    Did past generations aim lower?

    I was watching Magnum Force just now and noticed that the targets at the police range had the circle placed much lower on the silhouette than they are today. It was roughly from the diaphragm to the top of the pelvis. Can anyone comment on this?

    Which snub fits these characteristics?

    Thanks again for all the replies. Lots of choices and lots to think about. Taurus 85 - I love the look, but don't they all have locks? Charter Arms - I think I'd prefer the quality of the bigger names. S&W 66, 10, 64, etc - Look good. I'll keep an eye out. S&W 36/60 - I'd been looking...

    Which snub fits these characteristics?

    Thank you for the replies so far. I will look at them in the morning. Suggestions that are "one off" from my specs are welcome, especially something relatively trivial like finish. Should have said that originally. Naybor, do you carry the sp101?

    How far should one be able to run from danger?

    As far as humans vs. animals, it's interesting that over short distances, pretty much anything can beat us. But for endurance running, humans actually are extremely well-evolved, in part due to our cooling system. We can outrun lots of animals, even horses, over long distances, especially in...

    Open carry is setting us back. IMO

    My two cents: 1. I agree with the gentleman who said that the OC "movement" has done more for gun rights than anything else. The activists are making serious progress. I've been following OCDO for a long time, and it basically started in VA and has exploded out across the country. 2. I...

    Didnt find what I needed Seaching...Buying a .45 for my home...

    You keep saying this, and I don't understand it. Why should it take any more commitment than any other firearm? As for the whole "cocked and locked," common sense to me says it's a heck of a lot safer than, say, a Glock that's "cocked and unlocked." I think a novice with a Glock is more...
