That's really neat. I had no idea such a thing existed.
From that story, I found this example of a self-cocking revolver from the early 1900s:

No kidding.
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going over to the pilot's forum and tell them how my experience with a computer game and the ability to read tomorrow's newspaper taught me how they could avoid all plane crashes.
Will a 30 round curved mag even go in the mag well and lock in if its put in backwards? Seems like you would notice when you tried to chamber a round even if it does.
I am originally from the southern part of the state. Henryville area.
Wish I was still there, but for employment purposes I wound up in Greenwood/Indianapolis area recently.
I can't wait to go back.
"All loaded firearms MUST remain holstered" is an excellent alternative, and one I can respect.
Like your own experience says, the "no loaded firearms" sign doesn't work. Its no different than the restaurant that has the no guns sign. They just want a safe environment, too, and mistakenly...
I think he makes an invalid assumption about the revolver. The bullet is meeting a lot more resistance pushing water out of the barrel than air, so its going to cause a lot more gas to escape between the cylinder and the barrel than it would in the air. Obviously some gas escapes, but not as...
Kind of what I was thinking. Every lb of gun is a lb less of food, water, etc. Plus if you find a cache of ammo, isn't it likely you'd find a suitable gun for that cache there too?
...hmm. All that, and yet still doesn't have the most essential accessory of all. A sling. I guess he just does bicep curls with it while he carries it everywhere.
People are strange.
Lots of new shooters do, revolvers tend to point better and feel better in the hand, in my opinion. Probably since the grip doesn't have to worry about being able to accept a box magazine, so it can curve more, be narrower, etc.
That said, make sure you are comparing apples to apples. If...
I think you'll have trouble with anything under a sweater vest, especially in a shoulder holster.
Shoulder holsters aren't really the best for concealment without a good cover garment. Where they shine is ease of access when a belt holster wouldn't work well. Imagine trying to draw while...
I saw Bud's is selling a .41 Taurus with a 2.5" barrel for $368. If anyone is interested in reviving their own personal .41 experience, that seems like a good price.
Orion Arms sells reloading supplies, and they are in Jeff. I think several of their staff are members here, but BoomStick is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
I like that he points out his vehicle is blocked in or disabled for the scenario. If your vehicle is still mobile, its a superb weapon. Lots more stopping power than any handgun, and faster than any set of sneakers for getting off the "X".
Who cares if its a popular caliber? 30 years ago when you were stuck with what the hardware store and the local gun shop carried, maybe, but today anything can be brought right to your door with a few clicks on the web.
I went to Bulk Ammo and they had 32 boxes of S&B, 29 boxes of Remington...
