Anyone put them on their L-frame? Opnions?

Anyone put them on their L-frame? Opnions?

I came across a small stack of this locally, not cheap but reasonable enough. Do any of you use/carry ammunition this in either the 125 or 158 gr. factory loadings? Impressions? How does it compare to the Gold Dots or Golden Sabers, etc.?

I have personally witnessed two negligent discharges involving Glocks, both of which ocurred during administrative handling. In each case the operator had his FINGER ON THE TRIGGER. Let me be clear: the operator pulled the trigger and the loaded pistol fired, 100% certain. Go figure. I...

I run 124 gr. "standard" Gold Dots in my nines year-round because they shoot to POA, function with monotonous reliability, and I like the color of the hollow pointedy thingy that sticks in the silver part of the other thing. The 124 gr. +Ps are dandy, too, but I prefer the way the standard...

The Federal Personal Defense (Reduced Recoil) and the 125 gr. Golden Sabers feel pretty mild to me. According to my targets, my guns like 158 gr. boolits best. The heavier projectiles. regardless of who makes them, also seem to kick the hardest. Go figure. lol I like the 135 gr. Gold Dots...

My two boxes read "Made in USA," too. So I went and shot them up. It was 53 degrees F when I got out of the truck at the range, and a very blustery 29 degrees F just under an hour later when I left. Impressions: They are a punchy-good and surprisingly accurate round out of my 4" 686p...

Thanks, Ron H. That's just the information I am looking for. It helps, and OOH-RAH!

My search locally for 135 gr. Gold Dots has been to no avail. A few boxes of 125 gr. Golden Sabers, and an odd box of Federal and Winchester, but there is very little .357 magnum of any stripe to be had anywhere. I did find a small stack of Independence 158 gr. JSP at one shop. I have...

If you ever have to put a large animal down, draw an imaginary line from the left eye to the right ear, and the right eye to the left ear. I can vouch for that. That's how the old man used to put down our freezer beef: with a single-shot Sears/Stevens "Favorite." Yes, that's a .22. One shot...

Thanks for your kind words, and you are quite welcome. Generally speaking, the "survival/survivalist" books leave a lot to be desired. Sorry, friends, but as much as we'd like to believe we are the love child born of the perfect union of Red Dawn, Rambo, and The Road, it just ain't so...

YA BUDDY. Preach it, brother. Those same baggy pants arsed video gaming dimbulbs are the progeny of the "average spoiled and soft and clueless" birth adults (they are NOT parents, and even calling them adults is a stretch) who raised their right hands when the media ringmasters pointed to...

Now that's a great post. I have been where you are for some time. You do a great job of laying out the pieces on the board for all to see. As for "[wondering] where this is going to end up," one place only: WORLD WAR. This one will be fought here, on our very own soil, too. We used to say...
