Oh... My 45-70 is not a pistol! It's a big, honkin', antique buffalo
rifle. When I shoot it, I put the stock against a tree so I don't
dislocate my shoulder! They do make handguns that will take these
cartridges, but holy cow, you'd need to be very careful of your
stance, and tape up your wrists!

Wussie. I've shot max loads in a 3" barreled Model 27 Smith, .44 mag. And
I didn't tape my wrists. Couldn't keep the gun from rising up in my grip,
but it wasn't painful.

45-70 is a black powder cartridge, not made for high internal pressures, so
it can't be loaded up like a .44mag. Not to mention that the antique guns
made for the cartridge wouldn't tolerate those sorts of high pressures. Big
slug, but slow and with the trajectory of a bowling ball dropped off the
roof.

Neither was particularly big, imposing, or agressive.

Well sure, that was fine for the kind of bars you frequented

Max, you are an idiot, in addition to not knowing anything about guns. I use 500
grain cartridges, and everybody who actually knows anything about guns knows
that the 45-70 rifle has an effective range of 2 miles or better.

his drink. I thought he was going to plant Kenny with one hand. Instead, he
punched his buddy's arm and said let's get out of here, then left. I think
it was all attitude that did it. In any case, it was impressive.

Umm, no. Why would anybody with a lick of sense believe a pathological
liar?

I've known a couple of people who were real live ass-kickers,
including a few lady karate instructors. None of them felt the need to
brag. I have also been friends with a few real Navy SEALS, all of whom
were of average size (but if you looked close, you saw the whipcord
physique) and tended to like trouble occasionally.... but still didn't
brag about how bad-ass they were.

Whether it's money, sex, sailing skill, or pretty much anything else,
the louder the brag the less the reality.

Yeah, I bet.

In fact, you've almost certainly never owned or shot one. The barrels
are very heavy, the muzzle velocity is relatively low, and the recoil
not bad.

Two words: muzzle brake

Now that has an air of credibility. There is a difference between
muzzle rise & wrist-tape-necessitating recoil. People with no
experience with fire arms tend to exaggerate. Besides, how the heck
are you going to get a good sight picture with the shoulder stock
against a tree?

It's a little better than that. IIRC the drop was about a foot at 100
yards. It's why those old-timey rifles had fold-up rear sights like a
tall letter "H".

If you load it up for max velocity, you also get a very impressive
muzzle flash. Have to be careful to not set the woods on fire.
