Launching 7mm over 3,000 yards.
Hits the small target on the third shot on a windy day! Incredible!
I'm even surprised coming from Mark. He didn't spend a hundred rounds walking it in either. Hit it again on shot 5 ! Legendary!
I bookmarked that Bigfoot short to share. Let's pray that will still happen.
To make America carry again, we'd have to get rid of all the scared to death young cops who are so afraid of everything and their shadows first and get some real cops in there!
Think about it, if everyone carried again, would that scare you or make you feel good? More people are carrying than ever now and it makes me feel good to know most everyone is armed.
War is about to break out here, if you want to live then you carry a gun or three. One time a young Trooper pulled me over, and I had my 1911 with me in the car and he wanted it so I gave it to him in the holster still cocked & Locked. He looked at it after he set it on the roof of the car and was about to unload it, I could tell. I could also tell that he he was unfamiliar with 1911's because he hesitated, so I made the suggestion, sir, if you are unfamiliar with that weapon perhaps it would be better not to do that. And somehow he knew I was right so he put it down again. Smart young man.
We either have the right to carry or we don't, period. Decide. This is a dangerous planet Brothers & Sisters a prudent man will go armed to protect himself and his charge. I decided long ago that I'd like to protect me and mine. So I've always carried for the last 41 years or so. All you have to do to not get in trouble while carrying a gun is don't be violent or start trouble. So I stayed out of trouble by not being a punk when I was armed. I've never had a gun charge or violence charge against me, not even DV except one with my brother over a milkshake when I was 19, lol. His girlfriend called the cops on me, they dismissed it cuz we were brothers and we hadda pay 81 bucks. But that isn't real violence and we all know that. No menacing threats or anything like that ever. SO they couldn't ever take my gun rights away and I carry every trip out into the world.
I've never had a permit and never will. If you take a permit from them, you are implying that legally, they can revoke it from you again. And we can't go that direction.
I called them “tactical Tupperware.
I laughed at them and said if they ever make a 45 I'll buy one! That was before the 45 and the 10mm. I got one now. I never have owned a wundernine, ever.
I own a few of them. I also own a few .45 cal firearms.... and a few .380, and a few .22 rimfires.
I like em all....
I've never owned a 380 either!
I did own a Mdl 83 though, FA 454 Casull that pistol has the best trigger on it of any SA I've ever felt before and it was only Field Grade! Those are awesome pistols. Sadly that one was stolen.
I bought lots of mine in the 80's and early 90's when they were dirt cheap. I only paid $1400 for the Mdl 83 way back in the day, forget what year. Now look at em! Out of reach.
I've got some loaded 255's on the shelf right now! but I wont shoot those in the G21, those are for the BH Convertible.
So you are a reloader too?
No, I'm not reloading, but just grateful to be alive after a series of crisis the past 2 years.
I do want to when able, so try to keep learning.
That's really cool that you have the same caliber/ gr. Tim Sundles just posted. Sounds like it would work well for whitetail hunting and as a multipurpose lightweight field gun.
No.... my 45s are a 1911 by Tisas, and a S&W Shield, and a Taurus 24/7..... I also have a Redhawk in .45 Colt. ..... oh, and a Rossi lever action in .45 Colt.
those things are absolute works of art.... above Swiss-watch quality... and they cost accordingly. Those are a bucket-list kind of thing for me... WAY out of my price range.
It is a shame that the freest nation on the planet, (that I'm aware of), has thousands of ordinances, administrative policies, codes and laws that violate the 2A.
I can understand why you carry a weapon for self defense all the time. There have been many times my life was threatened by criminals and big dogs (just walking down the street.)
I've also been shot at for no apparent reason on multiple occasions. When I reported one time to a policeman, he told me that I should NOT get a handgun because if I shot back in self defense he would arrest me! I understand that many police are pro 2A. I have had friends/ family in LE. But there are all kinds out there. Nobody becomes virtuous from going through an academy training and taking an oath.
They need to get saved and grow up spiritually just like anyone else. None of them can protect us when a criminal decides to take your stuff and your life. They might write the report afterwards and hopefully won't bring charges against you if you get a good one. Known both kind, local, county, state and federal.
Have you seen the documentary Innocents Betrayed? It gets into the subject you brought up better than any.
My dad taught us how to reload when we were like 7 or 8 yrs old and we used to help him and I'm the one who picked it up and bought my own, then he gave me some moulds after I bought a Rockchucker press. It's just a bunch of small stuff to know and you have to have the stuff. It's time consuming but worth it. It used to be cheap, I'm glad I got in it early! At this point, you wont spend less on ammo than you do now, but you'll have more ammo to shoot and it is more accurate then factory ammo. Dialed in for your gun.
Amen to such an awesome Dad!
Glad you carry on that good practice that he shared with you.
I've had several close calls over the years. One time I ran out of gas on the freeway and was gathering my things getting ready to to walk with my gas can. I was was standing outside the car bent over into it and the last thing I picked up was my 1911 45 pistol and shoved it in my belt and turned and turned around & Stood up and I was face to face with a city cop! I acted frustrated and said I'm out of gas! And He gave me a ride to the gas station and back to my car in his front seat with a 45 in my belt! I was sweatin bricks. I got away with it! Alll I did was not shoot the place up! You know how many banks I've been in armed to the teeth? I never did rob one! SO it really isnt hard to stay out of trouble.
One time I got attacked by a dog twice! And the second time I gave him a warning shot in the grass in front of him. (It was 4 paws in the air! Just like in the cartoons!) You see the first time I think the owner saw it and thought it was funny, but, I am a nice guy and it never got close enough to put's it teeth on me. Then 2nd attack I drew a line in the sand. And when he crossed it BANG!
The next day I saw the dog had a brand new new Tie-Out and Chain. Thank him for that, Now I wont have to shoot his dog. I dont want to. I know cops don't like warning shots, but I don't care. It worked beautifully. He ran right back home. (Bet the owner watched that too!)
I taught both my sons how to reload, and all 3 of my BiL (ex).
