I think it was magnum I used both that day. Ports helped more than I imagined

I got to try a colt Kodiak which is a ported from the factory 44 magnum revolver with a 4inch barrel.
I am pleased with it. There are some 357 revolvers I can not shoot due to a pinched nerve that affects my thumb web but the recoil was negligible and the revolver was pleasant to shoot and accurate. Flames shooting out on both sides of the front sight was neat too.

Both are accurate so I’ll compare again and see if one does better as I adjust to the flat trigger.

Now that the calf is moving good he stays in the yard again

I’ve had an Sig M18 with a normal trigger a while. My son fell for one with a flat trigger so I shot one with a red dot which is also new for me. After comparing them both I can’t tell the difference in how they shoot so not sure why they switched to a flat trigger. My accuracy was about the same.
p.s. the red dot is easier with old eyes as many front sights are blurred.

A few years ago my goats were attacked by some dogs so a friend who raises $1,700 goats has a pack of Anatolian shepherd dogs so I bought one. If one of my other dogs poked his nose in the goat pen the shepherd would try to bite it but if he was out he played with the other dogs. He eventually got bored in the goat pen and jumped the fence and lived in the yard.
anytime coyotes are remotely nearby he charges at the pack. No fear. Some of my lab dogs follow but most hide on the porch.
I sold my goats and went to cows and yesterday got my first calf. On his own the shepherd jumped into the fence and sat in his on guard position and watched over the calf nearby but far enough away to not fret the mama and this morning he was back out again.
he has a deep bark so everyone who visits is nervous but he doesn’t attack just watches closely. He doesn’t like to be petted .
as a reward I cooked a pound of deer and took it to him and held the other dogs so he could eat in peace. He usually doesn’t share anyway.

My wife needs that . Where do I find it?

since i still can't get the bullet out of the chamber nor remember how to put the internals back in I guess a gun smith is in order. Yet one more item I had for years that suddenly is broken once a son got a hold of it. A bad round can happen to anyone though

my son was shooting my 1873 rifle as he loves cowboy guns. He was paying attention and noticed a light poof sound when he fired and realized nothing came out. A hollow point round was stuck 2 inches from the end of the barrel. I told him to take it inside near where i keep my tools. He decided to try his hand to fix it. he forced the round back to the receiver but couldn't get it out so he took off the side plate. He took the parts out when I caught him. the lever was locked open . i asked him if taking the plate off helped him access the bullet to which he admitted it didn't. I don't mind he tried as he has to learn but I wish he had waited for me so I could put it back together . I usually keep it together when I take the plate off to clean.
these were factory rounds. surprised it happened.

Some of it might be the switch from a single multi-megaton nuclear warhead to the multiple kiloton nuclear warheads designed to hit multiple targets.
That does make sense like the one Russia sent the other day, 6 warheads instead of a huge one(yes it was conventional this time)
-
When I was a teen I read a book about nuclear war and it showed a map of destruction that showed a fireball damage out to 100 miles possibly further . Then in the army I was tasked with protecting fallout from a NBC attack for our platoon should it happen and was taught the blast radius was substantially large.
now days when I google blast radius it shows maybe 6 miles or so and at most wind damage at 100 miles and fire really small radius.
when did it change?

It’s the person on the right . 🤣

I evidently missed a lot of drama about Danica Patrick but whenever I see her on TV I point out to my wife how they look alike and how when she used to run from me in her car they drove alike.
she usually replies that she wished she looks like Danica but I think they do.

A mare's leg was always one of those "why" things. I guess because Steve McQueen had one on that show. I always wanted to see him load the .45/70 shells off his belt into a '92. I guess I'd rather have one than a derringer in a gunfight.

I figured it'd be a way to help smaller shooters ,plus make a good truck gun
-
That’s what I was thinking, why post videos, even palmetto state armory post videos of a pistol fired from the shoulder. The mare’s leg for a child or woman would be great if legally can be shot from the shoulder
-
I had last heard that you can not shoot a mare’s leg lever action pistol from the shoulder nor any AR pistol etc yet I kept seeing online videos of folks doing that , shooting with the stock or arm brace in the shoulder . What is the latest rule regarding that?

What do you do though if the arteries that have blockages are the small ones and no stent or balloon can work, and too small to bypass?

congratulations. I miss my gas 2500 . very reliable.

Now hybrid f150 was used by some in town to power their house . Also got a glimpse of a EMP as some places still only take cash. Major bank in town Truist closed much longer than a local bank. Keep cash on hand for
emergencies. Get a spare generator as some generac generators burned the oil up and locked up. Also check the oil regularly.
also the city lost water so having a well is a definite plus. Power company reports today that still over 5000 without power 17 days later.

Lots of crews from elsewhere. Overnight they restored another 700 meters they said. It took them a couple of days just to cut thru the trees to the substations and then had to rebuild them from scratch. There is power two houses down because their lines are underground but our line comes from a different road and is all above ground and blocked with trees so we will be a while.
Yes my generator runs off propane .

i know people in Tennessee and North Carolina have it much worse than Georgia but we are at day 11 since the storm and the power company said of the 21,273 meters all of which went out during the storm, they still show 11,456 yet to be reconnected. they have 1,500 broken power poles left that are known but might be as many as 2,500 by the time they are thru. No land line phone still and no internet, except for cell which finally came back but still has slow periods. my generator is nearly empty again. Gas company promises couple of days. We have more injuries since the storm due to houses catching fire when power is restored or due to chain saw accidents removing the countless trees. my road is still blocked on one end with several trees stacked well above my head and several different piles a few feet apart.
