I had the first .40 when they came out, but sold it and replaced with a 6906 which was my friend for many years. One thing both of them did was shoot extremely low, but consistent so a big of windage and I was on target. Ended up going the striker fired route. but would pick up a 6906, or a...
In answer to your question I do not think a 'one size fits all" answer would fit. For my gun wise/elderly, I would look at a Pistol Carbine like the rugers in 9mm with Glock mags. Shotguns for those who are comfortable with recoil and the dynamics/limits on ammo capacity. Youngsters 10-22, or...
I have the 6.5, 300 and 350, The .350 for Indiana woods is a heck of a good choice. Mine is exceptionally accurate as well and ammo much easier to find.
I have a grendel and shot it a bit. Not enough to be completely happy with it and would hunt deer in a heartbeat with the platform. Having said that , I have become very fond of the .350 legend and its easier to find around here and the deer I shot last year fell immediately. I have never...
A gun like the glock 19 that is in use in many law enforcement circles and could/should have won the military contract is hardly obsolete. I have both the guns mentioned and as hard as it is for me to day, i shoot the Glock far better than the sig. Both fill a purpose and each has its fans...
I have no problem spending my money and time at another place. You didn't create this problem. the bar owner did when he chose to make the policy. I would find another location, yes that means abandoning your friends in this situation. If they are friends they will understand your limits. I...
Getting too old to try speed hiking and for me its never the time, distance and enjoying the journey are keys for me. In doing the KT, Tucmseh, Adventure Trail, and up Mt. Leconte I typically average 2 miles an hour with a full pack. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Elevation change will slow...
Here is 2 and 4 inch comparisons https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/revolver-ballistics-test/. For deer I'd look at the hornaday leverloution line of bullets. I have had great results in my .44 mag.
the 148 grain Wadcutters are worth looking at. The old Nyclad lead round if it can be found/still made. I believe it was 125 grain. https://www.luckygunner.com/labs/revolver-ballistics-test/ is a write up of current rounds.
I was at a gun store and a guy pulled an airsoft gun on of his buddys who worked there and fired off several rounds...... This was at a gunstore where many off duty LEO and staff, customers are all armed and things turned out alright but wow.....
The 9mm will allow faster follow up shots also the round technology has made the 9mm JHP a much more effective round with improved expansion, penetration and wound channel is overall improved. Especially with Win. rangers, federal HST and such. Reading about the ballistic improvements in...
