My experience with a .44 mag was that there was little kick, I suppose due to the mass of the gun itself, but it was a pain to hold up after a couple of shots. The thing needs wheels and a lanyard. i haven’t tried the .50.
Yep. And just because he said “the most powerful handgun in the world and can blow your head clean off”, the model 29 with the 6 1/2 inch barrel more than doubled in retail price, nearly overnight.
And, judging from the pics of the deceased, I'm sure no drugs were involved. /s
I am not sure she’s Sicilian. It was a joke, FGS.
In the olden days she would have been exonerated and given a metal.
That gun had longevity, at least in his work. Didn’t he pull that out of a case for his final blast’em scene in “Sudden Impact”, the movie where a rape survivor played by Sandra Locke is out for revenge?
A couple of decades I tried out a 44 mag and a 357 mag and decided on the 357. It was loud enough and kicked enough for me."
You've gotta be kidding me. I'm an average size man with average size hands and shooting a S&W mod29 .44 mag is much easier to shoot than my S&W mod19 .357mag.
As far as home security is concerned, I’ve found the best defense is an aggressive inside dog. An aggressive interior dog always gives you the upper hand.
I grew up in a NE city where everybody kept their dogs indoor. I had a dog all my life inside.
Here in Texas, it’s different, you need outside dogs too.
There is absolutely no way EVER someone could sneak up here without us being completely ready.
In Sudden Impact he used a .44 Automag, a different cartridge based on a cut down .308 to make it rimless to feed in an auto.
Not only that, but Smith did everything they could to make .44 Mags. I’ve seen a Smith .44 Mag from that year marked Mod. 57 in the frame (.41 Mag). They grabbed every N Frame part they had.
play stupid (selfish) games.....wind up dead sometimes.
Depends on who is doing the shooting.
Gambino, any relation to Carlo and “The Family”?
Butta bing
Butta bang- bang-bang-——
Was it made of medal?
This used to be called “a crime of passion” killing your spouse in the act of adultery.
Since there was another man in the bed, I’m guessing this is classified as a hate crime.
That REALLY hard to do if he’s in the stage of climaxing his sexual act???
Women don’t care as long as it sparkles and shines.
They used the 'N' frame for the 27, 28, 29, 52, 57 and 58. The frames already had the serial numbers stamped and when they assembled the gun, would stamp the model number.
But innovative fellows could come up with all types of conversions. I've even seen the 28 converted to 44 mag.
Bump for later.
