Cottonland Hunting/Shooting Thread

New S&W shield .40 is dead on. Shot my name in a pumpkin at 40 yards from a lying down position.... On side one handed. Its the perfect weight for reactive firing.

Why?.....Most defensive/reactive targets are not standing, squared up, one eyed closed shots. Ive been doing alot of weird angle, reflexive shooting and this is truly the perfect weight/caliber for my "estimated" situations.

I'll get pics of shot groups next time. I was pleased.

purchased a Ruger .38 special hammerless for @Denmomdeb for Christmas.

Ruger® LCR™ .38 Special Double-Action Revolver | Academy


Got her a Basic Pistola class at Boondocksfta, Llc™ Dba Boondocks Firearms Training Academy™ in Raymond, Ms

Let me know how Boondocks goes. Natalie does not respond well to my militant style of training on hand guns!!
Ive thought about going to them.

Yeah, Chef just got the Trust set up. I'm on the trust so I am about to get a .44 can to do a sub-sonic doe killing machine.

I don't see anything for a 44... probably because it's not usually done.

These two guys that shoot all the silenced stuff I know like the .44 because even subsonic it kills good to 50-60 yards.

Suppressors don't kill the sonic boom so you have to find a heavy enough subsonic round to lay some weight

I can get a full TC Encore Integral barrel for $950

Cliff Cargill is legit and its allegedly a state of the art facility. I haven't been there yet, but shoot with several of their instructors. If Cliff is teaching, it's probably worth the money.

I'd much rather have a thread on than integrally suppressed for a number of reasons.

 

[wngrog]

Yeah that's true for something other than .44 but this thing would be lots more accurate as an Encore barrel don't you think?

Will cost me $950 + fees.

Thoughts? I've not bought yet.

i would think there are 45 acp cans rated to magnum strength, but haven't researched it. But I honestly don't know what options are available for 44 mag, 45/70, and the like

 

[wngrog]

I'm sure you can shoot .44 in a .45 can. I don't see me wanting a .45 can tho. Not a fan of .45

On my 10/22 I did integral and I wish had done can. I see the reason there

Best place to buy bulk .223 or 5.56? Also, what brands or materials to buy / stay away from?

 

[wngrog]

Natchez shooting supply

Get brass not steel.

 

[Bossman]

How bad is it getting when DNP is stocking up?

 

[MEMCruiser]

Thats what I was thinking.

Ha! Been thinking about it for a while, but when I saw that one of Nolen's pigs had ammo'd up, I figured it's time.....

 

[wct49]

In stock ammo, guns, magazines, and reloading supplies

Trying to suppress a 44 magnum is like trying to suppress Dolly Parton's chest... it's not ment to happen

 

[wngrog]

You are not suppressing 44 magnum, you are suppressing a subsonic 300 grain .44 projectile.

Nothing suppresses a sonic boom.

Picked up a new piece at the gun show yesterday.

 

[wngrog]

What is it?

 

[pmccraney]

M & P Shield by S & W. 9MM. Been looking for a smaller 9 for concealed carry for awhile now. It was between this, Glock 43 and Sprinfield XDS. Found a good deal on this one, so went with it. Also, I like the way it fits my hand, especially with the larger clip.
