Of the 10mms, I like the Peter Stahl the best. Longer barrel helps tame recoil and it is accurate to a fault. That said, it is definitely NOT my first choice as a hunting arm. I've got a total of five 10mm semi-auto handguns. The semis are the closest things to a .41Magnum there is in a carrying...

I've got a Glock 38 and like the compact sice immensley. It's grip s smaller than even the 21SF, 30SF, and 36. Ballistics are matching .45ACP with no problem. As far as ammo goes, I've got a conversion for my Dillon RL650 and can pump a thousand rounds out in no time. Sounds to me that all the...

Outrageous! Who are these corrupt mexican elitist politicians to tell us what to do in our own country? They can kiss my rosey-red booner! I know a BP agent that thinks a million mines per mile would help alot. I mean, the third world countries of the world sure try to throw their weight...

Favorite hunting handgun? That, without a doubt, would be my Ruger OM Blackhawk in .41Magnum. I've carried it in the outdoors since the '60s and killed everything from rats to elk and elk-sized + animals. For grizz however, I'd move to one of my .475Linebaughs. The .41Magnum is fun to shoot...

Why the 10mm? Well, because it's the closest thing to the .41Magnum I can shoot in a reasonable-sized semi-auto handgun. My DE is NOT a reasonably-sized semi. I don't bother with 10mm revolvers 'cause I've got a lot of .41Magnums and it would be a major step down in power. I've got a Glock 20...

You made out like a bandit! The asking price on M58s is pretty much regional. I paid $350 for a blued shooter. I've seen them go from $350 to $800 for basically the same NIB blued M58. I wish I'd paid what you did for my nickled M58(NIB). You might also check www.smith-wessonforum.com also.

SD load for .41Magnum When I carry a .41Magnum for defense I generally carry Winchester Silvertips. However, Corbon and Buffalo Bore's 170gr.JHC load is a good anti-personnel round also. I've been shooting Speer's new 210gr.Gold Dot lately and it seems like it would be good for the job, too...

Favorites I've got a few. M12 Winchester 16g. that was my Grandfather's. Ruger OM Blackhawk .41Magnum that's been with me from the '60s and saved my hide on more than one occasion. Ruger No. 1 in .338Winchester NRA Gun of the Year a long-time hunting partner gave to me before he died...

Pheasants Yea, we get there every year. Two uncles with dairy farms and a bunch of other farmer friends give us a standing invite. We host them for mule deer and elk in Montana on certain ranches. Works out pretty good. We also give them all a hand with chores while we're there. My old man and...

Sidearm with long gun? Uhhh...NOPE! My handgun has been my soul hunting arm for years. It's to hand even when mother nature calls. Hey DS, someone told me they were having a mountain lion hunt in the Black Hills this year. 'Fore long there's going to be wolves, too. ;)

Favorites Handguns: .22LR .45ACP .475Linebaugh .41Magnum The .41Magnum is my absolute favorite handgun cartridge. Trouble is, I'm down to 34 of them. :D Rifles: .22LR .41Magnum .280 Remington .308 Winchester...

Probably 90% of all ER visits aren't life-threatening emergencies either. I don't know if people are just plain stupid or just are foolish with no common sense. :scrutiny:

I don't really know... if arming all tellers would be a good idea. It depends on how much of a low-life the robber is in each case. If they've got nothing to lose, they may have cased the place, seen the armed tellers, and decided to just walk in and shoot them all. There are people just that...

Unlimited free ammo? I'd have to shoot the Speer 210gr Gold Dot, Federal 250gr Cast Core, and Winchester 240gr Platinum Tip in .41Magnum through my multitude of .41Magnum handguns. Next would be ammo in .45ACP for my 1911s or perhaps .45GAP for the SA XD in that caliber I'm really getting to...

Well, it sure as HECK isn't the oil or everybody would be quarding the pipelines, wellheads, and pumping stations.
