Me trying to figure out wtf a cam gear even is

 

for the price.. I think it ain’t too bad. I’ll prolly do it on my garage, no Kirtland hobby shop necessary.

 

There is a sale on it right now because of COVID haha.

Been out of touch for a while, hope everyone & families are healthy and safe.

as for the gun, I have a Sig P229e2 9mm in the house, but in my truck for camping & walking the dog, I carry a Glock 32, .357sig FMJ & HP and extra clips. Now I believe just a little bit more penetration for 4 leg animals with the FMJ

 

I had a nail on the front passenger tire today so I took my truck to Discount to get it fixed. I went ahead and took my wheels there too just to see if they would install them. After 2 weeks of sitting in the garage, they are finally on!

 

Awesome, hope you were pleased with Discount! Looks great!!!

 

Nice Horger looks great!

 

.357sig is a powerful round in terms of velocity, nice. FMJ bullets in that round should go through any animal you'd encounter here.

My home pistol is an old 3rd-gen S&W 5906 9mm; heavy as sin but doesn't kick as a result, and I have over 12K rounds through it with absolutely no issues. I have no other semi-autos that reliable.

On the trail, I usually have a large Ruger revolver with me as well, usually my Super Redhawk in .454 Casull; it will go through a Buick end-to-end.

 

That looks really nice!

 

It's probably pretty obvious but we'll have to cancel this month's meet up, unfortunately, I hope everyone is staying healthy.

Well keep the May 7th meet up on the board and reassess the situation toward the end of Apri, just wanted to give everyone a little heads up.

 

We can social distance ourselves on a trail and tailgate.

 

Wow,never occurred to me that I would have to shoot a Buick in self defense.

 

You'll laugh, until a '59 Buick with fins & fangs sneaks up on you when you're hiking or whatever. You gotta be prepared!

 

Edsels can be menacing as well, but they're pretty rare.

 

Haha I mean a trail run is fine with me I'm still open to that.

 

Saw some where that 45 Colt makes a good practice round for the 454. It that true?

 

Yes, at least in my Ruger; it's a very attractive option. I've even loaded round lead ball ammo for it in .45 Colt cases, at really low velocities.
I bought the gun a long time ago at an extremely good price from a friend, before I got arthritis in my hands from a ski fall. I hand-load for most of my guns; the Casull ammo seems to not get used up at all. I also have Redhawks in .44 and .41 Magnum, and 4 .357's.

 

My SR sees a lot more Colt through it than Casull.

 

No one else here is old enough to remember when cars had fins.

 

@pigger I would love to shoot your Casull. I have looked into the Redhawk in that caliber. Last time I shot a .454 it almost broke my wrist but I am willing to give it a try with a gun with such a large frame.
