      I bought one for my stepfather who was in Nam, since I thought he shot left handed and has a bullet wound on his left shoulder. Finds out he shoots RIGHT HANDED since I guess the military forced that back then. Then when he was in, he didn't even go shooting.

I prefer the .460, because of the different rounds it shoots, and the availability of ammunition in tight markets. Beautiful weapons made by a great manufacturer.

      Gun channels are like craft beers; there are too many of them out there, and only a handful of good ones. Therefore, people waste too much time watching junk instead of concentrating on good channels like this one. Hickok45 is actually fortunate to have two and a half million subscribers. Chris Baker (Lucky Gunner Ammo) has only a little over sixty thousand, and his videos are superb. If you haven't already, please subscribe.

      @Christopher Marlowe Residents may carry concealed or open, loaded weapons in Wyoming except for a very few places.
      However, we use good judgement as well.
      Even though you can legally carry your AR-15 down main street, anywhere in Wyoming, only dicks do that.
      Most seem to conceal carry pistols and revolvers.
      And I only know that because a few here have told me.
      It is low key unless you are in the hills, or during hunting season.
      Medicine for 2 legged pests is kept in a pocket, waistband, chest holster, under a counter, or in a glovebox.
      You won't see it.

    • @Iceaxehikes
      @Iceaxehikes 4 роки тому +1

      @Christopher Marlowe here is the logic;
      The bad guy has the drop on you; always.
      His turn first.
      If you are a ding dong with the AR on a 2 point sling; you get the bullet or get robbed first.
      Now; if you are carrying concealed; Smith and Wesson 640 .357 inside waistband, or a Glock 19 or a Ruger LCP.
      He doesn't know what you got or where you got it.
      You wait your turn.
      But at least you get a turn.
      In a state with Constitutional Carry like Wyoming, everyone can and may carry open.. but very few do you will find.
      Better to have an ace in the hole than lay all your cards on the table up front.

    • @jckeltz
      @jckeltz 7 років тому +4

      That may be, but there's nothing I need a 700grn bullet for. The 540grn Garret will take anything that your mentioned 700grn will. A large critter won't think "Hey, I was just smoked by a 500 S&W....sure glad he didn't use a 45-70 on me"......& via-a-versus. If you want to throw a minimum of $2500 out for one of these, go for it. I've owned my 1895 for decades & I'd rather use that $2500 on other things. The 500 doesn't do anything the 45-70 can already do. It only has more energy on paper. Animals don't care about what's on paper. There are many an Elephant that have been dispatched with a heavy 45-70 & there's nothing that walks the earth larger than that.
