Gun Porn

Don't have a need for concealed carry here except for the large population of brown bears we have during the spring summer fall months. For when I go for hikes and walks I carry this little beast. I handload for it with 454 Casull brass with 355 grain bullets and around 45-50kpsi which is downright brutal to shoot! But this gun isn't really meant to be a fun gun for shooting that much but is meant to stop a 1000+ lb bear at close range if you are having a really bad day. I have other guns that are more fun to target practice, but I do practice with this gun as well, a little differently. Accuracy at less than 20 feet isn't as critical but speed is when it comes to a bear in your personal space and so my practice consists of trying to get all 6 rounds in a paper plate at 25 feet as fast as I can firing it double action. I generally have a slightly reduced load for this exercise as the full house 454 loads are too hard on the joints!

It is a nice easy to carry gun for these parts where you really need stopping power but due to its short 2.5" barrel it has a very short sight radius so isn't easy to hit with out past 50 feet or so.
This gun can really put on a pyrotechnics light show too, especially with H110. Also since I live within 40 miles of Canada, I always make damn sure this thing isn't sitting in the car, boat or camper when I am visiting over the boarder. Taking this into Canada would likely be a one way trip as it is completely illegal to have a gun with a 2.5" barrel there.

In the seventies I went target shooting on my motorcycle here in Commie Canada with a 30.06 mauser strapped to my back.Today that would get me chucked in jail toot sweet.I came back from Soo Michigan once with a 1858 .44 cal Remington revolver and the customs people had a full blown meltdown.Needless to say I had all the rcmp paperwork to take it to usa and back but boy did I cause a panic! On the Michigan side they waved me through and to this day I remember the border guard saying that's not a gun because its black powder.
 
S.C. is a gun crazy state and here's our former governor Nikki Haley at the firing range. She's now our UN Ambassador and one tough cookie.

I think this thread is going to get shut down if we keep harping about gun politics. Hope that doesn't happen. I think we all are aware of the laws..
More porn,less politics! :biggrin:
 
When I was in the military (back in another lifetime :)), EVERY soldier I met from Tennessee was a great marksman.... they must train them well from an early age....

Well, that seems appropriate. Sergeant Alvin York, WW1 MOH recipient, was born in Tennessee. They are obviously following in his footsteps. :thumbsup:

I'll take high wages, good workmen's comp and unemployment insurance and first rate ethnic restaurants and Phil's <real> Chicago pizza, thin crispy crust and cut in squares, over guns any day.
