You know what uses the same bullet with even faster recoil recovery? The .40 S&W! The 10mm is a low powered round to begin with so you're just hoping to penetrate to something a bear can't live without. Will the 10 do that better than the .40? I'm not sure, the difference is probably pretty...

I agree that a light and a knife are the EC things I use the most. I do CCW where appropriate and legal, of course. But in 30+ years of having a permit there's only been a couple of instances where I thought I might need to draw (although I never did) while I use a light or a knife multiples...

Getting stations in AK and starting a youtube channel there doesn't make someone a bear expert. :rofl: I suppose by internet logic I must be a Grizzly expert seeing as I live in SW Montana an hour from Jellystone.;) 10mm certainly goes seem to popular there and I've seen pictures of a few small...

I suppose my 12ga is the largest caliber I own. The largest handgun caliber I own is a .40 cal and the largest rifle I have is .30 cal.

Who needs 7.62 Creed when we have the mighty 7.62 Yahweh! :rofl: ;)

Well, cardboard is notorious for not stopping bullets. :rofl: I suppose the OP poses the hypothetical however he chooses, but in the real world I don't think we can make a blanket assumption that the opponent will be unarmored in a world where ceramic/PE Level IV plates can often be had for a...

Awesome! Downloading now!

I keep an HK VP9 on the nightstand but if something goes bump in the night I plan to reach for the carbine.

I like Sportsman's Warehouse or at least I used to. They changed a lot after getting bought out a year or two ago. In Idaho I really love Black Sheep, here in Montana I like Bob Ward's.

Sometimes I'm a slow learner! :rofl:

Yeah, forgot the 1911 if we're speaking in generalities. I've had so many of them over the years! They never "stick" in my collection but every so often I try one again. For me great range guns but not really useful for the stuff I do with guns aside from plinking.

I spent half my life in Sioux Falls, SD and always liked Scheel's.

I'm just curious how many of you have sold a firearm only to buy back the same model later? If so, how often have you done so? Obviously this could happen because you were experiencing a financial crunch and needed the cash at the time (which happened to me once in my early 20s) or because you...

I have tons of the stuff but don't reliably burn 100 rnds per year. My stash will last til 2150!

Like most folks I've read detailed crime stats, checked the police blotter and spoke with friends relatives in LE in various parts of the country. If you have a better way to find hard numbers I'm all ears! If you have good stats please don't keep us in suspense! :rofl: My suspicion, which I...
