Re: Interesting comparison between the .44 Magnum and .44-40
I think the difference would be more noticeable using expanding jacketed bullets. I agree the 44-40 is under appreciated, but implying it is just as good maybe counter productive.

Re: Happy Birthday...
The cost was a drop in the bucket compared to what 'Crats spent allowing 20,000,000+ across the border. Heck, they even flew them in from other countries. Then they got free everything.
We now have a new, fit not fat, non-woke, non-DEI, non-tranny Army. Well worth the celebration.

My .410 is a NEF single shot full choke.
With high brass #4s it wrecks a 1 gal plastic jug at 30-ish paces. If it was head or torso I doubt the thug would be interested in continuing the match.

Jack, you're surely on the mark about toy guns in the west coast big cities.
A toy gun that's not bright orange or yellow in the hands of a kid will draw a police response in a heartbeat (while real crime is being ignored and the BIPOC thugs are being released after being picked up)

Re: Old cars and trucks in case of an EMP
Living on the edge of Joint Base McChord AFB and Ft Lewis I think that I would be in the middle of a very large priority target. I'm pretty sure I would not survive the first 15 minutes of a coordinated west coast attack.
