    Who carries a .44 Special?

    I too am a .44sp fan as I carry a 2" taurus in my side panel of my truck and a Ruger SBH cut down to 4.5" when out in the field. It is a lot more fun than a .44mag, but I load for them also for hunting. Jim

    38 special equals 9mm?

    My wife has a carry permit and carried a 2" .32 H&R mag. To qualify for a concealed permit she had to shoot a .38sp minimum. She shoots the class with a S&W 686 4" with 148g wc loads.

    1911 question

    I bought my first 1911 Colt series 70 over 30 years ago. I acquired a taste for the 1911 as the USN had me on the firing line every 6 months starting at age 18. This in my opinion is the most incredible pistol. My old series 70 has been tricked out to handle most types of ammo I would feed it...

    Snub nose revolvers in 22mag, 32 H&R mag, or 327 fed mag?

Jury is still out, both are great carry guns for the wife. The LCR may have the edge as reloading is be somewhat cheaper. Off the...

    .44 Special vs .45 ACP

    Short barrel pistols in .44sp or .45acp to me is for carry and SD. My primary carry gun was a .44sp 2" with 5 shots. This is a great gun to slip in your rear pocket (jeans). I would load it with 210g sthp for mild temps and 240g jsp for the cold. The people you want to avoid wear heavy clothing...

    338 ammo question

    This is one of my bolt guns of choice. I load a Sierra 215 game king for about anything I can hunt, including coyotes here in the windy winter. Great for long range on Antelopes. Sad to say I have not to date had a clean shot on a ELK, so Mule Deer is my biggest kill so far. Over kill vs...

    If you could have only one .38 / 357...

    I have a Colt Trooper MKlll 4 " in 38/357 I have carried on many hunting trips and it recoils with authority with 158g factory loads. My wife shoots a S&W 686 4" that handles that load with a lot less punishment. I admit there is over 30 years between the purchase of the guns.
