    Hogs and goats...free range?

    Ive been growing hogs and goats for about 20 years. If you like the taste of goat meat, they can be very easy to raise and breed. They do escape alot but often stay within 20 yards of the breech. They seem to just want to get 10 feet further. Ive had goats outside the fence for weeks, the rarley...

    Colt Python is Back

    I know this guy is a bit of a blowhard but this opinion seems to solid on this topic. The new Pythons dont need to be "hand fitted" because now there are far better ways to make parts with tighter tolerances negating the need to be hand fitted. Ive also heard that the old Pythons had issues with...

    I was adopted by a couple of very, very Swedish parents. All their relatives had thick Swedish accents.....but they are all dead now. My parents are in their 80s.

    Right now Trump is definitely going to win in 2020. A new war in the sandbox may crush his chances of re-election. Trump isnt that dumb. However, if Iran strikes first, the war will be on.

    Shot for coyote

    Ive shot 2 coyotes in my life. Neither for sport or pelt. One was shot with a 308....put a nice hole through its spine at the base of the neck...he never even flinched. The second one I shot with a 12 gauge slug. Removed everything from his jaw to his eyes. He was dead on impact but did a bit of...

    Again, correct. Two Supreme court judges who see things completely different. One who reads the constitution the way the founders meant it and one who puts his own ideals into a constitutionally protected right. So, the the law is the law. These two judges would not be able to use different...

    Correct, you are arguing yourself at this point. My point is that just because one judge says something doest mean other judges will or that its constitutional or even legal. The only way these restrictions go away is for people to fight them. In order to fight them, people need to suffer the...

    Right, thats exactly what I said. You made it a point to bring up "spirit of the law" which is what judges who do not agree with a law say to show their interpretation of the law or what they themselves believe the writers of the law meant. Its not their job to decide what the writers meant, its...

    This is a very nuanced topic with good. points on both sides. Everyone is caught up on the word "law".

    Ruger is pretty good with their customer support. I would explain your issues to them and have them either fix it right or replace it. Rugers are generally pretty great guns and usually arent ammo sensitive. We have 5 Rugers and have had zero issues for years.

    Well, I dont know if "ignore" is the correct word seeing that several of us mentioned shot placement being the most important thing, but, that wasnt the question.

    Of course mass matters but in slow ass pistol rounds, speed trumps mass in most cases. The OP asked for opinions about 9mm vs 45 acp. There is zero advatage to the 45 acp over the 9mm. The 45 holds less rounds in most cases, the ammo is far more expensive, it has more recoil and there are many...
