So you have your favorite handgun, the latest big, bad, magnum.

Time to put an end to all the arguments and squabbling.

WOW!!! An 88 Magnum! I want one! Would that be twice as bad as a 44 Mag or four times as bad?

Makes my 460 S&W sound kind of puny.

Thanks for the laugh

No Magna-port or muzzle break!

You have to show your "man card" to buy one!

NOT for snow flakes or cup cakes!:bigsmyl2:

This may be out of place here, but in the past I have been offered a pre '64 Remington 700, a S & W Trooper, and a friend said he had seen a 700 Magnum.

I had a guy tell me he was a Huey door gunner in 'Nam, and he used a 60 caliber MG.

I replied, "You mean an M60?"

"Yep, that was it, fired 60 caliber shells!"

I guess there are a lot of rare firearms out there!:bigsmyl2:

To listen to people talk, there are a lot of 40mm handguns out there.

My 500 S&W 15" Encore pistol thumps pretty good with heavy charges of H110 and 440gr boolits.

No magnum's here. I do have a SA 1911 in .45acp which I don't consider a magnum.
Does require a fair supply of intestinal fortitude to shoot it well.

What I shoot the most is .22lr through Ruger Mk III 22/45's.

And I have a 9mm pretty much just to get me to my shotgun. Just in case.
And the shotgun is only 8-9 steps away. Leaning against my chest of drawers behind the bedroom door. On top of the chest is at least 200 rounds of various shotgun ammo. And the shotgun IS loaded. Although the action is partly open.

That to me is what pistols are for. .22's for giggles and snits, and shooting eyeballs out. Bigger stuff to get me to the shotgun. Once I'm there look the heck out.

I would have moved by now if my neighborhood was that bad.

I have some magnums, but I don't have anything like a custom made "88 Magnum!":)

Some of you fella's have some guns that are pretty dang close, the S&W 500's, .454's, and that double barrel 12 gauge derringer!:kidding:......:bigsmyl2:



It's a 50 caliber. I use it to hunt buffaloes, up close. It's only legal in two states, and this ain't one of them!

Couple of good movies brought back up. I guess I'm going to see if I can find them. Just a .44 mag SBH Hunter and a OM 10.5" .357 Blackhawk. Well a couple of magnum rifles, but they don't really belong in this category.

I'm disappointed no one brought up the Magnum Research BFR.

I hunted with a guy that was a 'Nam vet that claimed to carry a 60 cal. I think it may be a generation thing. He ID'd my 308 hunting ammo as the size ammo he carried but I never convinced him that it was not 60 cal.

I was in RVN, and I've herd that 60cal BS more than once. You can bet the 60cal gunner was a
Butcher, baker or candle stick maker. You can bet these guys were never near a M60, if they were
in RVN at all. Beer joints are full of door gunners and SOPS posers. Never new a guy door gunner
or Pig man that didn't know what ammo he was shooting in M60. Aggravates me in a way, I only
had a measly 50cal- 4 of them.202107

Man Quad 50, Saw one years ago at the Hiram Maxim shoot in Maine years ago!! Neat Demo!!!!! 400 rounds lasted about 10 seconds.

That was the downfall for my then 13 year old son. He became an NFA addict at that shoot. It has cost him lot's of money and female relationships but he say's it is way better than **** from a female. Note he is just a farmer but does what he wants.

My buddies kid came over the other day and had a few toys out for show n tell. My Andaconda 44 mag has always been my favorite along with the red dot I can free hand bowling ball pins at a 100 yards all day but the 44 mag Niteguard is a handful. After about three full throttle loads through it my knuckles bleed. I pop can hit pop cans consistently at thirty yards with it and haven't tried any farther. Figured it would make a good close self defence pistol when calling coyotes in AZ and a lion shows or a close counter bear.

Had a brushed chrome mark 19 desert eagle years ago with both 44 and 50 ae bArrels. Shot a deer with the 50 and wasn't impressed so I sold it. I could shoot it accurately off a bench but not free hand. My Andaconda could outshoot it all day long. I've shot a Taurus 454 raging bull and found they are accurate as heck.
