Some of those Turkish shotguns were nice and the Canik pistols are ok for the money. I haven't shot any of that Turkish ammo though. Just going by what I hear.

Huntster Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Greek surplus 30-06 ball was the last foreign lot I bought. It shoots great. NATO specs. It's not for hunting or bench competition, but for SHTF stock, it will shine like the North Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably intend Ed Abbey's definition of patriot, which is the one I subscribe to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read "The Monkey Wrench Gang" somewhere back in the mid to late 70's. The story spoke to me. People thought I was nuts back then.....some still do, I'm pleased to say. The basic tenet throughout his writings has been the chief inspiration driving my Bigfoot research and the books I endeavor to write. He's been one of the reasons that being able to express my thoughts through writing has been so personally rewarding. Edward Abbey motivates the proper respect for the wild, natural conservation in general, our planet and ultimately, ourselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened upon Desert Solitaire a few weeks before heading out on a solo trek through the Grand Canyon in my early 20s, seemed suiting. Gobbled up a good bit of his stuff, MWG/HL included. That river in Brazil has a good, recent documentary on him too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIB Posted October 20, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2020 ^^^^ You noticed that, too? So the first way "not to get eaten by a bear" starts with pulling the hammer back. Second is probably to choose something bigger than a .45 ACP. Better than a stick, mostly, but a long ways from ideal ... a long ways from adequate.

wiiawiwb Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 These is no way I would trust my life being near any bear, much less a brown bear, with a 10mm. I have one, a G40 MOS, but it does not have the firepower of a large-bore revolver. I've heard the argument that you could empty a 10mm magazine and that would compensate when compared to a 6-round revolver. Maybe, but if you get surprised, and can only get one or two shots off, I want them to be a 44 magnum or more. Here is what a 10mm does to ballistic gel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Q6bEMJHpY This is what a 454 Casull (I have a Ruger Toklat) does to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czsd-v5sm3s The devastation the energy/shock waves of the 454 Casull does to the cardiovascular system is palpable.

I think the idea is that hits are better than misses. So if you can hit under duress with a .454? Kudos. If you can’t? Yer gonna have to go get something smaller and more manageable. Pistols don’t give me any warm and fuzzies. I would prefer a rifle in my hands in an encounter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
