037 The Revolver Roundtable

It’s been a while since we had one of our round-table discussions so this week we decides to get together and discuss revolvers, a lot of things but not everything about revolvers. We have a lot of videos demonstrating reloading techniques for the revolver below. Oh, and if you tried to count up how many years of experience with revolvers we have had, that we enumerated on the podcast it come up to at least 245.

017A Homing in on the Defensive Shotgun

It’s our last episode of the year and it is Magnum sized, so big that we had to divide it into two parts so be sure that you get both parts! (A double-barreled podcast, so to speak.) In response to lots of listener feedback and questions we thought that we would discuss the shotgun for home defense. We did a lot of shotgun shooting last week in an LFI class and we did some testing. We compared the use of the 12ga. vs. 20ga. shotgun for home defense with some commonly available and similar loads. Both shotguns were fired at a distance of seven yards from the target.

The first Picture is from a 20ga. shotgun loaded with #3 Buckshot:

Second picture is from a 12 ga. Shotgun loaded with #4 Buckshot:

The subject of the Taurus Judge came up in our discussion of the .410 load. This picture was also posted on the forum but it bears repeating here:

This pattern was fired at five feet from the Judge with a 2 ½” .410 birdshot cartridge. Taurus Judge caught at the instant of discharge. Round is 2 ½” .410.

013 The “Snubby” Revolver

The ProArms team tries something different for this episode. Normally our producer (me) spends a lot of time editing each podcast, taking out the umms, ahhhs, creaks and any bad words that might occur. This time we are presenting it to you in all its unedited glory. Don’t worry; it still has a PG rating. Sometimes we talk at the same time and interrupt each other. Here you will see what one of our recording sessions really sounds like. Go on over to the Gun Rights Radio forum to let us know if you like this episode; just click the box in the upper left hand side of this page to get there. We talked about so much in this podcast all the links are listed below along with a couple of gun specific fora that may be of interest to aficionados of a particular brand.
