Not interested, the 45ACP is my favorite home defense round, reason being a 230gr. bullet at 850fps. is a damn good manstopper that won't blow out my eardrums or blind me with muzzle flash. Love the .40Super (10mm for you sillymeter guys) great gun for the woods but I certainly wouldn't want to shoot one inside my home.
My actual nomenclature for the 10mm is the " 40 Super Duper" but I shortened it because I don't like typing that much.
To me it's not a question of "lacks" it's a question of comforts. I carried a M1911A1 for years, I just didn't care for it. I've fired a <45 by 3 diff. Manufacturers. I.m Just not comfortable with them. My favorite weapon is my old Gen 1Compensated Glock 24 40 S&W which is what I carry. I also like my Gen 4 Model 20 10mm. Depending on what I need is what I use. I've never SEEN a Bear when carrying ANY weapon. But I have had to drop an old cow Moose with the 10mm. If I did face a bear I would prefer an M198 in 155mm but they're too hard to carry.
Good choice but holsters are hard to come by and spare magazines are really heavy.
From a fellow reloader, right on , right on, before the light bulb lite up and arriving àt a simple solution, I purchased an EL CHEAPO Metal Detector, using it never lost a single cartridge case. Light bulb lite up??? Easy peasy better solution?? Bought a cheap LARGE TARP, assembled a framework to hold full width of tarp upright 10' high 20' long, now I can fire 100'S of rounds, all mt's Easley picked up plus brass stays clean, downside, if windy framework has to be tied down, if tiedowns are made ahead of time, takes about 5 minutes to set up.
Excellent choice.
About that boot stomping on a human face, alias a gun owner, will be covering the foot of the top dog in the White House or Congress, do we need to guess which party, the mere thought sends MAJOR TSUNAMIS up and down my spine!!!!!! Like -600 degrees below zero!!!!!
Could not be said any better, I learned two very valuable life-saving lessons, after I lost my behind for three days, I was still a freshman in high school so each journey into a roadless area was a profound and enjoyable experience, that is until my know-it-all thinking lost myself. Lesson #1- water always runs downhill, #2- EVERY 50' feet turn around and look at everything closely so you remember the layout on your return. Eating Huckleberries for 3 days is a lesson PROFOUND!!!!
What is very often left unsaid, when casting lead bullets use VERY GOOD CROSS VENTILATION, set up so all TOXIC FUMES ( lead when melting produces TOXIC fUMES ) is vented outside of the building.
I was referring not to the 10mm ( I have 4 two M610' S, two M1911'S, I have DEEP respect for all four ) I was referring to the passage below your post, what you posted I would be the very last to disagree, if EVER!!!
You should be ashamed of yourself posting such heart stopping exquisitely drooling beautiful handguns. I truly believe you should be VERY proud of what you have, I hope the BATFE never gets their greedy corrupt hands on them, because you will watch them being thrown into a blast furnace, like they did to my Colt Combat Elite full house $6,000 redo in COLTS Custom Shop. I had the work done shortly after the CC Elite was on the market, that 1911 would probably be worth around $20,000 now????
Question---??? Do all you Hi-Cap lover's plan on shooting like Hollywood, 10,000 rounds fired and all misses. It's a jokes, folk's. If they hit the target the show would last 5 minutes?????I think it is difficult to come to a consensus because we live in such vastly different places and everyone has different needs. I have lived and hunted in North Texas my entire life. I have never seen a bear so I don't bother packing for one. I do love revolvers (if you don't like 45 Colt you're weird
All you posters are going to make me die from dehydration from posting such beautiful handguns, those photos make me drool. But please don't stop.I don't have a 10mm pistol, so I have to walk around in the woods underarmed with this peashooter.
Truer words were never spoken ( pucker factor ) , on one of my sojourns while working in Alaska I àccompenied a guide and his client so as to pack in and out equipment used in a $$$15,000 Brown Bear hunt, spotted a LARGE BOAR, moved downwind of him, wind blowing hard making lots of noise, got within ten yards, bear stood up facing into wind, guide whispered to client to shoot, that bear looked as big as an elephant, no shot occured, the client was about 25 yards awày and running like hell. The two of us just about died laughing, The bear dropped down onto his front legs and feet and took off like a bat out of hell into the wind, after what, who knows???
Be proud, you have two beautiful handguns, oh, by the way, Ruger now has a custom shop, but will only work on Ruger firearms. Have heard nothing but excellent work done in house.
This is why I don't drink.
