The original James Bond carried a 25acp. It was upgraded to a 32acp after it failed and he was wounded. The current version carries a 9mm. I fully agree that those are all "pip squeak" handguns. So is my 38. I don't know of anyone that would want to be shot by any of those.

My Delta Elite shoots "flat points" also. However, using a wide flat point lessens the reliability in any autoloader and further reduces it's penetration over a smaller meplat. Is the 357mag always better than the 10mm? Of course not! However the 10mm doesn't have the penetration potential of...

The main thing I took away from the video was that you will need more rounds of 10mm to stop a large bear because it under penetrates compared to even a mild 357mag. Which is very true. Before the fan boys start howling, I am a 10mm fan in a defensive handgun. On humans,dogs, cougar, and other...

45 Colt and then only in an FA, Ruger Blackhawk, or Redhawk. It can easily be down loaded and,with Ruger-only level loads, it can handle big game under the right circumstances. If you take the African Big Three and hippo out of it, it can handle the rest nicely. Honestly I would choose one of...

I mentioned I wanted a proper chambered one like that by Mr. Ross except I want a hunter barrel on it and the comment was deemed "inappropriate". Odd. Mr. Ross, I think you did an excellent job on this one. And I love what you are doing with the BFR, too. Someone will be fortunate to have this...

I see Contenders point and agree that we are ambassadors of a sort. But human nature is to normalize and lose fear in things we see regularly. If the sheeple saw guns on a daily basis, they would lose some of the stigma the "elite" (read as "hopeful tyrants") have created. I see open carry very...

I don't believe open carry should be "allowed". I believe it should be mandated that every adult be required to be armed at every time and in every place outside of the house. To ensure proper firearms proficiency, it should be a weekly course from sixth grade and up (including college) to...

No other markings other than the importers lazer engraving. Hoschton,GA curved over the GDM in a rectangular box marking they used.

A couple of years ago Buds Guns had some of the Aussie cop guns on the cheap. I think it was $300 for this one. I'm out of the country right now but once I am back, I will post some pics of the markings. It really shoots despite the fixed sights.

I've got an Australian police trade in Service Six that's really rough. I've started scratch and dent removal and clean up. It's a stainless gun that has been carried enough to wear the muzzle. Cop guns are always pretty rough. It will also need a new taller front sight and fresh springs. The...

I went straight in. You still have had your basic and OTS and all. You will also have spent some summer quarters as a Cadet with the service you are entering. I spent mine at reception and basic training units, mostly Ft. Dix,NJ. ROTC grads have much more experience than people would think

I remember one ranger in Somalia who threw two grenades,one after the other, with the pins still in them. He wasn't happy when we made him go get them back.

You've never really had an exciting ride in a helicopter until you start hearing a "plinking" sound right before the gunner opens up with a minigun.

Ask Ronnie Wells. He may put you on his list. He is mostly a Ruger guy.
