Imagine my 230 Gr. Speer Gold Dot punching a big ass hole through your spleen.
Pansy. Here's one I dug out of the ground behind a picture of rabid ferrets. JC

![]() ![]() You shoot copper clad/copper wash pistol bullets? ( lead bullets with thin copper plating. You can shoot them fast without lead build up in the barrel ) I was stocked up pretty good but my .357 158 grain stash only lasted 10 years. I need to find another brand since C P went out of business. |

Which is why I plan to try many different guns at the rental range.

.45 ACP is for pussies that can't handle a real man's gun and caliber.
BTW, Thunder Ranch was in Tejas but long moved to Oregon. ![]() ![]()

The .45 reminds me of my Armor training at Fort Knox. We had to run along a sprawling rifle range. At the first station, we had to field strip a .45 pistol and then fire it at a target. Then we'd run to the next station which had a .45 caliber Grease Gun. Had to field strip and fire it. The next station was a .50 caliber machine gun, and the last stage was an M48 tank with 90mm gun. What fun. Of course, there were DI's yelling at you the whole time.
I also remember during training, that when I first saw the grease gun, it looked so toy-like and cheap, that it couldn't hurt a rabbit. The instructor placed the metal wire stock against his face and fired the whole clip at a wooden target 25 feet away. The target was demolished, and he didn't have a scratch on his face. |

I keep saying the .357 SIG round is a fantastic caliber. A 357 magnum in a semi auto package. Ballistics show it can penetrate and engine block better than a 9mm, 40 S&W and even the mighty 45 ACP.

I only have a couple things to add:
Breath proper, aim small, and squeeeeeeze. I would rather hit once in 9 MM than miss 3 times in any caliber. But i prefer the 45 for nostalgia. I have had some sweet shooting guns too. S&W 357 King Cobra magnum was one, Had a good shooting 9 mm luger, but is good to be proficient with whatever you carry.
