A nice “upbeat” commentary on America’s future

[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]pablo:
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.

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. [/quote]

Thanks for the tip Allan. I’ve never owned a revolver, let alone a nice K frame .357. I understand that I should stay away from 125 gr rounds because they have a potential to crack the barrel forcing cone. I’ll probably only put a box or two of rounds through this gun in its lifetime. I want to keep it in fairly desirable condition. This will spend most of its time locked away, and will never be used for home defense. For that, I have my Sig 9mm. I’m comfortable with that and fairly proficient. Plus, it has the night sights and the high capacity magazine. I’ve been fortunate enough to having never needed to pull my weapon on someone, but I’m sure the nerves/panic kick in. I like knowing I can miss 6 times and still have 9 more rounds to go before reloading:)

In matters of home defense the shotgun is still superior. Hard to avoid the target under pressure. Increase magazine and other modifications for more practical applications. Hand guns are for bravado.

peterb: Yup. Good ole 12ga does the trick. I carried a shotgun in the Army and swear by it for close in stuff.

I have a Remington 870 Police with a mag extension and use a mix of 3″ Magnum slug and 00 Buck loads. If you can’t stop someone with 9 shots of 12ga, you deserve to be dead.

Veritas: That thing (the Desert Eagle) is a complete boat anchor. Fun to shoot and completely worthless in the real world. I’ve fired it in .44 Mag and .50 AE and it makes a big boom, but you can hit the broad side of a barn with it. Any handgun that weighs nearly as much as a rifle is kinda pointless to begin with.
