New Addition To The Roster

[Wlfman13]

When you visit the animal shelter, you’d better be ready to take a dog home.

I went, to hopefully just pet a laid-back Black Lab, and a spunky Pit Bulldog followed me home.

Trying to decide between names. “Sweetie Pie”, or “Little Miss Sunshine”.






My new S&W 340PD (a “bucket-list” gun, ever since I held one about four years ago)...

The previous owner installed Hogue G10 “Pirahna” grips, and a XS Big Dot sight. Exactly what I woulda installed. Perfect.

I bet that hurts with full load magnums. I had a Ruger LCR in .357 for a brief period. Too painful for me.

[340pd]

I have owned a 340pd since they came out and they are wonderful carry guns. I do not have a bit dot sight but I do have a pair of LG405 grips on the gun. I am not the least bit recoil sensitive and one of our regulars and I routinely challenge each other to a box of .357's at 75' offhand. I will say those Crimson Trace grips mitigate a lot of recoil and with the laser off that little gun is surprisingly accurate at longer distance.
BTW, stay away from ammonia solvents when cleaning and pay little attention to all the other crap you read about scandium guns.

I love being on a gun board.


You see these comments often. "Man I LOVE that gun. I bet it HURTS to shoot full power loads!" LOL!!



With that being said... Man I LOVE that gun! I bet it hurts to shoot full power loads! Bahahah… I've wanted one of those for a very long time.

[340pd]

I think you should name her "Little Miss Dangerous". Ted Nugent would be proud.

Kimber 38 Super

I acquired this a few months ago. It is my EDC pistol (38 Super) and has been my grail caliber a long time ago.

I dispatched a 4' copperhead that was an ambush predator while loading cut cedar branches into a tractor bucket.

One shot, one very dead copperhead with a JHP.

[kenemoore]

I have one full size, nickle plated 1911 in 38 Super, great round. I have some Corbon rounds that exceed .357 magnum ballistics, out of a full size 1911 it is easy peasy. I'm sure a 4" handles the recoil well also.
I'm not a reloader, so my only complaint is the cost of ammo.

[Bawanna]

Never did own a 38 super, always wanted to though. I best not think on it much just now, too many wants in the fire.

[CM9]

Ah---so many purty guns---so little time............ Use guys are tearrin me up. But I love it.

I had one for a few years. Bought it mid-late 70's. Sold it circa late 1980 and never much missed it. I understand the "need" and attraction for it back then, but don't in today's universe. Imo, you're not missin' much. But then, I'm not an apreciator of the .41 mag, neither.

[Planedude]

Hey, you gotta love the 41mag. I decided to buy one for carry...

Because you never know when you'll need to kill a Buick.

23oz, but sized like a K frame snub nose. I have a box of HSM "Bear load". It's a 230grn flat point, gas checked, hard cast round at almost 1200fps...

To steal a line from another source " That's enough kick to make you wonder if the bear would hurt less..."

I figure that one box is a lifetime supply... and no, I have not range sampled that particular load yet.

Peace
