    Guns You Should Have Bought When You Had The Chance, And Now Regret Not Buying

    A used S&W 327 Night Guard at a local gun show. Thought about it overnight and went back the next day to buy it, but it was gone.

    A number of countries, including the U.S., require access to social media accounts of visa applicants, so their is already some precedent for this.

    Indoor Range head trauma?

    A guy was shooting a .44 magnum revolver next to me at an indoor range. It did indeed give me a painful headache that lasted a few hours.

    What's a cartridge you'd like to see make a comeback?

    .32 H&R magnum. 6 rounds in a very shootable pocket-sized small frame revolver. Decent, if hard to find, self defense ammo, and also shoots .32 S&W long or short for practice or plinking. Would like to see S&W make another airweight J-frame in this caliber, and better ammo availability.

    Favorite small caliber handgun?

    A Ruger LCR 327 Federal Magnum, and a S&W 431, which I load with .32 H&R magnum or .32 S&W long, are two of my favorite revolvers - 6 rounds, compact, and easy shooting.

    327 magnum what's the appeal

    For me, the appeal is the versatility of a 6-round, pocket size, revolver that can fire .32 S&W long, .32 H&R magnum, or .327 Federal magnum.

    Inferior but nostalgic firearm you have to have?

    Nostalgic and, as others have said, “obsolete” might be a better term than inferior. The majority of my collection consists of revolvers, which many consider obsolete and inferior to modern polymer pistols, including several favorites in .32 caliber. Also, a 40 year old 1911.

    External ballistics

    I like this response. The formula above gives the velocity vs rpm at the muzzle, but after that the air resistance against, and its affect on, forward velocity and rotation are not necessarily proportional. I have seen a football thrown against a strong headwind - the ball’s forward motion...

    In colorado you have to show ID to buy airgun ammo

    The last and finally time I was in a Dick’s Sporting Goods Store, they insisted that I produce my ID to buy a small Swiss Army knife. I was 60 at the time. Store policy - not local law.

    Selling all of your firearms

    I plan to significantly downsize when I retire. I could do just fine with about 20% of what I have now. My collection is a record of discovery. With each new gun, I learned more about what works for me, and what doesn’t, what I like, and what I actually will use. This process of refinement has...

    Shooting problems for a right-handed shooter who is left-eye dominant?

    That’s my situation. Like some others, I shoot long guns left handed, and handguns right handed.

    An interesting take on ammo shortages from G and A

    Thanks. The other point I got from that article is that Guns & Ammo desperately needs a proof-reader/editor.

    What do you think is the most underrated handgun/rifle cartridges?

    I’ve become a fan of the .32 H&R magnum in a small, 6-shot, snub nose revolver (.327 Fed Mag LCR, or one of the several discontinued S&W J-frames). 6 rounds in a pocket-size revolver, acceptable self defense power with some of the modern ammo options, and very, very shootable.

    Why is there a gun and ammo panic now?

    Why is there a gun and ammo panic? Well, in my area: - The city and county are releasing criminals from jail - I guess they don’t want to be sued if inmates contract the virus. - A significant number of police officers have tested positive, and are off the job and in quarantine. - Law...

    Why aren't semi-auto pistol caliber carbines (PCC) the #1 choice/recommendation for home defence?

    “Why aren't semi-auto pistol caliber carbines (PCC) the #1 choice/recommendation for home defence?” For me, it’s because they won’t fit in the night stand, or into my pocket when I go to answer an unexpected knock at the door.

    How many different chamberings?

    Well, I hope to do some consolidation and rationalization, but as it stands today: 22 LR 22WMR 32 ACP 32 H&R magnum 327 Federal magnum 380 38 Sp 9mm 357 magnum 45 LC 45 ACP 410 12 Ga. I could probably live without the 45’s, 32 ACP, and maybe the 9mm
