RangerM9 1 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Gents....and any ladies who happen to be in da house.... i'm itching for a new handgun....one with some pop to it.....i currently have a cz-52, a Steyr M9, a GP-100 .357, and a buckmark .22....these are ll great and joy to shoot.....but i'm itching for a bigger bang....so....do i go .40, .45, 10m, 44mag......thoughts? suggestions? i'm inclined to go .40 or .45 in either a Ruger or Taurus flavor......that 24/7 Pro is looking damn fine in either caliber.....on the other hand...i have shot my wife's uncles 10mm....and damn that is good pain!.....so i'm thinking an EAA witness in 10mm.....so many opitons..... give me your thought my friends.....

getitat 609 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 If you can find a XD 45 ACP you'll never regret it. i have the 4" barrel model, I contacted Springfield and they hinted around about a 3" Sub coming out after the first of the year, but I didn't want pie in the sky, wanted pie NOW!.... I think the XD with a 3" barrel may be the safest CHL carry gun available, due to the multi-safety system it can be carried hot with little concern. My 4" XD shoots much sweeter than either my Glock 36 or my Taurus Millenium Pro .45 ACP's (basically a sawed-off 24-7) Guido2 in Houston Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,186 Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I know there is still that 45-70 Govt. 5 shot Revolver at Gander mountain local to me... I cant imagine you will get much more BANG in your hand than that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MAC_TEK 0 Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) Glad I could assist. I agree With the 45/70 wrist relocation. You have them sent directly to your FFL. Go to: HTTP://WWW.Thunder5.com All the info is on the site. I'm not sure but I think they are made to order? MAC_TEK Edited October 9, 2006 by MAC_TEK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

termite 463 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 If you want a GUN, try the 454 Casull. I bought the Taurus raging Bull with 6 1/2" barrel 2 weeks ago, 45LC is a kitty cat, the 454 300 gr is another story, but still fun as hell to shoot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
