I want a 410 derranger...

Had he not been as close of a friend as he was I would have decked him for it, because I find it very offensive to equate a woman's presence to being nothing better than a pretty picture. She just is used to it, I don't care how used to it she is, I will talk to him today now that I have calmed down from it for the most part and if someone who isn't that close does it again, I will either ream them out terribly, which I've done before about other things, or I will hit them, depending on how bad my day has been.
I hate guys who can't be anything more than assholes.


And what pisses me of more about this kid specifically is that a couple weeks ago, he apperently told her that he felt like they were brother and sister because of how close they were and all that bullshit. To which, he's even more of an ass. Because to claim that your like someone's sister and then turn around and the best reason to keep them around is boobs, makes you a hypocritical piece of shit.

Ok, I'll step off my soapbox now.

Mikey wrote:I should clarify point 1 above. It is eminently possible - in fact, probable in the way I read it - that this guy's use of the term "boobies" was an admittedly crude and banal way of saying that she deserved the chair over a male simply by dint of the fact of being female. While his terminology was thoughtless, his intent was chivalrous... something that is too often missing from the world. While it is possible that he meant, "I want her to sit there because I want to ogle her chest or because I want to have sex with her," it doesn't really seem likely.

Mikey wrote:I did notice that Ruger makes the GP-100 in .327 Federal magnum, but I don't really know too much about the round. I just thought a .357 mag revolver would allow the flexibility to shoot .38 special, .38 spl +P, or .357 mag all from the same gun. Using .410 shotshells from a handgun is only marginally useful for defending my property from very small snakes or clearing rats from a barn at ranges of 10 feet or less - neither of which is something I'd be doing - and completely useless for anything else. I had considered a Taurus 65 or 66, but the word is that they tend to lose some cylinder lock-up causing the action to freeze. With three true cylinder locks (instead of using the ejector rod to help lock the cylinder) and no sideplates, the Rugers are built strong enough that you don't have to think twice about a used one.

Mikey wrote:You can get one, you just have to get the double-secret-probation licensing for an "other destructive device" for being a shotty with a barrel <18". Well, not a derringer, but a 4"-bbl. revolver. Why you'd want one is a different question, unless you have a problem with small snakes on your property.

Mikey wrote:I didn't know S&W made a .45 ACP revolver, but I think in any case I'd rather become more familiar with handling revolvers before I start having to screw around with moon clips or other junk. Besides, .38 Sp is probably a bit easier to learn with than .45 ACP.
