I have had to educate several people about the 10mm over the years. It is essentially the ballistic equivalent of 357 magnum. That was the original intent when it was designed. However, you generally only get that level of power out of boutique ammo companies or with hand loads. Most standard factory loadings are somewhat underpowered. It is a great cartridge and pretty powerful for an autoloader, but is not nearly the power of many of the revolver cartridges.

I agree with your take on some of today’s ideas concerning self defense and all the wonder guns and calibers out there in semiautomatic form. I’ve been a hand loader for 32 years now and find that if I can’t do what needs doing with a heavy hand load in a 45 Colt, it doesn’t need doing. 335 grain gas checked hard cast LFN sitting atop a full charge of H110 is medicine to cure whatever is troubling you. Hats off to you, Sir. You are a man of higher thinking. Good job. Best of luck to you in the future.

I was shooting a nice 6-inch barreled 44Mag once with a friend. A couple of small women wanted to try it. The next thing you know, both women had shot a box of shells. They loved shooting at the steel plate. 👍

The auto loading crowd always uses the same arguments to justify their lack of thinking skills. Velocity, Energy and Capacity are the arguments they repetitively use. They don't want to discuss the items that make a cartridge effective. Bullet shape, weight and diameter are truly what matters. They always like to throw in the very mysterious and magical sounding "Modern Bullet Technology" and talk about the time they shot some jello and wow what great results they got.

That term "modern" comes up in every argument for little, light, and fast bullets

I lived in Alaska and carried a 12 gage across my back when I was fishing in bear country. As a side arm I carried a 45 1911 with hard cast bullets. Whatever you carry you have to be proficient with it. Do not go out alone in Bear country!

It has always been said a handgun is to fight your way to the rifle you should of had in the first place

Great points. People get so dogmatic about calibers. There is no one "magic bullet". They all have their strengths and limitations. Thanks for the diatribe!

I think YM has been watching Chuke's Outdoor Channel. Chuke lives in Alaska, updates frequently about Bigfoot, and loves 10mm, 44 mag and 454 casull. He tests all his guns in well below zero and gives honest reviews. BUT. What it comes down to, is the who, what, when, where, and how. Use what you want, in your environment, comfortably.

For me the best 'bear cartridge' is to not go into bear country. Do what you want to but if I'm not at the top of the species food chain I don't go there. I've got no problem with the caliber of cartridge anyone wants to carry so long as they can hit what they're aiming at and not hit me 30 feet away from their target. I've got nothing against 9mm or 10mm but I don't carry them. I shoot both well but I tend to shoot my revolvers better so I carry those instead.

I fired five rounds and handed it back, then went back to my .357 Security Six and started hitting the target again.

I agree with you in the situation you've laid out here. One on one... However, where I live, trouble tends to come in packs, the word rhymes with 'bangs'. You can hope after the first one or two fall, the rest would high tail it out of there. But, probably not. Even still, I like a 357 or better for self defense. And I like knowing I am not gonna have to deal with jams, or stuck ejection, or whatever. And, well, I am just a cowboy at heart🤠.

Personally, I carry 10mm (Glock 40) for bear and mountain lion defense in the mountains, and carry 9mm for self-defense in town. I sold my 1911 because I can't hit the broad side of a barn with it. The fault is mine, not the design because John Moses Browning (peace be upon him) was a genius. A coworker bought it and can shoot .45 more accurately than with a 9mm, which is rare in my experience. Moral of the story: to each his own and carry what works for you.

It all comes down to what you are comfortable with, all when used effectively will do the job. This whole thing reminds me of which is greater Ford vs Chevy and some will include Dodge, so do what you do the best that you can do.

As per usual, I agree and spot on. I’d prefer a cannon IF threatened by whatever but I know myself and know it would still be over on the porch. I carry a 38snubby in black bear areas where I run into more than a few but I have it every time. Since I have a new dog that would probably defend me by bringing back a pissy female bear, I bought a bigger snubby! Loading Skeeter’s load. ps-hoping she’ll break-in cuz spinning 5 feels weird and twitchy in this new 69.

A stout 357mag load using a large frame gun with 6in+ barrel will out perform a 10mm all day long. The 10mm does not have the case volume in my opinion. As for your 9mm buddy. Tell him they make 7 and 8 shot 357 magnums. Hope he counts well.

Plowboy I agree with you 100%. Stopped watching YM years ago, too much of an ah for me. I just love revolvers especially in 45 Colt, 41 Magnum and 44 Special. When I shoot a autoloader its 45ACP for me. I also agree with you that if you make the first shot count you don't 17 rounds and if you are facing multiple assailants you need more than just a 9MM.

I appreciate your style.

I've got several semi autos and revolvers and carried both semi autos and revolvers as a police officer. The 10mm is very good outdoors defense caliber and a great choice IF you have thoroughly tested that exact cartridge in that exact gun. You have to be absolutely sure its going to function perfectly when you need it. Personally I don't own a 10mm because I can shoot .45 Super out my G21 w/Storm Lake extended ported barrel and a spring change. I wouldn't think twice about trusting it in the big bear woods but I also like to hedge my bets by also having a revolver. I'm not climbing mountains either so a pistol in holster and a .44 magnum revolver in chest rig would still be plenty manageable. Although since my favorite caliber is .45 Colt, I would want to carry my Bisley Blackhawk. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I'll likely never make it to that part of the country so I'm just daydreaming anyway. As far as Chuke goes, I don't watch any of his Bigfoot stuff. I do watch his other videos and while he does prefer 10mm if you're carrying a semi auto, the gun he says he prefers to carry is a Ruger Redhawk Toklat .454 Casull. I give him a lot of credit for testing a lot of different guns and cartridge combinations. He's not an expert and he often says that in his videos. I enjoy watching him learn new things and showing others along the way. He's definitely out there on the bigfoot stuff but he's also a pretty humble guy which I appreciate. A total opposite of that slime trail leaving Yankee Marshal who I stopped following when he falsely accused Mr. Guns N Gear of stolen valor and then went into that barricaded part of Portland during the riots and declared all the people there were just peaceful people (completely ignoring those same people had rioted, burned, robbed and destroyed a large part of that city not long before his little video walk around).

Agreed, 100%. I didn’t like YM 20yrs ago when he was PlayboyPenguin on TFL.

ALL handgun cartridges are underpowered , ALL! that's just how it is. you want a one shot stop , use a rifle

I think the 10mm is up close to the 357 . With defense type ammo the 357 has more flbs. But i think the bigger bullets makers up for some of it. But the 10 doesn't equal 41 mag much less the 44mag. I like the 45acp. I mean they tried to get close to 45c. A 230 at 900 fps can handle most anything down here. They even work well on hogs up close with good shot placement. I love my 44. But multiple attackers are making me rethink a 5 shot.

I think Jeff Cooper’s Bren 10 lasted two seasons on Miami Vice, prop people complained of functionality problems, I don’t think the pistol lasted much longer this was the start of the hype around 10 mm it was the shiny object for awhile, it’s worked a lot better in other platforms. My main carry is a Colt Commander in .45 ACP, I carried a 1911 in the Marines it served me well. A personal preference though, not the last word in anything. Keep the videos coming, excellent conversation all around.ARP my ass.🤣😎⚓️

45 cap has some powerful variations, you can run 45 super which can be loaded hot like a 10mm, there’s also 460 Rowland, which is a very hot 45acp with a millimeter longer brass so you don’t accidentally chamber it in an unmodified firearm. My favorite is 45 colt or 45 super loaded hot to almost 460 Rowland power. Which makes it close to an average 44 magnum out of a 1911. 45 colt loaded with 40 grains of black is a nice round. For me 9mm has a place as being cheap to shoot and practice with, I have a red dot and slicked up trigger and high capacity magazines and practice with it, and only for that reason I don’t mind carrying it for defense, I still prefer my 1911 commander in 45 because it feels like confidence in my hand and I love the feel of the bone grip. A 1911 commander 4 and 1/4 inch barrel side by side with a Glock 19 they look about the same size. That Glock 19 never made me feel a boost of confidence.

Yep

Bleah, I hate to have to agree with the yankeemarshal. I Can’t stand him. I’ve had two 10mm’s and the both jammed. A Glock and a Dan Wesson. That’s what pushed me into more reliable revolvers. Although I do still want a S&W 610 for the heck of it,,,

One thing I rarely, if ever, hear or see mentioned/covered in videos is the infamous failure to feed/extract/go bang/bad magazine problems common to ALL semi-auto pistols. I much prefer being able to simply pull the trigger to bring up the next chamber of a revolver when the one before it does not go bang. But I can be two faced on the subject of semi-autos. I retired a perfectly serviceable, very accurate 9mm to the gun safe because I simply came to distrust the round, regardless of bullet type or manufacturer, to get the job done when I really, really needed it too. I reverted to my old, all metal, single stack Smith (compact) in .40S&W and usually carry it loaded with 155grn JHPs but have been known to switch to 135grn JHP rounds. I still carry two extra mags, just as I did with 9mm, or 9 Minimal as I like to call it, because if my faithful old .40S&W does "jam" as I'm sure it will eventually, I can just drop that mag, clear the feed ramp/chamber in a big hurry and insert magazine #2. But I am looking at a Charter Arms "Bulldog", in .44 Special, that has been calling out to me since I traded it's twin off back in 1980....For a damn 9 Minimal. If I go with the 21st century version of that little revolver I bet I won't make the mistake of trading it off. Five 250grn LSWCHPs in the wheel and ten in two speed loaders makes for a serious defensive load out. As for YM....Well, I did subscribe to his channel for a while, but no more. And I won't be going back!

Forgotten weapons did a nice explanation of companion cartridges, rifle, SMG pistol and what I took away from his explanation is that if it weren’t for the pistol caliber SMG‘s that the military use. 9 mm wouldn’t even be a thing they carry 9 mm pistols now because they’re better than the 45 is because the SMG use 9mm For the most part, and having the same round available for your pistol and your Long gun has been a thing since the 1870s ie 44wcf rifles and handguns

Plowboy, what I like about you and your content is that you understand real power. You don’t depend on emotions to back up your stance on a subject. You know your beans about what it takes to knockdown a powerful threat. I’ve read about hunters using autos in the back country for protection against the bad woolly buggers but for me I’d start off with a .357 mag then work my way up to a .45colt or a .44mag in bear country. Now I wouldn’t brown or griz hunt with a sidearm because I’m just not that good with one but I would definitely have my Blackhawk on me for backup. Your logic always trumps these idiot Bigfoot hunters!!!😄 You didn’t ramble, just made very good points!! Keep them coming brother! Btw, I just bought an old H&R single shot .44 mag!!! It shoots straight as a string at 50 yards with a 1.5” group iron sights. Not too bad for an old fart like me with aging eyeballs!! Thanks and always great video. 👍

I heartily agree about 10mm and worshiping at the altar of paper energy. I keep trying to reconcile the capacity argument when you’re dealing with something that runs 35 mph. As for Yankee Marshal… his incoherent diatribe in which he called shooters of cast bullets complete morons tells me all I need to know.

YM is a legend in his mind

The main issues that need addressing when enjoying the Great Land are Moose and Bears. Those are handgun worthy opponents up here because you will encounter these close up, like when your enjoying a nice walk through nature and they just happen to cross the path ahead of you and get startled or offended by your presence. The Sasquatch up here are very aware of you - way more than you could ever be of them and they will purposely distance themselves from you. They would require some distance marksmanship skill with an adequate high power rifle caliber IF someone was so inclined to take a shot at a creature that eerily resembles a person. I would never shoot at one because even though my mind understands that no human in a costume would be in the areas where these sightings occur at the times they've occurred, there's always that nagging possibiliity that it is a person cleverly trying to outsmart and hoax you, even say 4 days or 5 days hike back in the most remote and horribly strenuous places to get to where only the trophy mammals of Alaska are supposed to reside. Why would someone who is already 7 foot tall or more pack in cumbersome ghillie suit at near freezing temps when ultra-lite gear and camp pack would be essential especially if you were expecting to haul any meat out with you? But you'll notice the nagging persists. Then you think as they wander off at quarter shoulder away from you, how does one even go about harvesting and processing something so closely related to our species without some Jeffery Dahmer instincts? When you see them these thoughts pervade, and then you realize the short barrel 44 Mag revolver in your chest holster is not going to ever be able to reach that far anyway, say the distance of 2 mountain saddles away from you, or a half dozen power pole distances away on a huge straight neverending utility right of way cut through the wilderness where each set of 80 foot tall poles are set 250 yards apart. This is where they'll let you see them - but make no mistake they know exactly where you are at all times. They don't have to hunt for you. If they ever get close enough to let you smell them, by the time you catch a whiff they have already backed out far enough to just observe your reaction from a safe distance. So the 44 Mag is the ideal side arm for Moose and Bear in AK, moose being the most dangerous, most deadly and most prolific encounters you're apt to have where distances are way too close for comfort. Otherwise enjoy the best the Great Land has to offer and please leave our hairy bipedal friends alone. Thanks.

Great video on the truth...couldn't agree more brother. Take care!

I support your 500 JRH big bore choice. The factory loads from Buffalo Bore in 500 JRH using a 440 grain bullet from 950fps like a Big 45 Colt and at 1350 fps like a 475 Linebaugh big bore loading. Really nice in a carry revolver.

While I'm a fan of both 9mm and 45 acp in the right gun. 1911's, Hi Powers, and even Beretta 92's. They are no longer my carry gun. As far as Bigfoot goes, I've seen one at about 50 feet in my headlights, while on duty.I was armed with a 1911 in .45 Acp at the time, and I guarantee it wouldn't have been big enough to put it down. I don't know if any handgun is. It had to be 800 pounds of spring steel and rawhide. I wouldn't want less than a .30-06 and preferably a 45-70 or some African dangerous game round. Not long after I saw the bigfoot, I was severely injured in the line of duty. What do you do with a crippled up old Cop. My gun collection took a beating. I have two handguns left. A cap and ball Remington and Single Action Army (Italian) in .45 Colt. What can I say, I'm an old Cowboy. I don't shoot the Remington much. The Single Action Army usually rides in a crossdraw holster that I got from Rob Leahy at Simply Rugged Holsters. Around town, I load it with 250 grain Hornaday XTP hollow points. I know it won't take the pressures of a Ruger, so my load in the hills is very vintage. 40 grains of 3f black powder behind a 250 gr hard cast bullet. The black powder lets me get more velocity without stressing the gun. It's not perfect; but it did the job in 1880. I'm down to three rifles two of them are .22's and Dad's old 30-30. The .30-30 will do most anything in a pinch. Sometimes you gotta run with what you brung.

I also get tired of the statements that the 10mm is equivalent to the 41 or 44 mags. At best it is comparable to the 357 mag.

I used to want a 10mm until I started reading more about 45 super and 460 Rowland. Heavier bullets as similar or faster velocities just makes a non standard bullet diameter unnecessary.

I agree. There is a LOT of hype going on in the shooting community. Some of it is completely nonsensical. I kind of look at it this way, its what is PROVEN to get the job done. Bottom line: 45LC has been putting bad men down for over 100 years. Its a known quantity. .357, .45acp, 44 magnum are all known quantities. A lot of these newer cartridges don't have that history. I'd also point out that the wonder bullets a lot of folks tout rely on specialty alloys. After multiple ammo shortages you can't be sure of getting those bullets when the chips are down. So the bottom line is which are you going to bet your ass on, the cartridges that are proven to work or the ones that may work.

I've watched a lot of Yankees videos, but never seen his Sasquatch content. As for 9mm vs .44, bears aren't a thing in Chicago (especially on the gridiron 😅) but a 5 shot L Frame like the Smith 69 or Taurus Tracker (if they ever made one in .44) would be just as carryable as a mid sized 9mm so it's individual choice and training. I favor single stack 9s myself.

My carry is 10mm Short, 380acp, 9mm ....

Subscribed. I'm a fan of 45ACP and 45 Long Colt

Every caliber gets over rated not just the 10 mm, every caliber gets it time in popularity, 10 mm is seeing a lot of new semi autos, having a semi auto like the Glock 20 10 mm is what saved the 10 mm and all large semi auto guns are compared to it for a bench mark of what a good 10 mm is, no one is saying a 10 mm is as powerful as a 44 mag, but you have to admit having 15 and 30 round mags loaded with real 10 mm like the real 750 ft/lbs loads with manageable recoil is a lot of high volume fire power, not to many semi autos 10 mm back in the day that could hold up to the 10 mm, the Glock 20 kept it alive, it has lots of versatility, 4 calibers with out swapping mags or springs, but because the Glock 20 10 mm interest took off the manufactures thought they would make their version of the 10 mm so 10 mm is regaining popularity but that doesn't mean it's over rated, most 10 mm guys like myself never claimed it's like a 44 magnum, and guy who says that is has a cherry picked bias but all calibers you could give examples or how they get their hype, even me and my sig 322 22 lr I can carry with my 5.11 vest and Jean pockets 275 rounds fully loaded magazines, that's a lot of fire power with good shot placement to handle any 2 legged threats, 25 round magazines for it, so 22 lr had lot of hype the last year or so, even the 44 magnum like the dirty harry days being popular any everyone wanted one so 10 mm just happens to be getting popular again but that doesn't mean we are over rating it, us true 10 mm guys know what its capable of aside from exaggeration, 44 mag used to be over rated to so there is a tall tale and exaggeration about every caliber not just the 10 mm, 10 mm not as powerful as 44 mag but that doesn't mean it has nothing to offer, it's a good cartridge

10mm, the 6.5 Crudmore of handgun cartridges.

Yankee seems to try to make controversial opinion vids just to get clicks. He's also one of the silly guntubers like Kentucky Ballistics both of whom kinda wear thin on me real quick. You, Ron Spomer, Hickok 45, Mixup 98, Paul Harrel and others are appreciated.

Love the 45 COLT CARTRIDGE in both my SAA revolver and a little hotter in my Blackhawk, I own a new CZ 75DB 9MM because my GLOCK 19x 9MM just not doing it for me accuracy wise. ordered a CZ75 DB after trying one at my club. I like old school mostly SSA REVOLVERS. HAVE A GLOCK 19X and was having a bad time thinking it was me, put a Timney trigger which did help, but I still believed it was just me. A range person said try this CZ75 compact, WOW! I shot WAY BETTER the first 5 rounds. I asked if it was reworked and he said NO. 25 more rounds and I ordered the CZ, My friend was going through the same with his Glock and shot better with his new SSA so he tried the CZ.. Same better target scoring. we ordered two CZ75s. I will keep GLOCK when riding my Harley for long hauls, only. For what it is worth... Always enjoy your work, But not so much with that Yankee fella, his presentation are too hyper for me, only watched 2 or 3 of his videos in the last 5 years...👍

I saw that video and I think I commented on it. I do like 10mm have it in an 1911 platform and yes there’s a lot of misconceptions about the power of 10mm I know several people who believe it surpasses 44 magnum and they refuse to believe otherwise.

Correct on all counts.

Yankee has so many Revolvers that Id love to Have I watch him for that Mostly. I like 9mm because they make so much of it. I really need to stop playing around and try and get into Reloading. not necessarily because it's Cheaper. Just so I can have a more consistent Supply of Ammo. California doesn't let us have more then 10 Rounds in a Handgun and I think having more Ammo is always better then having less. but being able to do the work that needs to be done with what you have is what's most important.

There are times when more rounds matter...and there are times when horsepower matters. One rarely replaces the other.

I wonder if carpenters have a similar calibre like discussion about hammers? How his hammer or that hammers weight in combination is better when hamming this or that nail into diffrent wood? Just wondering. You are right abot the mind set differance in revolver vs pistols though!

Damn good video. No gun, no shooting but some good sensible opinions on handguns and handgun ammunition.

Weird park rangers in Alaska carry it everyday with hard cast bullits. Over a 44mag revolver or a 357 mag revolver. If any officer in our nation might just need to stop something with a hand gun. Most carry glock in 10mm. Capacity. Ease of opp they probably know. Surethere are leveraction cartridges better suited for animals. But most don't carry a rifle on there hip

I live in Southeast N.M & have killed a mule deer with my Ruger Blackhawk in .45colt & I also carry a S&W 686 .357magnum & I have a S& W 9.MM.Shield ; but when I'm in Alaskan bear country ; I would probably carry my Ruger American .308...in N.M. we have black bears & some Native Americans have allegedly seen a Sasquatch up around Farmington; I think if either a black bear or the alleged Bigfoot were hot on my trail, then either my Ruger .45 or my 686 .357 would be enough with proper shot placement & heavy flat nose bullets would solve my problems. On a personal note, before I retired from the Volunteer Fire department; I was a member of the International Fire Marshal's Association; which is a real organization...so I don't really need any advice from a Yankee with a pretend law man's title! & thanks for your input on the Yankee " Marshal "

I didn’t know yankee marshal was still making videos haha

Had to double check date, that this was not 2006.

I agree with you about YM. He won't review Pietta because it's owned by the same parent company as Uberti. He thinks that means they are the same gun. Nothing could be further from the truth. Seems like he pontificates without any due diligence, like a gun gossip column. That being said I love 9mm because it's cheap and available. I'm even thinking about a Cimarron Pistolero with a nice tight dedicated 9mm barrel just for plinking. It ain't no Bear gun!

I'll shoot anything and everything, but the truth is, shot placement is key and any mechanical thing can break down. If you are sprayin' and prayin' while holding it sideways, "Gangsa style" you wont hit much. The only hand gun I've had that wouldnt run was a wheel gun. every few shots it was impossible to turn the cylinder unless you opened it and closed it again. (Ruger's factory service is fantastic, by the way.)

I've guided hunters on dangerous game in Africa and hunt bear regularly. To stop a charge before getting injured, you must stop it in the first two seconds. While I much prefer a stopping rifle or a shotgun, my handgun for dangerous game territory is a 5-1/2" barrel bfr or custom Redhawk in 500 Linebaugh.

Enjoyed it. I share your opinions

You are exactly right on the 9mm and 10mm. Way over rated. 98% of the factory 10 mm loads are nothing more than a 40 S&W. As to the 9mm , those people who say the advanced bullets bring in into 45 acp range just don’t understand that that same technology is also being used for 45 acp bullets.

And the exact same argument could be made for something even smaller than 9mm. But if it really were all about shot placement then we could follow that same logic right down to .22 or even .17. Just think of the magazine capacity.

@@GR-cf4qh It has more to do with weight and diameter when it comes to killing power in a handgun.

If you're in bear country, camping, working, whatever, you should have, what I would call, an "encounter" gun. You weren't planning on shooting a bear, but the bear had a contrary opinion. In this instance you are encumbered with backpacks, canteens & other equipment. That means you should have a pistol that is easy to carry, quick to access, simple to operate & of robust construction. Blackhawks or similar pistols, in suitable calibers, are just the ticket. They should be considered in the same light as a stout folding knife. You don't carry the knife to cut tent poles, but if you had to, you could. If your specific purpose, is to hunt with a handgun, that is another enterprise best accomplished with different equipment.

I personally know a gentleman but he is gone now. He went bear hunting every year and the only weapon he used was a Ruger super Blackhawk in a 44 magnum. He always got a bear.

I hear ya. I dont usually watch the annoying gun tubers. Doesn't mean they aren't right occasionally. Off topic sorta, but i keep thinking that an m1 carbine chambered in 10mm would be pretty damned cool and about perfect. Perfect for what? Im not quite sure but i am sure id find a use for it.

I have 1 10mm its a ruger super redhawk 6inch barrel. It shoots 40sw and 10mm point of aim. I would tote in bear area my 41 mag ,44mag or 45colt, on my side. But I agree a good ole 12ga slug is hard to beat. I agree he is just that a Yankee. As a side note I talked to my area bigfoot and he likes to carry a 45colt.

I agree to many people watched Miami Vice. People think the 10mm outperforms my 300weatherby, They also think Elvis Presley is still alive. I enjoy the 10mm but C'mon man. I love my 41magnum and 45Colt. 10mm isn't the cats ass. 16 rds of 357magnum power but it isn't all encompassing

I’m with ya on this whole rant..however I do disagree with you on when you said that “inter dimensional beings” or “Sasquatch” or whatever ppl want to call em angels, demons etc.. the reason I disagree is because that vast amount of research in the subject and credible first hand accounts of upstanding productive members of society have had.. also the research in physics and most notably (sound,frequency) studies have profoundly changed the scope of how we view reality in the scientific community.. and to truly be scientific about we must leave everything a theory to remain open to possibilities.. I will also like to leave you with this.. belief and knowledge are two different things, and WE all believe more than we know!! Whatever you believe or don’t believe is your religion, every human on earth has a belief it is inescapable!! P.S. they exist and when I say “they” I’m simply talking about other entities that exist in a different spectrum of frequency and vibration and it seems through all the evidence and research from a multitude of different sources that they can somehow enter our spectrum and so on.. are they apes? Or aliens.. well from what I’ve researched over the years “they” “it” can change how we perceive them.. so they are whatever it is they want to appear to be to us..

I remember several years ago that the world record grizzly was killed by a 14 year old Inuit girl with a 22 Steven's crackshot doesn't mean that it was a good idea

I shot a 45 lc lrn " cowboy load " out of 6inch judge and it went clean through 5.. 2by4 and sheet metal walls of an old barn😂 ... talk about penetration!!!!
