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 am looking for something new also but I think I am going to go with a CZ75 in 9mm. I can always load some hot rounds that will hit a hell of a lot harder. Plus I can find 9mm ammo everywhere even if I have to take off the bad guys after I kill em'. My house is made of concrete blocks so I don't have to worry about shoot throughs, just ricochets. Glasers are definitely the way to go.
You might consider the .357 SIG even though it is an odd caliber it has some hit or maybe the .38 Super another great round. .40 and 10mm are not bad either as they have good hit and excellent second shot recovery. The nice thing about the wheel gun aside from simplicity is the lack of evidence left at the scene of the crime. No brass to hang you with. |
