Will Carry

I own and carry a Glock 36. I have one standard magazine and one +1 extended mag. I also put a CT laser guard on it. It's a very accurate, reliable carry weapon. As I'm typing this I'm looking down at my right pinky finger. That's the one that gets a blood blister on it if I shoot too many rounds with the standard magazine. The extended mag doesn't do it. The standard mag is a pinky pincher. It's a small price to pay for a reliable compact 45acp that fits IWB like a 9mm.

I want to shoot one. Cool looking gun. I wondering if they are not having problems with it. It was supposed to be in guns stores by now.

There is one way to find out. Get a box of .357 and give them a try. You really should try .357s in your snubby. In a self defense scenario the .357 would have much better stopping power, but it's no fun to shoot. The question is, is the recoil of a .357 going to make your snubby less effective? If so try 38sp +P then 38sp standard pressure loads. I carry a 38 special sometimes and I use standard pressure loads. They generate around 180ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle. A +P will give you 200-230ft/lbs (maybe) and a .357 will give you 300-400ft/lbs. Depending om the load. A 9mm delivers around 300ft/lbs. A 22lr might do 100-120. But I ramble too much......... One thing about SD with a .357 snubby, if you don't hit him, he'll be blind, deaf and singed.

GREAT ZEUS! That's a fine looking GP-100! I love mine too.

A buddy of mine said today, "Well winter is coming, I guess I'll have to put my 9mm up and get out my 40." I asked why and he said,"That 9mm just don't have the power to go through winter coats or heavy denim and still get good penatration." I have never shot my winter coat to see if it will slow down a bullet enough so that it is no longer lethal but do you think this guy has a point? Should I put up my 9MM up for the winter?

The twist in the rifling of the Judge has been reduced to help prevent the shot from the .410 rounds from donutting. This makes the 45LC round less accurate. Donutting is when the centrifugal force cause by the shell spinning in the barrel (Rifling) causes the shot to be slung outward when it leaves the barrel. A smooth bore judge would be much better, but that is illegal. If it were a smooth bore it would be considered a sawed off shotgun.

I am so glad you guys see it too! There is hope for America. I'm telling you now. China is a house of cards. One good breeze will send them down. We can beat these guys! I don't understand why we are so afraid of them. I will work harder and smarter than any Red Chinese MF!

Look under Merck.com and see if they have any career ops.

I watched it.........The music sucked and it wasn't that funny. I think John Stewart is dead on about the media. They are a bunch of fear mongers. I ain't skeerd I'm armed! I voting Tuesday! I'm voting a straight party ticket. In a city full of liberal dill holes my vote won't count for much, we'll see.

Stainless is low maintenance. They used blueing before stainless. I would recommend the stainless model.

Nice DMark! Not NICE. FANTASTIC! I'm working on getting one of those fine Smith and Wesson Classics. When I first started shooting handguns a few years ago I only shot semi-automatics. Now my semi-autos are often left gathering in dust in my safe. I get a lot of pleasure shooting my 4 Ruger wheel guns and 1 Smith Model 36 3".

My next gun is gonna be a revolver with a 6.5" barrel in .357 or .44 mag. But for conceal carry most people don't use them any more. I've never heard of using Molly Lube on a handgun.

If that was PINK you freak'em out. They'd run so fast the hounds couldn't catch'em!

OK it's a slow night at work........... If you were to choose a carry gun solely on fear factor and intimidation NOT on effectiveness or stopping power. What would it be? Is a big bore revolver scarier than a Bersa Thunder to a gangsta? Could you intimidate a thug with a scary looking gun? My Ruger Vaquero fits Mexican carry pretty well, I wonder if it would make a mugger hesitate long enough to gain the advantage? What about one of them pink guns? Would he spend and extra second wondering "WTF! Dat gun Bees PINK!"?

Didn't the "Son of Sam" murderer use a Bulldog 44? He said he had to soak his hand in Epson salts after he shot it. What a wuss! The 44 special is a great round for self defense. It a big slow moving bullet. It would rate it as more effective than a .357 in a short barrel. Only because it makes a bigger hole. The Bulldog 44 may not be much fun to shoot but it will stop a man. Shoot him in the pelvis and he'll drop like a sack a taters. Shatter the pelvis bone, biggest bone in the body. A man, even high on drugs, cannot stand up with a shattered pelvis. The .357 comes in to it's glory with a 4" or longer barrel. I shot my GP-100 today using some Black Hills 125gr SJHPs. 625ft/lbs at the muzzle. Love that revolver!

I read an interview of a South African LEO who has to use 115gr FMJ rounds in his 9mm. He has been in many gun fights and claims that "The bad guys never noticed that I was shooting 115gr FMJs." I have heard some bad things about the old 9mm 147 grain rounds. Chuck Hawks hates them. Frankly I would feel just fine carrying the Golden Saber 147 JHP in +P. As a matter of fact it is listed as one of the best self defense rounds in 9mm. Best Choices for Self Defense Ammo

I have shot the Kel-Tec 3AT. The Ruger LCP, Diamondback BD380 and the SIG 238. I bought the Diamondback DB380. I too had some break in issues but now it shoots great and doesn't jam. Most people like the SIG. It is the best in quality but the highest price. Pocker pistols are getting very popular now. Smith and Wesson has a new one that looks cool. Taurus makes one. It costs nothing to look.

I just like the old school looks of it. It's a man's pistol, not some sissy nickle plated automatic. Can anyone talk some sense in to me?

I'm just kidding! You are OK with me.

Oh yeah. A big arse. Giagantic! Huge! Monumental! El Arso Grande!.............Why do you ask?

I think I saw the Masaad video on you tube. That man is wise. I have read or watched as much of his stuff as I can find. Masaad says a 20 gauge is better than a 12 gauge! The only difference is that a 20 is faster and a 12 gauge chews up the flesh in to smaller pieces. Anything bigger than a 380 will shatter a mans hip bone and send him straight to the dirt. Crippled. If you miss the hip bone and hit his nutsack, all the better. Google Masaad Ayoob.

Sounds like a win win. Ever since I heard Masaad say that I have started shooting low.

If you can shatter their hip bone they will stop in their tracks. Most larger cailbers from 38sp/9mm up will do it. I don't know what the hip bone is called. That's according to Masaad Ayoob-i-one-canobi.

8 Shoots with 45acp and he walk out of the hospital 3 days later! WOW. Did he stop his attack? That's what it's all about. Stopping the attack, whether the attacker dies or not is inconsiquential.

Since you have already purchased the Walther, I would say it is a great concealed carry pistol! The 380 cartridge has come a long way since the James Bond movies of the 60s. I carry a 380 pocket pistol and use Cor-Bon Powerball ammo. I own an XDm-40 and an XD-45. They are so much fun to shoot! I also own a couple of Glocks, great guns too! I also like the M&Ps. I like'em all. Is this not a great country! Where a citizen has the right to bare arms and defend themselves. There are just too many pistols out there to own just one.
