If you guys aren't watching videos on Full30.com, you should be. That is a gun/outdoor video site. Dave Timm from Learning Firearms/Guns&Tactics has a video page over there, along with all the other regulars like IV8888, Military Arms Channel, etc. YouTube is still hosting stuff, and that's not...
Hey, another thread resurrection! I've worn out my holster and made a new one. More pictures & words at: https://goo.gl/photos/TcVzXaWEBE6BEQrL6 https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/wHavGfy_JovSj4VJAN8wPwGwjrECvKwriDylxXJ1jW9ugBxDXk4TDGam8KFuWZoha9H2BAU3HtiOMeyceXTs_YvJQunBoyUrOZA9grO1n...
Not that you mention it, I DO remember your "extra crispy" 357 mag loads. In those days, however, you more or less looked like your avatar most of the time, so if you got shot or the gun blew up, it wouldn't muss up your looks hardly at all. Well now I gotta post this picture again. https...
A 125gr JHP .357 over a max load of H110 goes (by actual measurement) 1220 fps out of my 2 1/4" Ruger SP101, and 1320 fps out of my 3" GP100. So I would say: A) a 3" barrel is better by 100 fps, or 8%, B) Even out of the short barrel, .38 Special isn't going to touch that. Having said...
With a full power .357 Magnum load, a lot of energy is wasted in the form of blast and flash in anything less than a 4" barrel. On the other hand, there's still enough left over that it's definitely more effective than an .38 +P, despite what you might hear. http://www.mnguntalk.com/viewtopic.p...
IDPA = I Don't Practice A lot Get the Steel Shoot dates off of this forum and show up for some fun. It is pretty much Steel Challenge format with some twists. Definitely on the steel shoots. The only trouble with the steel shoots is, they're only once a month. IDPA, you could do three times a week ...
Pat just fills the case to the rim with Titegroup, jams a big azz boolit into it to compress the powder and crimps the crap out of it. He then goes to the Steel Shoots and kicks many semi-auto shooters with his GP-100 (myself included). He does it in style too....big cloud of smoke when he's done f...
