Default I knew a "500" S&W was good for something...

muzzle flip, loud, expensive ammo. We don't have much "grizz" around
here, and if I really needed a revolver for "defense," I think my .357
MAG is more than sufficient.

$3 a pop for ammo? Now *that* is a giggle."




You would need a bloated 'Uncle Sam' pension to afford that ammo.


We're not all retired yet. My income allows me to have nice toys.

I'm not eligible for any pensions yet my 401K will serve me well. This
downturn in the market has been a great buying opportunity for those of
us not drawing from our retirement funds!

So which of the Vanguard ETFs should be getting my $57?

I don't invest in ETF's but now would be a good buy in any if you are
day trading! I like target date mutual funds but I have a blend of
stocks and other mutual funds, too - about 30 different equities. I've
haven't played in commodities but I wish I had an account when oil
dipped into the 30's!

I have the 6-1/2". That looks like the 8.38" There's a substantial
difference in muzzle flip and felt recoil between the two. The 4" is a
handful!

Just watched Tim's video for the first time. I am no expert but I'd say
that's *not* the way to shoot a 500 Magnum. Notice the locked elbows.
(You may have to watch the video two or three times before you
even notice her elbows though).

I didn't notice that since I don't fire *any* guns with locked elbows.
Seems unnatural.

It is a handful!
