I have a few - a nice samurai one next to my bed and for display a fairly huge kopis - based on the one from the Alexander movie - a brass lion's head for a pommel - really to heavy and huge for actual use - unless you're WWF-sized - which I'm not.

I just enjoy shooting. The 44 mag is really not something that you want to use for home protection. It's big, heavy, and shoots through most everything.<br /><br />I also have a longbow and shoot wood shaft arrows.PsychosisPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201339994030225109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-81434202684158109492011-08-30T06:22:41.985-07:002011-08-30T06:22:41.985-07:00Thanks for the compliments, Gentlemen.

Pretty fail safe operation.<br /><br />Christopher: Funny thing is, the wife is the one who brought up the subject - only about a week or so ago - and she's very cautious and safety-minded. And me, being somewhat OC disordered, sprang into action & voila - pistol!

I would also stay away from the chain.<br /><br />I currently own two, a Ruger .44 Mag revolver hand cannon, and a Tauraus 45 ACP, their version of the 1911 in modern form.<br /><br />I like the Tauraus as it has a deep spur and grip safety in addition to the normal safety. And the grip is not overly huge.PsychosisPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16201339994030225109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-4569718433669711862011-08-30T05:05:23.224-07:002011-08-30T05:05:23.224-07:00Cool!!!Cool!!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-19010380180686385072011-08-30T02:58:27.435-07:002011-08-30T02:58:27.435-07:00Very cool Dean.

Don't use it as it creates excess wear on the barrel, I recommend a modern nylon type with the brushes embedded in it, much better than a rod.Matt Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15733837617404787875noreply@blogger.com
