@Rock...Don't you just love 7.62x25TOK? My buddy was bragging about his .40S&W Glock...until I sent a round through both sides of the the old horse wagon that we use as a backstop. I'd never use my CZ as a carry gun...a load that hot would be downright irresponsible to use if you'd ever have to discharge in public.

@Steve...The Garands are nice, yeah...but as I stated before, I'm a bolt-action man for the most part, so I completely understand having a deep admiration for that 1903! I hope to get my hands on one at some point.

@Golden...yeah, that's a piece that MUST be preserved. It's historically important, and you're a lucky man to possess one. It's one of those situations where it's horrifying that something like that exists, but it needs to be preserved.

@CCIP...9mm ammo is hard to come by up there in Canada? For shame! Down here in Middle-of-Nowhere, Indiana 9mm is about $10-$15 per box of fifty rounds (compared to my cartridge of choice, the .357 Magnum which is just shy of $25/box)...hence why my next purchase will probably be a Glock 19 or CZ75.

I was very interested in the Taurus Judge series while I was trying to determine a carry pistol...but I read an article on www.theboxotruth.com (GREAT ballistic performance site) that showed that the standard .410 loads won't penetrate a denim or leather jacket. However, it's probably safe to say that it'd still ruin someone's day if you popped them in the face; it would probably still make a very decent car gun. "No, Mr. Carjacker...you will NOT pull me out of the driver's seat."

I'd have to say that, while my AR is nice, clean, and pretty; the SKS is by far my favorite piece. That thing will eat anything you feed it, I could hit it with a semi, bury it in the mud, and pick it up again and it'd still keep smiling and shooting. Can't ever fault the Ruskies for making solid, dependable, easy-to-maintain weapons.
