Nice setup. How does it handle full power rounds?View attachment 2484761
Went out for a short woods walk with the pup after work this afternoon. People have been seeing cougars around lately, so I figured I’d have bigger teeth and claws!![]()
The pistol handles them very well! All I can say is that it’s not very pleasant for me. It’s not bad with the Specials, but full-house loads are a handful. But, I didn’t buy it to be a range plinker, and if I need to use it to defend myself I probably won’t notice it. I bought it when I was living in Alaska, and just kept it because I like it.Nice setup. How does it handle full power rounds?
I figured on your end it was not pleasant. Like you said, if you had to defend yourself with you would not feel it.The pistol handles them very well!

I was born and raised there, and lived there until I was 40. I guess when you don't know any different, its just "normal". I did a lot of outdoor activities when I lived there, and really enjoyed the short summers! Not a lot of sleeping- you saved that for winter!I figured on your end it was not pleasant.

I bet living in Alaska was great, esptif you enjoy the outdoors. The time of mostly darkness would be the hardest on me.
Sorry for the reason that caused you to move back.I was born and raised there, and lived there until I was 40. I guess when you don't know any different, its just "normal".

Not a lot of sleeping- you saved that for winter!After moving south for over 10 years, I moved back for one year to spend time with my dad before he passed and the winters were more dark and cold than I remembered! Beautiful place, though!
Thank you Rick. You will definitely enjoy it, but after 8 days is over you will probably be planning your next return date! Enjoy!Sorry for the reason that caused you to move back.
I bet it is beautiful. It is a place I want to vacation in. I know 8 days will not scratch the surface or suffice the itch but it will have to do

100% agree, and Case has ruined their shield in the last 20 years with the tiny oval and script CASE that is barely legible on some knives. Barlow’s have that great big bolster just begging for some great brand stamping. OH
Well I agree with that choice, the smaller one carries really well and is up for most tasks, offers a lot of utility from a basic pattern, looks great tooFresh Sodbuster Jr. I had a full size Sodbuster in the past but it was way to big for me to EDC so I got rid of it. I like this one a whole lot more.
