A great many lovers of their own life EMS workers pack heat like the barely noticeable small lifesaving S&W Model 32-1 38 caliber revolver with semi jacketed hollow points. Not man stopping power but when the copper jacket separates from the lead cartridge it knifes through the viscera of your local mugger like Hannibal Lecters infamous throat slitting scalpel. Also the revolver leaves no spent cartridges around like pistols in case you have a pressing engagement.

After reading this, it's clear you're more into prose than knowledge.

Just picked up a scandium frame 340pd because who doesn't need an 11 oz .357 magnum.

Those can be a bit... punishing with full-house .357 Magnums. Great choice though!

And bullet buttons. [emoji17]

Bullet buttons won't be legal soon... however there's already a workaround that is, and it's ready before the law takes effect.

@Qulevrius http://www.gunsandammo.com/ammo/handgun-ammo/a-history-of-the-10mm-auto/
Basic: FBI 9mm didn't do anything against bad guys wearing bullet resistant gear. 10mm would have penetrated said gear. FBI says "oh my feeble hands cannot withstand 10mm recoil" 10mm died.

Lighter 10mm load roughly=40 S&W.
Average-> high 10mm load roughly(tends to be a bit higher than) a 357 mag
Average federal ammo, 180 grain 425(about) ft-lb(muzzle energy) and 1030 ft/sec

Ballistic gel will tell the whole story IMO

The idea behind the 10mm was to push a 200gr bullet at 1200 fps. Basically with that you get a .41 Magnum in a semi-auto. The 10mm, as designed, is an excellent round but recoil can be a bit stout. The 10mm FBI load is basically the .40 S&W load now. It's decent, a bit snappy, but controllable. The FBI should have been smarter initially and issued the 10mm to field agents and 9mm to those that aren't primarily field agents OR to those that can't qualify with the 10mm. The FBI wasn't all that smart about it...

I've shot plenty of 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. I have had occasion to shoot full-house 10mm and I didn't mind it much at all. In fact, one day I (inadvertently) showed a fellow shooter that the accuracy problem he had with his G20 wasn't with the gun...

I just don't seem to be that recoil sensitive so I'm probably not the best person to ask about that...

I think it's more about what the gun is used for, rather than anything else. In a realistic self defense scenario, where the engagement range is 0-10 metres and the sights time is non existent, the recoil management with point shooting is paramount. Being able to pull & tap 6-7 rounds without missing a shot = no bystanders are getting hit = mission success. I trained with (and was trained by) some serious dudes, and the 1st thing they drilled into us is that we should assume that any time you miss your target, you hit an innocent. Naturally, I'd take a smaller caliber with better control over a larger one. Besides, when you tap an entire clip centre mass, it really makes no difference. And if it's a bloody gorilla that keeps coming, you just aim lower.

It might be able too. Take it to a local gun store and see if they know anything about it?

Ah shotguns, something up my alley. Get me more pictures of the gun and close up of the numbers and I'll dig around. Seems Winchesterish to me maybe the 1897?

That's what I was thinking.

@NysEms2117 I'd keep that if I were you. Kinda cool owning a piece of history that pre dates 1900 (if that's infact the case).

Then get some more close up pictures. I am pretty sure it is an 1897, but I cant really tell since the first image was at a bit of an off angle.

Love me some gun porn. I'll add to the collection with my Ruger Precision Rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Bipod is GG&G. Scope mount the a JP Rifles one piece. Level is a US Optics. Scope is Bushnell Elite DMR 3.5-21 power, 50mm objective, 34mm main tube with a Horus H59 reticle.

That 3 shot group in the photo was part of a load workup I was doing for the Norma Golden Target 130 grain bullet with Alliant Reloader 17 powder. It was a windy day up at Lytle Creek Firing Line and the distance was 100 yards.

@NysEms2117 keep it, unless you get a really good offer on it.

I think its safe to say that combo you worked up is a keeper. I have some old 30-06 bullets I loaded up to test that I never got around to actually shooting. That was probably pushing two years ago, guess I should get on that.
