    Easy. Fulfill of your unrequited and closeted retro hipster steampunk aspirations and get a .30 Newton. And a monocle.

    .41 Special

    If S&W made an L frame snubby in 41 Mag or 41 Special, (Ala 69 Combat Magnum, or 696) I would buy that in a heart beat. There was a S&W M357 Nightguard (ironic, especially because of the naming of the post-war S-Frame 5 screw Pre-M27s were also officially simply S&W 357 Magnum) in 41 mag that is...

    .41 Special

    Here is an example of the mythical 41 Special. HSM 210 Keith Style SWC with Starline Brass Here you can see the lot# Here is a 44 Magnum 240 gr SP, 41 Magnum 180gr Barnes, 44 Special 190 Grain Underwood and 41 Special 210 Gr SWC for comparison. The 41 Special case has a pretty good crimp on...

    .41 Special

    Really? that is interesting. I have had nothing but good luck with HSM stuff, both .44 special, 357 mag and 10mm...I am the same way with Winchester White Box. had several squibs in a row in a box of .40 S&W. Never again. The three-screw blackhawks are such an elegant revolver, especially in 41...

    .41 Special

    lefty, I will get a picture of the box when I get home and post the lot #. The history of the 41 mag as a cartridge is super interesting to me. It ultimately failed its intended use as a LE cartridge, and was honestly 30 years too late. Big bore aficionado Keith's intent was a slower lower...

    .41 Special

    So I am sure you all have heard of the .38 Special, and the .44 Special. But what about the .41 Special?? I picked up one of my grail guns, a S&W Model 58 in .41 Magnum. It is a N frame that looks like a giant Model 10 M&P. Magna grips, 4" barrel, and fixed sights. A true law enforcement relic...

    Hunting rig <15K

    yes it does. Glad you got the diesel. The model suggested in the comments took 91 Octane. I have 3 chevys, 1 is a 6.5 diesel 1 ton pickup, 1 is a 7400 vortec suburban and runs on 87, and the last is a corvette and runs on 93 octane.....same kinda thing. lets stay germane...

    Hunting rig <15K

    bro, I literally said I have a lexus. I did not say that your cars have not been reliable for you. as a matter of fact, I think the LX 470/landcruiser family of vehicles are remarkably reliable and I would like to have one someday. All I said was lexus are supposed to take premium, which is a...

    Hunting rig <15K

    yeah, Like I said...just because you do it, doesn't make it right. pre-detonation is a thing in higher compression motors. And yes, you did have loss in mpg and power, you probably didn't notice bc your PCM fuel trims have been adjusted for years from not using 91 Octane. Physics and chemistry...

    Hunting rig <15K

    I have a 2008 Lexus rx 350. States right on the gas door "use premium unleaded fuel 91 octane or higher" The example offered in the comments was a lexus rx330, which also takes premium 91 octane fuel. If those are late nineties-early 2000s lexus 470s in your picture, then yes, Lexus says to fill...

    Hunting rig <15K

    Guys, all of the Lexus, Audi, Infiniti and Genesis suggestions take Premium/91 Octane fuel. eww gross. Get the Outback. Yeah, eventually you will have to replace the head gaskets on it after about 200K miles, but they are by far the best off-road utility option listed and can get 30mpg on the hwy.

    9mm for deer hunting?

    Paul Harrell killed a deer once with a .25 acp... In all seriousness, if you poke a hole(s) in the vitals, it will leak and eventually die. This is no different than a bow shot deer. Energy in pistols does not kill. The permanent cavity tissue damage leading to blood loss, and lack of...

    New Guy Long Island, NY

    I am incredibly ignorant, so forgive me. What is it like being an avid hunter from Long Island?? What started you in the sport? Do you get a lot of flak from your social circle? I can imagine all the things I take for granted, like sighting in my rifle when I want to where I want, or hanging a...

    Any New ideas for backpacking food/snacks?

    Definitely not the trendy solution, but it works for me. I am a First Strike Ration/ MRE kinda fella. Bunch of flavors, relatively light when field stripped and selectively packed, and shelf stable.

    Fixed Blade Knife for backcountry hunts

    Benchmade Highcountry. If I have to use it as a tool beyond a knife, Gerber LMF. 420HC doesn't keep an edge long, but it easily re sharpens. I can also baton the crap outta that sucka.

    boot break-in process

    Break in process for all my boots is the same. You are gonna need some time on your hands for this method. Last pair I broke in were a pair of McRae Jungle Boots for work. Flex and twist the boot in your hands to stretch them out. Put the boots on with the thickest pair of socks you own. lace...
