I have a 10mm CBOB. I cannot say enough nice things about the 'bob. Let's put it this way - I ended up trading an Ed Brown Cobra Carry because I wasn't able to justify keeping it. Was the Brown nicer? Sure - but could I make it shoot any better than my CBOB? Nope!
So - I am a lucky guy. I have...
Ahhh, the great mystery of the 10mm. I find it amazing that, according to some experts, the same projectile going faster does "less" in their tests. Oh well, to each their own.
Easy answer is to get the 40 - easier access to ammo, and can be a member of the S&W group (aka Short and Weak)...
Cabelas made me me cry when the chose to not develop the Greenwood site. Like mammynun said, we pay the extra tax and the only way we can get to enjoy it is by getting 3 buddies with 3 guns each to ride shotgun when you visit the store. Oh well, I would probably be in the poor house if I had...
OK - another Ruger fan her, so accept that pre-declared bias :)
I bought one and sent it off to Clark Custom Guns to have a fat barrel and trigger job done. I put a good Leupold scope on it and guess what - between the size, weight, and scope, you can't really tell the difference when holding...
A big +1 on the Dan Wesson. Solid gun - if you can find a CBOB version, you have a compact powerhouse available. Carries like a dream, shoots even better.
I think that a lot of the issue has to do with the type of ammunition you are shooting. I actually remembered reading something about this recently in Handgun's magazine:
A Critical Choice
Remember, this is a so-called journal that really isn't - it is a gun writer being paid to report on a...
With all due respect, I don't enjoy shooting a bow and prefer to use a gun. It is no one's business what I use and resent the heck out of people assuming that I should be the one that has to change. I love my slug gun, PCR, and muzzleloader. People need to take the position of respect and...
For what it is worth, your logic is sound and I agree with you. The concern, however, is that Billy and Bubby (or Billy Bubba??) can legally sling lead out of a contender in 30-06 and be perfectly legal. I don't know if that scares me more than either one with a semi-auto 12 gauge shooting...
I agree that with even a "standard" deer round that a .243 is borderline. If you are really committed to using the .243, WLW's recommendation is perfect - get some Barnes TSX rounds and you have an entirely different cartridge on your hands. Much greater penetration and NOTHING is making that...
I'm afraid that for the OP, it is too late to throw out recommendations (no matter how credible) for an alternative pistol to purchase.
I have had 2 Kimber pistols that really gave me fits, each requiring trips back to the factory at least one time. My experience with the first was also that...
You know, 45calibre just touched on what is perhaps THE most important thing when deciding to carry a gun on your hip. The belt is one of the least discussed and most often overlooked component. You can buy the fanciest IWB holster out there (and wait the 6 months to get it) and it is next to...
I don't care who you are - THAT's FUNNY!:):
I love my 10mm - still a great choice for 1911 nuts like me that want a little flatter shooting cartridge, espeically in the field. If loaded properly, you have a pretty potent deterrance against most critters you run into including hogs.
Agree on the trigger on the Smith, but you still may want to handle the Redhawk. This latest model has a pretty decent trigger. Good luck with your choice.
About to take the plunge into the 3" 1911 arena - understand the +/- of the design as compared to the commander and full size guns (aka reliability). Just am ready for the weight savings and smaller footprint for my daily carry piece.
Question: Assuming the ability to reliably handle the ammo...
It's a funny deal. I have very different opinions in what I like versus what I carry today. To me, NOTHING is as beautiful (for example) as an older Colt 1911 or Python in their true Royal Blue version. Simply stunning.
About 3 years back, I saved up and got an Ed Brown Kobra Karry. Love the...
From what I understand, the company with that book has already addressed the topic. When an employee there is under suspicion of having a firearm in their vehicle, there will be a call to the police to request a search warrant for that vehicle on the suspicion of theft (paper, pen, equipment...
My Ruger Alaskan in .454 is not my first choice for comfortable shooting. But, it is rare that I shoot the nasty stuff - the thing is regular kitten with .45 Colts.
To be honest, I don't even know! All I know is that the creep is gone. I can best describe it in saying that getting it to shoot is now an event compared to before when it was a process.
You get 3 different weight of springs to install, plus you have a hex-head adjustable screw to mess...
