Accuracy is the most important thing as stated above. Statistics show caliber has very little to do with winning a fight, when dealing with handguns. If you shoot 9mm the best then stick with it. The only guaranteed "one shot stop" is an accurately fired round through the brain stem. I've been...

A state LE department here was issuing Kimbers to their guys and was having some issues with them so they switched out. I have a Kimber stainless TLE II that has about 700 FLAWLESS rounds through it and it shoots like a dream. I paid $800 for it very lightly used when I was looking for a...

I love both and carry both, Glock at work, 1911 for fun. Have you looked at the S&W M&P Shield? It's a single stack polymer gun with full-size ammo, 9mm, 40 cal. I have a M&P compact I carry concealed which is essentially the same gun double stacked. Then there is the Kimber Solo. Edit...

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info, sounds similar to how Maryland works over on this side. Does your Brother in law's hospital fly SAR stuff or is it mainly medical transport?

I figured since this forum has a large following from AZ I could maybe get some info about these guys. Is anyone familiar with DPS Air Rescue Paramedics as far as requirements, job description, and recruitment go? I have searched the DPS website but haven't come up with much. I thought I would...

I'm a Toyota guy, nobody matches the build quality. Having said that, the XJ is one of the best 4x4's built for someone with a normal budget, anyone who says different is purely an idiot. Along with my 7 Toyota's I've owned and offroaded 4 XJ's, and my current project is an 88 Comanche with a...

Hey man, I stopped coming to the site very often because I dont really like the way a lot of things are heading here. A lot of people here aren't of the same mindset as me. Anyway, if you want to get up with me in the future you can email me direct at jharris504@aol.com

I totally understand. There are some spots I know of that I dont post publicly due to that fact. Next time I head out there I will shoot you a PM.

I hear what your saying, you could also throw in the extra bruising on your shoulder from the 7 mag. I actually paid much less for my 7 mag than I would have for the .270, which is why I bought it. It was the year prior's model and had been discontinued. 10% is still 10%, and I would feel...

I am currently hunting with a Remington 700 in 7mm mag when I need a scoped gun. It too, drops them dead in their tracks. I dont know what all of this talk about blood trails and trying to find kills is all about??:elkgrin:. Seriously though I really like the 7 mag with my 700 because it is...

There are some decent sized deer over there in the delta. I killed my biggest 9 point in Chunky near I-20. To keep it ballistic related, he was shot at 50 yards with a 30-06. That round put him straight on his back and he never moved from that spot. The result was massive cavitation from the...

I would like to see the ballistic numbers of an actual arrow fired from say a 60lb bow. I doubt you have any "cavitating" energy transfer from the arrow so you are relying solely on the actual hole to make the kill. If you could compare the same to a firearm round, I wonder what it would be...

Also found the picture of the skull and a listing for her kill in the record book. http://www.albertaoutdoorsmen.ca/record-book.html Notice the .22LR holes in the side of the skull.

It was not a hunt, but it definitely was a record kill. She was in her cabin alone and the bear was out in front of her place. She said she was scared knowing that it was out there so she shot it with the only thing she had, a .22LR I believe. I wasn't, by any means, saying it is a good idea to...

I would really like to hear a write up of the roads you hit. You could send a PM.

A Canadian record grizzly kill was held for years by a little old woman and her single shot .22 rifle. One shot to the cranial vault and he went down. I think she put a few more holes in him though for good measure.

Velocity plays a big role in cavitation and energy transfer as well. Here are some stats of a few comparable rounds: .40 S&W 155 gr 1275 ft/s 559 f/lb .357 SIG 125 gr 1430 ft/s 568 f/lb .357 Mag 125 gr 1600 ft/s 711 f/lb The 125 gr 357 mag is FAST with high energy transfer...

I wont speak about morality of a knocked out muley, whatever, I wasn't offended (I'm sure he was dead anyway). I am glad you shared the story though. Around here it is a general rule of thumb (not a law) to take big game with a caliber equal to, or larger than .40, with at least a 150gr bullet...

Thanks a lot. This is the first time I have used editing software and I am still experimenting with things.
