The Best Handgun Caliber - A Real World Study

[Swamp Donkey]

Lol, of course nobody is going to walk around hunting or in a survival situation with the rifle broken down in the bag.

You know what else is handy? 10/22 Charger pistol

If I had any real accuracy with a handgun for hunting I might consider one of these for a survival weapon... 45Colt, 454 Casull, 9mm, 38Special and 410 shotgun shells....not to mention it has a name that is unmatched in coolness

 

[Swamp Donkey]

lol .. i cant even tell if that is meant to be slightly serious.

Firing 22 out of a 45 barrell...... That is like a night w t's mom.

Such a goofy gun. 410 out of a rifled barrel? Donut pattern with a round that is already known for having too little shot in the pattern. 45/454 revolver? you can have one for half the weight.

Just a joke of a gun.

At some point, boss, you and I will spend some time on a range. You can shoot a handgun w reasonable acccuracy.

I just asked my old lady if she would refer to my pistol as "The Raging Judge Magnum" ....she ask what type of videos I've been watching today...

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Tell her to hold it with both hands.

Seems the most import part of constructing any rifle that breaks down is to make sure the sights are both part of the barrel assembly. Any weapon that separates the sights from the barrel during disassembly is just asking for accuracy issues IMO.

The factory iron sights are on the barrel of a 10/22. But these old eyes don't like them much.

AR7, I think , the rear sight is on the frame.

Correct... for AR-7, rear is on receiver, front post on barrel.

As for Zambo’s statement you quoted, while a good rule of thumb, not true if barrel is witnessed to receiver. With these, there’s a little bit of loss. With my SRS, I can swap bolts and barrels in under 90 seconds with no loss of zero, none, due to witness lug, but I paid for that quality.

And yet no one thinks "Raging Judge Magnum" is a manly name...I need to go to a real preppers forum.

If you can convinced, cool. Hell have her call it Excalibur if you want.

The problem is women seem to see size a little different than most dudes.

Just saw this in a magazine today, no personal knowledge of the round, but Aguila is a good manufacturer and this might be a solution for reducing recoil while doubling capacity in your EXISTING tube (no silly drum magazine or even super long extension tube)... it's for PUMP ONLY.

PS I do have experience with Aguila's subsonic 22 ammunition and like it.

I do have limited experience with them. they won't feed well out of most shotguns. for most guns you have to modify the lifter. I think the old Winchester 1200 is the exception.

makes sense... thus the "gimmicks = bad" general rule ;)

Fear & Loading: Aguila Minishell Buckshot Load

Id have to be convinced. Apparently there is a contraption to help them feed.

We tested them in an unaltered 870. It was definitely a no-go.

The things really measure about 1.3-1.4ish. I wonder if perhaps even a 1.75-2" shell would be nice. You'd still get more in the tube (maybe 7 or 8 instead of 5) and less trouble loading.

Some interesting stuff here. The spread stays only a few inches apart at maximum home defense range….

I had a girlfriend who used to call me a double mega ball.

I dont think anything will be more than 2" apart at max home defense range unless your home is the size of a Foley IPF.

Wow, was wondering about the low velocity,1050fps, but damned 2.25oz of lead at 10-15 feet would have to be pretty devastating. I think most of the shots in the video were from 10-15 yards...

 

[Swamp Donkey]

I'd just stick to tried and true. In a house, OO buck penetrates a little too much IMO. I'd go smaller like 4 buckshot (this is different than #4 birdshot which is just called #4 most of the time). I might also use BB or #2 birdshot even but that is about as small as I'd go. Bigger means smaller with birdshot.

You don't really need anything exotic in a shotgun, imo.
