    Some not so common Handguns

    It could have been a 475 Wildey. It has been awhile since I seen the movie. And then there is Swarzenegger in that one cop show where he is playing a Russian cop sent to the US and he rattles of a Russian(?) handgun caliber, saying it is the most powerful handgun in the world. And just like...

    Nice. But Charles Bronson's 458 Webley in one of the Death Wish sequels has my vote.

    Some not so common Handguns

    I like your idea better....beer opener. I was going to guess 1) "skull cracker"....when in close quarters fist fight or out of bullets. Or 2) for trick shooting....shooting with one's back to the target, using a mirror, over the shoulder shot, using the non shooting hand or thumb to help...

    Mispronounced gun names

    That should have been: "or" not "for". My bad. Thanks for the correct spelling that I forgot to add.

    I was going to say southern. Or New Englander, ie. Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire. ____________________________________ Mazin Newgant for Mosin Naugant.

    Well according to the math, I've been 32 twice and don't really remember either time.

    Need to add a grate over that barrel for cooking up some hotdogs, hamburgers, pork ribs, and roasted corn on the cob.

    Not funny. Showed a neighbor and hunting buddy this. According to the doctors at the hospital he's expected to be released next weekend and have a full recovery by Father's Day. His wife is giving him a 50/50 chance. Now that she has somewhat calmed down after two weeks since his "accidental...

    Can they be trained to eliminate neighbors, oops, I mean stray cats, nuisance barking in the middle of the night for no reason doys, and cops entering the house between midnight and 5am with Raid at least once a week,...and never seen an insect of any kind in the house? Asking for a friend who...

    When hunting species like zebra or gemsbuck does the sex of the animal matter to hunters?

    I may be past my prime, but I ain't dead....yet!.....so yes I find sex to be more fun than important. Just not as important as in my younger carefree years. Since females are the only ones I hunt. I prefer to hunt at night at local waterholes between 11pm and 2am. Although I have been lucky a...

    Factory .416 Taylor Rifles

    For off the shelf availability (if that can be a factor nowadays), I would personally go with the 416 Rigby. Especially if I could use another cartridge with it, like using the 458WM in a 458 Lott, should I not be able to obtain 416 Rigby ammo while on a hunt. The 416 Rigby for nostalgia.
