What "severe restrictions?"
Background checks? Max magazine size?
How's that going? I haven't kept up.
"Severe restrictions" is like Romney saying he's a "severe
Conservative".

Try to pay attention to the threads you start. This is all about an
existing law in New Jersey and a proposed federal law that would make
virtually every handgun in America illegal.
It sounds pretty severe to me.

Speaking of handguns...

I got a box of "real deal" .357 mag rounds (as opposed to the somewhat
lighter Blazer aluminum case .357 rounds I had), and shot 18 of them.
Got 11 of 'em within the circle at 50 yards, and got close enough
to the
center to scare it. The other seven probably are still in low earth
orbit (that's just a joke, morons...)

Wonderful sounds, even wearing earplugs *and* muffs. Recoil and muzzle
flip not too bad, thanks to the avoirdupois of the revolver, I
suppose,
and the "rubber" grips. I wouldn't want to shoot this piece with wood
grips. Well, not often.

The S&W 627 I had (5" barrel) had wood grips. My wife shot a whole
box
of brass .357 magnum rounds through it. She didn't complain. Actually,
she liked it. It was the first time in her life that she ever
held or
fired a handgun. She started out with my Ruger SR22 thinking that's
all
she'd be interested in because she never liked even holding a handgun.
Next she tried the 38 Special and then the Walther 380. When it came
time to try to 627 she was all over it. Expensive tastes.

Haven't tried wood grips. My .357 came with Hogue rubber grips, and I
bought the Hogue "Tamer" grips which look pretty much the same but have
a chunk of blue rubber going down the backside of the grip on the
inside. It definitely absorbs more of the recoil.

I never felt that the recoil was that bad on the 627. It's a heavy gun.

Krause is backpedaling. Narcissistic overload!
