i figure if someone could talk about getting a tube up his arse(sorry JP, hope the tests are neg.), then guns should be as safe a topic for discussion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
looking to purchase a 357 mag. i want something for home protection (i've pissed off a few people in my lifetime) as well something to plink around with, and i can carry it as a sidearm when hunting birds in the mountains (lions and bears, OH MY). i was thinking this was also a suitable caliber that it wouldn't knock my wife on her ass when she shoots it, but offers suitable stopping power against local wildlife (and lions and bears as well). plus i've heard some people can even hunt with this caliber, matched with the right load. any opinions ??????? I think i've narrowed it down to the ruger gp-100 and the S&W 686. thanks in advance......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) just read the carjack thread.... one more reason.

I have had a 586 S&W for 15+ years it's the best revolver I've ever owned, I'd pass the "other one" also when you're serious load .357 soft hollow points... who gives a shit where they go as long as they take the bulk of your target with them. But, if it's a midnite fire fight in your house, forget the pistol, a 12 gauge pump with a short barrel is the answer, accuracy is not a limiting factor with a street sweeper.
