"HA" Story thread... gone to gun thread
The Alaskan is shorter, lighter, and carries better for all around carry. I would not get it for hiking in bear country...Also, being able to shoot .45 colt for practice and expense is nice.

I have a .444 Marlin and .30-06. I love that Marlin. it shoots 5 shots under 1"(as small as .75") at 100 yards from a bench. Not bad for a lever gun. The .30-06 is good too, Just doesn't shoot quite as tight.

"HA" Story thread... gone to gun thread
Its amazing how this thread went from a great story by glwilson about him riding with a HA, to info about the size & make of fire arms we carry or should have in our possession. All the info is good info. I just had to laugh inside when I realized how true the game GOSSIP or TELEPHONE really is, I know how hard it is to stay focused or on track. Not bad mouthing anybody, I am just having a good laugh. By the way is there a way that I can mount a rifle scabbard on my Nomad.

Don't mess up those sleek Nomad lines.....Just sling that rifle across your back and ride! You're right, this post was hijacked to the max. :) I bet Greg is laughing and wondering how we got here too. The rope with the steel ball reminds me of the "What's in your wallet" commercials.

And Im getting ready to go duck hunting, I just went over my Winchester Model 12 and its all set to go. We can't shoot lead anymore, so I use steel shot but don't like doing it, as I think its a lot harder on the gun.

Steel shot was mandated here several years ago. Too many diving birds dieing from lead poisoning according to wildlife studies. It's more expensive and doesn't have the reach that lead does. Very hard on barrels not designed for steel. I wouldn't shoot more than one season in that Model 12. It will eventually throat out the barrel on that collectors item.

Well, if I'm not going to conceal it, I'll stick with my Mossberg 835. Five 3.5" shells of lead, or steel, coming at ya.

Oh... by the way... as I was saying about the HA... oh, never mind... OK... not all that funny, but it does bring up the thought that apparently we need to have a "gun-thread" on KawaNOW!!! ;)

"HA" Story thread... gone to gun thread
Sorry - I'm catching up on this thread. When I married my wife she owned a Kimber Pro Carry II and a Colt AR 15. We use the Kimber for our home defense gun. I use Glock at work everyday and have two of them. I am a HUGE Glock fan, but I will say you need really good fundamentals to shoot them well. They are not for everyone.
Someone mentioned the military going from the Colt to the Beretta. The other part of that decision was the fact that the Beretta was a 9mm. If I'm not mistaken they decided on the lighter load to be a little more "accomadating" to everyone. |
