I love that load, and for my SAA 45 255 gr RNFP, both shoot right to point of aim or point, the 158 is a great load in most Model 10s and copies and beat the tar out of RN for small game and 2 legged varmints, if that terrible need ever happens.
My opinion is formed by reading Keith and Skeeter, a large bullet hitting center of mass has a good chance of tearing or severing large blood vessels more than a 9mm or similar guns. My hands are to big to shoot Glocks the slide always catches the top of my hand unless I hold it to low have a...
I know that, I want one for hunting hogs and maybe gators if I draw a ticket. I held one years ago and I would not want to carry one for self defense. I just meant, using it as an example on pistol with power can do the damage from hydrostatic shock not enough speed. I think one load for the...
My understanding was the Widley came depending on the load around 2200fps, I guess my memory was wrong. I agree it is unreliable unless you are using something like a 22-250 and hit the right area. You need massive trauma, such as a brain stem shot to be sure ofa one shot kill or mass trauma to...
I have seen it, and looked at it again. Most fights are less than two shots, but be ready for more, just in case, just like most fights are under 25 feet, but be ready to have to reach out a bit further. I carry 3 mags for my 45 GI and reloads or extra rounds for the other. Aiming for the belt...
M&P Model 10
Buy it, it is a good carry gun, with flat nose bullets it is a good stopper, and it hold up great. I have a 53 M&P and a newer one. I don't carry them, they stay by my bed or in the gun safe as they are collectors piece. I am looking for one to carry to replace my Bersa Thunderer...
I would say the one you can control the best and place the shot most accurately under stress, the gun you know best and shoot with the most. Most bullets from handguns don't expand much in the human body, some do but cops tell me it is almost random unless fired from a high power and long...
Terminal Ballistics
I have a friend who is a former Homicide Detective and he has seen a lot of gun shot wounds over a 20 year career, he has told the the most fatal, guns are 22, 25 ACP 32 ACP and 380ACP non plus P. This doesn't mean the person stopped quick, but the round bounces around a...
stoping power
We are talking of 2 different types of shock, Hydrostatic shock occurs around 2200 fps. Systemic, shock from a wound, bleeding a loss of blood occurs from a serious wound broken bones organ damage etc. The body collapses or enters fight or flight until te former happens until the...
Yep, but double 000 or similar would have had more of a shock effect, glad you survived. I was speaking in general, and I always have been trained to double tap,which adds to the effect. Placement matters, as does individual constitution and a willingness to press home an attack. In most...
I knew a homicide cop he told me most of the always fatal shots were from380s and 25 ACP and 22s. Once inside they bounce around tore things up and the surgeons had a hard time fixing the damage. This doesn't mean a 25 or 22 is the best choice to stop some one now, but a round that does both a...
Small Rifle and Pistol primers
The material in the cups is not the same, the depth are not the same, the compound may be the same. The small rifle primer is made as is the large rifle primer to take a harder blow to set it off, and in autos to prevent slam fires. I have tried safely on my...
32 20
They are straw colored and I treat all revolvers as 5 shooters, as I grew up on a Russian and SAAs, had to got down 44 Sp cases to length for the Russian, but it was a lot of fun to shoot. The only jacketed I shoot out of it are my home defense rounds, That I load to 32 20 pistol levels...

Thanks for the info I took some photos with my D90 and a Sunpak flash, I hope they are a help. no medallion as you can see. The red in the back ground is the book the GunFighters of the Old West an over size book. I hope they help and I shot the serial number 2X to make sure it could be...
32-20
Sorry to be so slow getting back as I was laid up with a bad back injury,
Looking at her again the number on the butt seems to be, hard to read the stamping with my reading glasses so I used a magnifier, just small not degraded. I need to get new reading glasses I guess.
