striking distance. I don’t know of a firearm that would work well on both two legged and no legged snakes.
Using a walking stick when you’re hiking and a shovel when you’re in your garden. Save the gun for the two legged pests.
"I jammed the roscoe in his button and said, 'Close your yap, bo, or I squirt metal.'"
I want to know why the .44 Magnum is actually a .43.
The .44 magnum is the final descendant of the moribund .44 American. The .44 American was .44” being a heel based bullet like the .22 Long Rifle. When S&W got a substantial contract to produce breaktop revolvers for the Russians in the late 1800’s, the Russians stipulated that the bullet should be more enclosed by the case, which reduced bullet size to .429” and became the .44 Russian cartridge. This was later lengthened and called the .44 Special around the turn of the century. The .44 Mag, introduced in 1955, is the Special once again lengthened and hot-rodded.
Smoke’em if ya got ‘em.
Some are better than others . For wing or clays, I prefer Move, Mount, Shoot That is one way; there are at least four other ways.
Those rules are obsolete and unsafe.

This is the fourth time you mentioned the NRA rules are better than Cooper’s without any study produced to verify that.

Slim, where does the .44-40 fit into there. Its my understanding that it was the fore-runner of the .44 special...which is one of my personal favorite pistola rounds.
Cha, but I quit! :-D

For someone who claims that they schmooze with the high muckity mucks in the NRA, You seem be incredibly ignorant of the classical role and mission of the NRA. Clearly you have never availed yourself of the opportunity of being trained You seem to be the type of person who is untrainable. I hope your ignorance is not responsible for dangerous incidents on the part of others. You seem to be unable to follow simple instructions in order to obtain the study. Again I will repeat please call 1-800-672-3888 and ask for the Training Dept. Since this study was done twenty-fove years ago, there is no online link. This is the fourth time that I have directed you to the NRA for the NRA study.
you seem to be so incredibly ignorant about the NRA gun safety rules and their origins.
by the NRA to safely handle firearms.
