The gun culture... culture of violence thread reminded me I haven't shown you pics of my beautiful model 36 snubbie with it's new grips. They are one of those ones on eBay where they are only about $40 and free shipping from Thailand. Well,they arrived nine days later, perfect fit and I believe look great.

That's sweet Bill. Good for you.
|
Thanks Peter. I'm more used to shooting .38 Special through a big N frame S&W, and tended to think of them as pop gun loads. So when I first fired this tiny thing I got quite a surprise :eek: . Big recoil and large bang. It felt more like shooting a hot 9mm not having much weight to it.

300blk?
|
5.56....300blk is still to scarce for my taste
Accuracy is fine (I can hit man size at 250yds). Noveske barrel, PSA rceivers, SMI cerakote bcg, troy mrf-c rail, h2 buffer |
I have a shorty (7.5") 5.56 too. It's a fun range toy. Accuracy is not the problem - terminal performance of a bullet traveling well under its designed velocity is.
Not to mention the insane muzzle blast. .300BLK is quite available if you're willing to buy over the IntarWebz: GunBot 300blackout rifle ammo |
Mine is 7.5 as well. 55gr loses a good bit of its punch but 62gr ap and 75gr bthp both seem to hit pretty hard.
The noveske kx3/5 do incredible things for muzzle blast, one is definitely my next purchase |
Ah, the flaming pig. :D
Careful if you ever choose to suppress your 7.5" - I have a buddy that blew up a can because it wasn't "rated" for barrels under 9". He has bad luck with cans in general though. My next shorty will definitely be a .300 BLK. After quite a bit of research I'm sold on the round - velocity loss from a 16" barrel vs a 9" barrel is almost negligible. |
Yeah, 300 really does seem to favor the short barrel. IF it ever becomes a bit more common, I'll probably end up with a 8.2" 300 from noveske.
Yeah, a suppressor is probably in the works, though I'll probably do a .30 suppressor with an adaptor to keep my options open. There are a couple out there rated to 7.5" |
Also keep in mind that if you reload, converting 5.56 brass to .300BLK is pretty easy.
|
If I reloaded, I'd already be shooting 300!
But, when I can get cheap practice ammo for .22/rd in .223, it's pretty hard to talk myself into tripling that cost for practice ammo... |
I see you're a chicken like me. :D Actually I've had to start reloading for .45-70. Just can't get the load my rifle likes from a commercial maker. I only do a single stage press, though. Low output but little chance for screwups that way.

SWEET! I love 1911's! It's about time for me to rescue one from a pawn shop and rebuild it again.
|
Yeah, I have a major 1911 problem. I should probably photograph all of them, but I've gotten lazy.
|
The closest I have right now is my P938.
It's an awesome carry weapon, but I miss having a 1911. Plus, you can get decent capacity mags for a 1911. |
Nice 1911's! I also love them but currently only have one and it's just an old 1911.
