Re: From the old Sixgunner.Com Archives
There are stories of police officers involved in chases shooting their AR-15 through their windshield. That first shot to break through the glass must result in an eardrum-shattering blast but it appears that subsequent shots are fired with the muzzle out through the window. I doubt that this is acc...

Re: 45 Colt, 135 grain bullet
If the result of shooting super high velocity, lightweight bullets like from a .220 Swift or a .264 at game animals frequently results in massive surface wounds but little penetration, then my guess is that similar results would occur shooting a large diameter, lightweight bullet. It wouldn't be sur...

Re: Just one Blackhawk
When I bought my .44 mag and .45 Colt Bisleys years ago they were available only in blue and came only with 7 1/2" barrels. I had gunsmiths shorten the barrels to 5 1/2" and I've been very pleased with them. Having steel grip frames, they are more comfortable to shoot than standard Blackha...

Try a powerful water-based degreaser like Dawn dishwashing soap first. I have often just used brake cleaner for tough tar spots on my truck, flushed with water and then re-applied wax. No harm done.
