Traveling and the Law

I found out it isn't valid in one state, and we'll either have to take a chance, or go about 1,500 mil...

Another vote for the Commander or larger. The Officer's model I have is a Para P-12 so it is heavier and easier to hold than the other's I suppose, but is NOT 'fun' to shoot. Not so much recoil as just doesn't feel like a real GUN as far as pointability. Got an aftermarket spring/buffer because I he...

.357 Special Magnum - see the link! Nearly .357 Maximum performance from a case barely longer than .357 Magnum... Interestingly close to the .351 WSL as far as case capacity, but use in a stronger gun would likely explain it's better performance. .357 Special Magnum - http://ammoguide.com/?catid=247...
