“On Thursday, January 18, Senate Bill 20 passed the Indiana state Senate by a vote of 47-2 and will now move to the House,” nraila.org reports. “SB 20 will ensure that rifle hunting with pistol caliber cartridges is protected throughout Indiana. This bill safeguards previously established hunting opportunities that many Hoosiers have enjoyed during past hunting seasons.” So . . .
do you hunt with a pistol caliber firearm? If so, what, where, when and how? If not, why not?
Yes! The whitetail I hunt in Sullivan County NY arent especially big. I hunt with an iron sighted 6” GP-100 and use a .357 factory hunting load
I feel that I can move through the terrain far more adroitly with a holstered handgun than with a rifle or shotty on my back.
This review is appreciated.
People looking for cheap rails Should look no further than Firefield. I have a PSA M4 upper wearing a Firefield carbine length rail that was shipped to my door in FDE for $35.
Every American adult – Preppers, militia, patriots – should own a standard DI AR15, specifically for logistics reasons. If you HATE the rifle(I’m only a recent convert thanks to my extensive M16A2 experience 20 years ago) and therefore don’t want to drop a ton of money, well, one of these PSAs is your best bet. Also makes a good truck rifle at that price. Remember this is a milspec M4orgery, so put a Primary Arms/Holosun optic on it, run 77gr through it, and you have something that will get you through a gunfight or even drop a deer in a pinch. And you can find parts and mags EVERYWHERE.
Baby steps.
The first one is any realization that one can’t count on one’s parents or the government to take care of one under all circumstances. Once that fantasy balloon is popped, other stuff starts to follow.
Looking forward to the posts from SHOT.
$500 is hard to beat.
I myself prefer the savgage msr these days. Better barrel profile, nicer furniture, better gas system. Freefloat mlok handguard if you buy the recon version. A little heavier and a few shekels more, but you absolutely see the quality difference. Especially the 1in8 twist 5r 223wylde barrel. Love it. Government cut pencil barrel? Not for me.
Triggers will be upgraded anyway, same goes for all the internal parts. If you want that ambi or short throw safety or a cool charging handle you buy that, but the more expensive rifles nearly never have the exact thing you wanted.
I have found the msr to be a perfect start for a customisation project. Accurate barrel with fitted boltand a solid forged reciever set. Everything else can be changed – or just left the way it is.
So what’s next from Mossberg? A 464 lever action in our choice of .357, .44, or .45LC? Varying barrel lengths too?
Anyone from Mossberg listening?
????
I’m not a hunter and don’t know very much about it, so I’d defer to others’ experience on this one.
When most people think of a pistol caliber carbines, they’re probably thinking in terms of 9mm, .45acp, and .357 magnum, though PCCs in other calibers are popular, too. So my comment focuses on those three calibers.
Mention was made of .357 and small whitetail deer. Aside from that, it seems that PCCs may be more suited to dispatching pests, than taking true game. Granted, if you’re hungry enough, even pests become game, or you hunt larger game with the gun you have, regardless. Does that sound about right for these calibers?
So another white socialist suddenly discovers he needs a gun to protect himself.
I don’t expect this white socialists to support gun rights for law abiding black people. He and his type have a history of supporting government disarming the civilian population.
I’m sure he supports the Welfare Industrial Complex, and its “gun free zone” public housing projects.
What happened to the P99 shorty?
Looks like a cross between the P99 compact and the HK VP9SK.
It will sell, I imagine.
Great blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring
writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely
overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thanks!
Great write-up, I’m normal visitor of one’s website, maintain up the excellent operate, and It is going
to be a regular visitor for a long time.
If the trigger on this is as good as the PPQ M2, I think my EDC G26 is gonna get replaced . . . .
How about we make it semi auto, slap that box mag on, and cut it down to shockwave size?
The reg in Wyoming on this is “at least .35 in diameter, with a cartridge OAL of 1.5 inches, using an expanding bullet.”
So that would be cartridges such as the .357 Mag, .41 Mag, .44 Mag and .45 Colt (loaded for a modern rifle) to fit this requirement.
I’ve started to notice more people taking 1892 and similar repro’s out into the field for whitetail, mulies, pronghorn, etc. For elk, sheep, goats, bison – I think everyone is going to stick with more conventional big game rifles. There are some hard-core handgun hunters in Wyoming, which is what you’d expect with our having hand-cannon guys like Freedom Arms and John Linebaugh in our state, but many of those hunters left the .44 Mag behind awhile back. Many of the handgun hunters are packing some ferocious handgun loads…
Is that a tourniquet in your pocket or are you glad to see me?
At least one spare (full) magazine is advisable. I carry 2 extra.
Everything from .22 to 44 mag on feral pigs over the years. Shot placement and being close to enough are important.
,44 SuperBlackhawk 10.5 inch barrel, 180-240 gr. Iron sights, Shoulder holster. IMO it’s better then 30-30 within fifty yards
NO , NOOOO. Haven’t you guys learned from the other posts on this?? you have to carry 4 guns, of each different calibers and capacity and color and brand, 5 different knives ( one for 5 sizes of animal), a hatchet, a tire tool and a cable tester.
a good soldier is always prepared!
LOL
What’s it for? A movie prop? I know Winchester made quite a few 1892s for the movie studios with smooth bores. I am not sure why since blanks will shoot out of rifled barrels as well as smooth barrels. Maybe the studios saved a dollar a gun.
Anyway, gun collectors being weird these guns that are often marked with the word “smooth” on them, are desirable to collectors.
To unload a Black Powder firearm. Rifle/shotgun take cap off nipple, take ramrod from gun, thread on a special jag that has a threaded tip and insert the rod to the ball and screw it in. Then pull the ball out. Shot is simply poured or the wad is pulled. The same goes with handguns there is a tool that screws in the ball and pulled.
Moderate all you want this is the method used.
Um- Franklin Armory could not have botched this roll out any worse had they tried. They look like clowns. And unless they have something that’s not already been considered, it’s a failure before it begins. No one is interested in a smooth bore, even for free, if that’s what it is.
The suggestions that the slightly shorter slide makes this gun more maneuverable than the G17, and that the shorter sight radius makes it faster to acquire a sight picture, are painfully stupid, the sort of things that only a Glock loyalist dedicated to the point of irrationality would say.
Well, I’ve heard there is a drop in crime in nearby Baltimore, but that’s offset by the population fleeing the city as fast as they can.
Perhaps to Providence, perchance?

So goverment is the felony murder in this case since they create murder zones
Shotgun and walking stick and we are talking business!
