    I wonder what happened when he showed up for the security check before boarding the boat.

    Really???? Four pages and no one has set this lad straight????

    .357 SIG is entirely different from .357 magnum (the SIG round is a bottleneck, rimless case intended primarily for semi-autos; magnum is a tapered wall, rimmed case intended mostly for revolvers).

    HOWEVER, .357 magnum and .38 special ARE NOT IDENTICAL!!!!!!!!

    For starters, the magnum round has about triple the pressure and is 1/10 inch longer than the special case. That's why you can fire a .38 from a .357 gun, but NOT vice versa.

    You must be wrong. My buddy's uncle's brother in law's nephew told him they're the same, and he would know because he used to be a secret black ops special forces commando sniper before he was retired medically after injuries received on a classified hostage rescue mission in desert storm and had to take that job as a security guard at the mall.

    I always wondered why in the users manual it said to only use the ammo the gun was designed for. I couldn't even imagine using something else. It is more asburd than substituting gear oil for engine oil or diesel for gasoline.

    Good luck finding ammo for that pink mosquito that you bought from Alan.

    No. That's the recommended age of the user. That number on the BULLET is the number of grains of powder it has. There is an equation the smarter people know that tells you what bullet to use based on your age, IQ, number of grains and how far you want to shoot. Geez, I thought everyone knew that.

    Also, corporate was working on a tracking program so that if a firearm they sold was used in a crime, the original person that bought it would not be allowed to buy from them again. So if it was stolen/sold and used later, they consider you a criminal.....
    Shhhh, be vewwy vewwy quiet.
    I'm hunting papers, huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh.
    Burnt gun powder relaxes me....... I like being relaxed.
