    Engraving a cary piece

    Just remember that any gun used for self defense may be held indefinitely in police custody. While there it will not be cleaned, not even to have blood wiped off the outside, as that is evidence. Also, the evidence lockers I have seen were not really configured for the kind of careful storage...

    45 L.C. Shotshell

    The ACP rounds probably won't have enough power to cycle the action so the auto becomes a single shot.

    45 ACP 200gr lead swc loads

    Don't know if they still do, but Black Hills used to offer that load. I still have a few boxes somewhere.

    Magnas on N Frames

    I, too, have short palms and short fingers. I generally carry with the finger-groove type combat stocks which fill in behind the trigger or the magnas. One advantage of the smaller stocks is more clearance for the speed loaders. They are also easier to hide. I find the high positioning...

    Reduced Recoil .44 Magnum

    Georgia Arms, I believe, offers a 240 grain lead SWC at about 1100 fps. They shoot well and are very controlable with practice, decent prices too.

    .44 Magnum Ammo

    Georgia Arms make good ammo and the prices are as good as any other factory ammo I've found. Their 240 grain lead loads in .44 mag are equivalent to the old Winchester midrange loading (about 1100 fps).

    44 Mag Defensive loads

    210 grs at 1200 fps Sounds like Winchester's Silvertip .44 mag load.

    Do dogs take on the personality traits of their masters?

    Once you get to know them well, each has their own personality, just like people. Over time accomodations are reached with reguard to walking speed, house rules, etc. Who accomodates depends on whether the dog sees you as the leader of the pack.

    Anyone else love the Brinks/Broadview Burglar Alarm Commercial??

    Winchester .380 ACP pre-fragmented load?

    What he said. Snake/rat shot has almost no penetration. If you can't use at least a .22 to dispatch an animal, get a hammer. It will be more merciful.

    Florida non resident permit?

    I don't think your case is pertinent in Florida As you have a Florida permit. It would be an issue in Colorado but carrying in Florida on a Florida permit doesn't involve reciprocity. Just my take and worth every cent you payed for it.

    Where/how would you like to:

    Since I hunt alone people are alway asking me "Arn't you afraid to die alone?" My usual response is "No matter where you are or how many people are watching, when you die, YOU DIE ALONE". Personally, I'd like to manage it in such a fashion as to provide an enduring mystery. At least then...

    Question on size of Colt vs. S & W revolvers

    I think the Colt's run slightly larger. I know that holsters intended for the Python are a little loose with a K-frame.

    Georgia Arms 41mag Swc?

    I've used it. It is a good approximation of the old LE load put out by the major manufacturers when the .41 was young. I have never had any problems with any of the georgia arms ammo and have used it for years.

    Safe Stop Ammunition

    If you reload You can look into Manstopper bullets (google) as an alternative but they have to be loaded deep or in shorter cases (.38 spl for .357 mag) or they are hard to load into the cylinder as the bullet is full diameter at the nose and can bind in the throat.

    Best Home Defense Ammo

    +1 on that. The intimidation value of a shotgun, especially a pump, is not to be taken lightly. On that pre 27, or any collector quality gun for that matter, understand that if you use it for a self-defense shooting it will take a long time to get it back from the police, if ever.
