I said I was an old timer, now I'm confused & you made me put my holster in a pan of boiling water!

luck,greg

 

Sorry versatility was my point

 

Extra cool...yes almost right however most people only think they are that good with a 50 which happens to be the only thing (hand held so to speak) that can out range it. Douglas's are manufactured right down the road from me.

Spot On!

 

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.

 

I shoot a Remington 700 in 300 Win Mag. That will shoot flat for a long way and the bullet gets out there in a hurry.

 

Ive been looking an AR-15.. there are none to be had, every supplier is on "Backorder"

 

I bought my AR-15 back in September and it has doubled in value. I talked to a guy at a sporting goods store that said they have a group of people that show up every morning when the trucks arrive to find out if there are any AR-15s. These guys are buying AR-15s without even seeing them.

 

My brother in law sold his for $900, and didnt even bother to tell me.

 

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.
