I do not know what you are talking about.You spelled "peace" wrong.![]()
No no, you definitely did the right thing!@Jm_ @Nick
Yes maybe if you lose a firearm you don't deserve it back. I don't like semi-auto shotguns though and it was too nice and well cared for to be forgotten. I made sure it wasn't stolen and started poking around for the owner. Turns out it may come back around and grant me access to another section of land I been wanting to cut some trails across... that would be worth returning that thing!
I am going to need it to get the access I am looking for.No no, you definitely did the right thing!
Your karma bank is full.
Not as much as they hate meDo you hate your wrists?
I Definitely dont plan to do any precision shooting with it. Now i need to find someone local that stock ammo for it. Luckily, i have all this week off to search. Hopefully range day this weekend.Wear gloves.
A friend had a .308 deringer, lead was at the top of the barrel, good for nothing, but it was only money.

Atleast i can shoot .410 out of it and hope to hit something that way.You surrendered all hopes of precision shooting when you got a gun with a barrel shorter than the chamber. That thing should have a contact safety like nail guns have.
The other part is muzzle velocity. If you can't build muzzle velocity, which is common with blunt-nose/short-barrel firearms, you aren't gaining penetration energy compared to a smaller caliber with a longer barrel and you are losing accuracy. At those real short barrel lengths, you lose a LOT of the velocity compared to what the "advertised" ammo speed is. 20% is not uncommon. Since KE increases as a function of the square of velocity, you get a lot more bang for the buck with velocity increase vs. a mass increase. Apart from a "belly gun" for point-blank shooting, it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. Being able to shoot multiple "calibers" out of a gun can be nice, but I decided against shooting the .44 specials in mine, even though they are fun to shoot, they just foul the barrel with lead vs. .44 mag.You surrendered all hopes of precision shooting when you got a gun with a barrel shorter than the chamber.

I am not exactly a gun person but I'd say my Browning Buckmark would be more useful for any task, because I can hit my target. Unless your goal is to spend lots of money on ammunition to make loud noises.
You Alaskans have a fairly unique situation.
"Hope" to hit something? Ooofff.Atleast i can shoot .410 out of it and hope to hit something that way.
To be fair, it was never my intention to own a snub nosed revolver, never cared for the look. The only reason i got it was that they dont come up for sale very often and it was a decent price. $365. I was gonna get it for $265 but someone jumped the price 4 times before the auction ended before they gave up and my max was $400."Hope" to hit something? Ooofff.
