The OP asked that question: "What is the combat effectiveness of the .38/44?" Ok, yeah, as an earlier revolver built to withstand heavy abuse, and heavy caliber loads, why not as a combat piece of choice? In it's time, it is more modern than say, a Colt SAA. I'm doing fine, getting educated as...

Reply from Questioneer Thanks folks, for answering my question. In these times, where we as Americans are battling anti-gun legislations/legislators, batnuts anti-gun lawyers in courtrooms, died-in-the-wool pantywaisted slobs, who would pick up a revolver/pistol with two fingers, (with the...

Hi! When wadcutters are suggested a s a personal defense round, has anyone found that the BitterrootValley Ammo Company's 148-grain load, travelling at a reported velocity of 875 fps, sufficient for their needs? I remember Mas Ayoob stating that a round traveling between 750 - 850 fps would...

Well, since folks are going to post pictures of guns and knives, I have a suggestion. If anybody knows, or remembers, the 'standard' icon of a "Miner Forty-niner" had two things in his hands. One was a PEPPERBOX, and the other was a BOWIE KNIFE. "if the right one don't getcha, the left one...
