I've watched enough of Gun Blue , and fact checked against my own knowledge, that Gun Blue is credible, if even more Old School than l am . That said , stripping and cleaning a 1911 is very well known and established , over the previous 115 years . There are literally countless numbers of...

Good Irony . But Broome ( where this happened) is 700 miles by air , 1,150 miles by road away from Darwin . And ( even though recent news article ) , this happened in 1987 .

1st Model .44 Hand Ejector ( Tripple Lock ). Once upon a time , the closest I'll ever come was an Early ( commercial Blue and Checkered Walnut) Canadian Contract 1st Model , with correct 1920's conversion to .45 Colt , in G to VG condition . The price was good for what it was . But at that...

Sorry O.P. , but in full disclosure : West Virginia ( and adjacent parts of neighboring states ) are Ground Zero of the current round of Narcotics Addiction . Per capital more overdose deaths , and junkies , than on the Coasts, and major urban areas . Oxy ( aka Hillbilly Herion )...

It's not that the Northface coat will stop the bullet . It's ( potentially) whether the Carhart , leather vest , two flannel shirts , and waffle weave longhohns will clog the cavity , such that it performs akin to a FMJ , instead of expanding more or less as intended. This is a big part of...

In defense of our Neophyte Theead Starter , the legitimate subject ( almost always) isn't about the handgun projectile not penetrating at all . It's about if they will Expand somewhat as intended , or be effected by the multiple thick layers of clothing, such to not expand , or only minimally...

Holy 1970's Batman ! :) [ the Enforcer ]

Almost. The bungled version had me putting a .40 cal mag into a 9mm gun . Which would be even worse than the reverse .

Back on the Original Topic : Yes , your pistol is perfectly fine ( safe ) with any SAAMI or CIP spec commercial ammunition [ Subject to the obligatory test everything in Your Gun , in Your Hands .] With Bbl of 3.5 & shorter there might be factors of somewhat reduced velocity and/ or...

It's been a couple decades since Speer discontinued the Flying Ashtray ( the actual projectile , product #4477 ) .

Opps ! Finger slip. That's a G27 ( w/ G23 mag ) .

Yes , the Highway Patrolman ( Later M28 ) was the * Plain * version of the .357 Magnum ( Later M27 ) . Matte blue instead of high polish blue . No topstrap checkering . 4 and 6 inch only , while the M27 had origonal standard lengths of 3.5 , 5 , 6.5 , 8 3/8 , and every length inbetween as...

Most of the responses are in the context of hunting them American Style . The OP is doing Euro Style Driven . Moving fast , in his general direction , within 22 yards . Since you didn't express a burning desire to use a Single Shot Pistol , on purpose , to make a point , we'll skip over it...

In the modern era , "gas station " is often synomous with Convience Store , and/ or Carry Out Restraunt . At any time , the majority of patrons aren't actually buying gas .

Your options are clear : 1. Blow them 2. Moving van 3. Do without

Oh , there's lots of modern " wonder technology " l'd like to avoid / roll back .

If Shibsdog will permit me to condense : Intended to penetrate then standard Russian Body Armor , using an AP projectile that is not available to the public . Other than that , think of it as a Reloadable .22WMR .

Not that can't sometimes be a factor , but the internet , and illitterate ,zero attention span public is happening everywhere .

And the whole thread illiustrates that state laws on such non firearm tools vary hugely . Read them carefully where you live and go . On my turf , the Dangerous Wespons statute , exempts holders of Handgun Carry Permits . Before our State 2A Org achieved an injunction against the worst of...

Kubaton . It's a "keychain " .
