A nice “upbeat” commentary on America’s future

Nost, I’m a little lighter than you and I haven’t had any problems either. Could just be chalked up to proper technique with holding the weapon appropriately. Most of my shooting has been either .45 or 9 mm, so this new revolver will be a bit different. It won’t get used much, tho. This particular gun is somewhat rare so I want to keep it in it’s original condition. This is the actual gun:

Didn’t mean to hijack this thread. It’s just happens to be a fine weapon that will last longer than any of us.

The kick depends on how much gunpowder is loaded in the cartridge – for target practice you might want a lighter load. If you are looking to blast through walls to kill the bad guy on the other side, go with a hotter load (of course you wont mind the kick so much under that scenario). Ask at the range, they can steer you to the right ammo.

[quote=barnaby33] America still is the greatest wealthiest nation on earth. Its economy is basically solid (except for our huge pileup of debt) and as a nation we are for less rigid in our economy than most. We will adapt albeit at a poorer level.

It may take a while but the end is not nigh. Unless of course you are a merchant of debt.

actually, not. there are many countries in Europe whose average standard of living is superior in terms of per cap income, health care, etc., so quit smokin weed son. besides, you left out the cost of empire and war waging, with expensive weapons, costs which none of these other countries have. factor those in, your argument is a huge loser.

pablo: Always shoot your combat load, even on the range. A common mistake that inexperienced shooters make is to fire a “target” load on the range and then load the weapon with a hotter load for protection. Big no-no.

Many .357 shooters use .38 Special on the range and then load .357 Mag loads for protection. In a combat situation they are then unused to the recoil and muzzle flash of the heavier Magnum load and therefore are ineffective at the most crucial time.

Definitely don’t ask at the range, unless your rangemaster is an experienced combat trained shooter.

Federal makes an excellent load for the .357, the 158gr Hydra-Shok. Takes a little getting used to, especially with the recoil and muzzle flash, but a real stopper, especially coming out of a 6″ tube like your K frame Smith.
