Sorry, off topic thread: guns

A 22 on the hip is better than a 45 at home. A gun too big to carry or too much recoil is useless. I personally practice fast draw and rapid fire with my 10mm so I am prepared for situations where it becomes an issue.

I know full well the potential for over penetration with a 10mm. That's why I use a 12 gauge for home defense. Just the sound of the action cycling is enough to scare the crap out of a home invader.
I'm not one that believes there is one gun or ammo that is perfect for all situations. For people defense I like my 10mm with the reduced power loads similar to a 40 S&W. Double Tap Ammo makes a 230 grain round that is a 135 grain bullet on top of a 95 grain ball that I want to try for people defense. It's said that the ball hits 1" below the bullet at 25 feet. For animal defense (e.g. bears in Alaska) I carry the full power 10mm rounds, usually 200 or 230 grain. For home defense it's my Winchester 1300 Defender loaded with buck shot.
I got away from revolvers because they are too big and bulky. I carried a S&W 44 Mag for many years before going to a semi-auto and the 10mm. I loved the simplicity of the revolver but the size more than offset that. After doing a lot of studying ballistics and talking to people who know guns it was obvious the 10mm was the best compromise for the area I was in. The only 10mm I could find in my price range that had the features I wanted was the Glock 20 so that's what I got. That gun has changed my opinion of Glocks.

screw ar's i shoot em all day at work. not a fan of .50 bmg either not for long range shooting anyways. if you wanna beat a 338 lapua go with a .408 or .375 cheytac or if you want extreme ballistics with not much omph go for a .260 ackley improved or a similar barrel burner.
forget about ar's and get a nice FAL or M1 pattern rifle or if you "need" to own an ar pattern go with one thats gas piston operated screw the traditional direct gas impingment......
who wants a rifle that poops where it eats?
i guess thats similar to EGR huh?

pancho, I don't know about Oklahoma but here in Georgia you can still find ARs at a decent price ($900). The trick is you have to go to a gun shop in a small rural town. I've been to gun shops around where I live (metro Atlanta) and they are always sold out, but ones in small towns still have a good supply. I called one gun shop in south Georgia, it was also a auto parts store..they had 20 something ARs.
