Hey, gun nuts!

[Peregrinator]

What... only 7 yards...lol! I never had much luck at tomahawk throwin'

I spent last evening looking at more you-tube video of this thing in action. Seems to have a ejection problem with the 180 grain .357 rounds... think I've crossed it off my "want" list. The friggin' holster is almost as pricey as the gun

I have a Winchester 88 that someone left to my wife when he died, and I'm not a huge fan of lever action. It's temperamental.

Question: 9mm or .40 Cal. What's your preference? Why?

Question: 9mm or .40 Cal. What's your preference? Why?

What's the purpose?

 

[Ldy_Sea]

From a lot I have read the 9mm and its high muzzle velocity it has a tendency to over penetrate especially people risking injuring bystanders. This is one reason many if not all US cops have gone to the .40 or .45 slower muzzle velocity and heavier bullet mean less over penetration and more damage to the person you need to shoot as the bullet will stay in them and bounce around.

Got this in my Gun Reports email today... been lookin' for something along this line for concealed carry:
Smith & Wesson's new M&P Shield is a slim, concealable, lightweight, striker-fired polymer pistol. Available in 9mm and .40 S&W, the new M&P Shield has an easily concealed 1-inch profile and an optimized 18-degree grip angle.

It's already sold out and on back-order, good luck.

Same thing, remember the evil black talon cop killers? All HP's are made that way now.

 

[Ldy_Sea]

Black talons are still legal here in FL. I know someone who carries them evey 3 rounds in his gun. He thinks they are best for penetrating car windows and/or engines.

He needs to shoot engine blocks every third shot?

All hollow points now have the notched jacket now. FMJ for car windows/engines.

I put a .357 round into a block one night after some drunks threw a beer bottle at my car. The engine stopped, they got jailed.

No consequences for you?

 

[koalabear]

No consequences for you?

Nope, why would there be?

 

[Peregrinator]

Nope, why would there be?

Depends on the cop, I would think.

.40...seen it take a man off his feet at close range.

 

[koalabear]

Depends on the cop, I would think.

Nope, common sense.

 

[Peregrinator]

Nope, common sense.

That and state and local ordinances, no? I mean, I agree that there shouldn't be consequences, but I can see something like "discharging a firearm within a school zone" or some such.

Were you stopped, or was that a truly nice shot from a moving vehicle into another moving vehicle?

McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, McMillan Firearms Manufacturing, McMillan Group International have been collectively banking with Bank of America for 12 years. Today Mr. Ray Fox, Senior Vice President, Market Manager, Business Banking, Global Commercial Banking came to my office. He scheduled the meeting as an “account analysis” meeting in order to evaluate the two lines of credit we have with them. He spent 5 minutes talking about how McMillan has changed in the last 5 years and have become more of a firearms manufacturer than a supplier of accessories.
At this point I interrupted him and asked “Can I possible save you some time so that you don’t waste your breath? What you are going to tell me is that because we are in the firearms manufacturing business you no longer what my business.”
“That is correct” he says.
I replied “That is okay, we will move our accounts as soon as possible. We can find a 2nd Amendment friendly bank that will be glad to have our business. You won’t mind if I tell the NRA, SCI and everyone one I know that BofA is not firearms industry friendly?”
“You have to do what you must” he said.
“So you are telling me this is a politically motivated decision, is that right?”
Mr Fox confirmed that it was. At which point I told him that the meeting was over and there was nothing let for him to say.

I think it is import for all Americans who believe in and support our 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms should know when a business does not support these rights. What you do with that knowledge is up to you. When I don’t agree with a business’ political position I can not in good conscience support them. We will soon no longer be accepting Bank of America credit cards as payment for our products.

That was ballsy. I'm not sure, even if I were armed, that it would have occurred to me to shoot at someone who threw a bottle at my car.

Regarding BofA, I don't understand why anyone does business with them.
