Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns An interesting trend

you could not pay me $100 to shoot 2 cylinders through a 329, I would decline to do it. at least with full house 44 mag. I think to most people on paper this is a gun that sounds cool. I used to shoot full house 357 in a scandium j frame, I think the gun was only 11 oz or something like that. That has some pretty intense recoil that most people don't put up with. So its not like I can't handle some recoil. but when its drawing blood on the web of my hand and hurting my finger for several days after, you just gotta cry uncle and say its too much. If I am going to alaska and worried about bears I am getting a glock 20

Thanks MM. good info

Yes, the 329pd is not for forum poofters and girly-men. Maybe your wife instead so she can protect you while you're snarfing twinkies alongside an AK river.

About 4500 rounds now.

I spent some time with a 329PD a few years back and immediately shot a 320 grain load that ran right around 1,300 fps through it and was quite frankly underwhelmed (I had read so many horror stories about the recoil).

Max...what is that saying..."building carpal tunnel one round at a time".....

Yeah, guilty as charged. Hahaha

I've had a hell of a time getting it to consistently shoot well at standard 45 ACP velocities.

I'm going back to the Flathead Jeff Cooper style 225-230 grain bullet, likely from Bear Creek next time.

A boxer and a US Marine are expected to perform manly tasks. LO

Mostpeoples inability to shoot heavy recoiling revolvers accurately and without injury is due to lack of knowledge most times in my experience. IE not knowing the proper muscle tension and not understand a proper grip fit to their hand.

I just loaded some in .45 super, velocity should be 1100 fps-ish.

If they don't shoot, I'll give them to someone I don't like...

Fred is shooting animals with down syndrome.

I do not know how to feel about this.

I have prayed about it. It seems unsporting.

Most animals suffer 'down' syndrome after they're shot.

ROFL

I rarely waste the bandwidth to post this, but it is relevant to forum discussions in general and this thread in particular.

111 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

Light bulbs and their electrical sockets can be VERY dangerous in the hands of the deliberately stupid.

You forgot the guy or guys that would say the lightbulb didn't need to be changed!

But what's the best light bulb for low light conditions?

If one is wanting low light one could run a cord and move the bulb closer to the floor. That is what i have done. The only problem is bumping into the cords and accidentally kicking the bulbs.
Have been thinking about moving the lights back to normal and getting lower watterage bulbs

The dimmest bulb in the string, of which there appears to be no shortage.

A shortage is not good. Could cause a fire, damage the fixture or any numerations of problems
