Any other shooters on here?

[DrPop]

Just got back from the range with a friend/patient of mine. He brought his .460 revolver. Oh man - anyone here ever shot one of those? The muzzle blast is something else, and the percussion was raining down white particles from the ceiling tiles down on us! Shooting a .45 afterward feels like a pea shooter in you hand.

never shot one, my 44 mag is the biggest I have shot. it will get your attention. fun to shoot as long as you don't want to go through 50 rounds.

Yep, I shoot regularly, mainly WW2 rifles with iron sights in matches at the local club here.
My favorite is the M1 Garand.
I make my own loads too, it's a fun hobby.
That 460 ? I never shot one but i can imagine it's like the 44 magnum or the
50 cal desert eagle.
Our range out here is hugh on the edge of the desert:

If your ever in the area, let me know.
The range is 1 square mile with hills(small mountains) on the north end.
Even a 1000 yard long range for cross the course stuff like Camp Pendleton has.
Very rare in Communist anti-gun Calif these days huh.

Nice range out there! Being up here in Ventura/Oxnard area, we have to settle for small indoor stuff unless a trip out to Piru is in order. Don't have time for that much though. Anyway, yeah, I like .44 Mag, it's a good round. But this .460 is a whole class above though...here's a pic showing the two rounds side by side. Left is the .44 Mag, right is the .460 S&W.

Yeah that is a big round. Betcha after 2 or 3 shots, you put it down huh.
I know a few guys that have gone hunting with 44 mags.
They tell me at 200 yards is good.
Biggest handgun I have is a WW2 38 revolver now a collectors item.

It has the V stamp on the bottom metal of the grip for Victory WW2.
4 inch barrel that is tight so it don't get used very often.
These were carried by officers in WW2, and used by law enforcement and forestry
up into the 70's at least

I like it! Nice collector's piece for sure. The only hand gun I personally own is a .357 Mag S&W stainless with black rubber grips. Was a college graduation present...that's Alaska style for you.

I used to shoot a lot but I'm down to just 2 pistols now. The gun safe wasn't designed to survive 3000 degrees One neighbor said that when one house was burning it sounded like WW III ... that would have been 400 rounds of .45, 500 rounds of .40, etc etc cooking off

I shot a .357 derringer once ... it was actually a double barrel but I fired only once! Momma may have had an idiot but she didn't have a fool Boy I was in basic with (from TX) had it ... said you only fired that thing in dire emergencies.

I haven't done much shooting since my army days... I prefer the 357 or 44 mag as they do a good job without knocking my head off or blasting my ears...

[shiva]

I shoot a little not a lot. mostly I use one of my 3 9mm or one of my wifes 2 380's or one of 3 22's or the 44 mag. I have thought of getting something different but that means more ammo of different cal. seems that the more different ones the move it costs. I also like shooting my 30 cal and the sks. I also have a 30 cal pistol that I have never shot. need to go do that.
