[QUOTE="Junior Bonner, post: 2635033, member: 33416"] Gene? I am searching my memory banks...Are you referring to the chicken house snake, the lizard, that wild flowering plant outside, or that dog, Scruffy? You know, 5 acres doesn't sound like much, but you get a pretty good collection of "friends" out here among the plant and animal populations, haha! I'm always inclined to post pics of them, too! I have over the years arrived at a conclusion which is based on target practice involving paper targets at distance and solid objects up close. Also this conclusion is based on news coverage events involving Police shootings. A single handgun may not cover all of the bases. A semi has a distinct advantage in fast reloads, there are no two ways about it. I can't see my self getting into a television styled gunfight, but almost always the adversary will have a semi. To try to engage a threat that is armed with a high capacity semi while defending yourself with a revolver is putting oneself at a distinct disadvantage. Hence the need to carry a semi. But the revolver has an advantage, also. It can shoot really, really big, heavy bullets. If say, I were being robbed, up close and personal, and it was obvious that the assailants were going to shoot me afterward, would I want to shoot with my semi, or my Alaskan? If I shoot with the 9mm, I am certain I will be shot also. Everyone will end up being shot. If I shoot with the Alaskan, loaded with 320 grain hardcast, I believe I have a better chance of a one shot stop, at point blank range. I am skeptical about magic bullets and also of perps standing still long enough to allow for that well aimed head shot. What I carry is a semi for self defense at distance, and a big bore snubbie as a get'em off ya. My semi is a military issue meant for FMJ ball, and that is what it is loaded with. My snubbie is loaded with heavy, very heavy flat nosed hard cast. Although I am fine with stand your ground. I am more of a save my ass man. I am set on getting a 454 Alaskan. Just waiting on the email from Bud's... [/QUOTE]
