looking at a new gun

[Richie O]

Yup Philip, it ran right at him and turned right at the end and kept on going. He got lucky. I really like both guns in this thread. For a concealed weapon I would go with the break action, smaller one.

I bet a 410 slug would back up just about anything at close range.

Dar

You would be suprised. It doesn't do that much. It doesn't expand very much. Now take and drill the end. Then put a BB into it. Then it will exand some.

In close a load of #4's would do better. At 15' a load of #4's out of a DD will normaly cover the center of a sheet of plywood pretty well. At 6' or less your looking at a 8" pattern. That will mess up someones day pretty bad and fast.

Within touching range. It would act like a shark bang stick. Instant jello inside.

With 45 LC silver tips. 15' normaly would keep the rounds inside the 8 ring on a B57 target.

Now remember they also make those DD in 45/70 rifle. No I have not shot one. A shop I used to deal with kept trying to get me to shot the one they had. I told them the only way that would happen was when a bear ran into the shop and was about to bite my hand. At that point I don't think the recoil would have mattered. I would have pulled the trigger.


BTW I finaly got him to tell me how bad that 45/70 DD was on recoil after a year of trying. The 1st shot your hand and wrist goes numb. The second shot your arm goes numb up to the elbow.

You've got me curious as to what's up there that a .45 bullet won't stop. Bears, moose..........

We have a few fur barren critters that wouldn't appreciate such a thing. It may kill them eventually, but until then you may become food.

I had a guy working for me for 6 years that got buck shot from a 12 gauge in his arm and leg. Pissed him right off, and he walked to the car, and walked into the emergency room. One of his buddies thought he was a buck I guess.

Some one have a Dick Chaney moment?

I really think the shooter thought he was another guy that was hunting and wanted to off him. I think he shot the wrong guy. I know for a long time he was a little leery of getting back into hunting. I wonder why? I know another guy in town that got 12 gauge bird shot in the ass. The shooter thought his butt was a rabbit I guess. Anyone want to come to Maine for a hunt?

You know Mr RichieO I believe we had a discussion where you said that you had some folks up there that wanted gun bands. Wonder where they figiured that was a good idea.

There will always be a few bad eggs that make it bad for everyone.

[ellis93]

Sure enough. Sad ain't it

[cougar]

We don't have very many of those "mistaken identity" shootings up here. We do have a lot of "missing persons" reports though.

[ellis93]

Well.....had one fall in my lap today,sure glad I didn't run out and buy one new cause this one was cheap.

What it shoots

Personal defense/its(their)destruction
