Not with my azaleas, vegetables, and etc. they don't. I live in a
rural area and the critters that think they can ravage my little part
of the universe (I've let them have about 80% of my property for their
use) end up next to my mashed potatoes and green beans.

one per round, with a 2" revolver.
I have said for years that the reason is due to 13 round
semi-auto
hand guns.

With a revolver, you only have six - makes you concentrate.
One of my favorite gun technique books suggests taking only 6
rounds to the range, no matter what kind of handgun you're
shooting. Good idea.
All my kids were trained that way. In fact, when my youngest went
to
the Academy in SC, he noticed that the more bullets they were
issues,
the more the used them.

He took his time, minimum shots and did well.

It's the revolver training.

I have a 9mm Glock, but I never carry it unless I'm in the woods.
For
just carrying purposes, it's a .357 mag on a .38 frame.
I wouldn't "carry" a semi without a real safety, either, though I
do like shooting a Glock at the range. Is that a single or double
action .357?
single action hammerless.

Wouldn't want it to get caught on the shirt. :)
Geeez. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a SA hammerless .357 mag. But
there's a lot of pistols I've not seen. If it is hammerless, how do
you cock it?
Oy.

You don't cock it.

Thank you.

Intersting Harry has never seen one. They are pretty common.

As I said, the only SA action revolvers I have handled were
"traditional." The photo on the page you reference there seems to be a
DA ruger.

I think you're losing track of the discussion. You said this:

"Geeez. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a SA hammerless .357 mag. But
there's a lot of pistols I've not seen. If it is hammerless, how do you
cock it?"

OK now? That's what we were responding to. However, to be fair, I ignored
"SA" because it wasn't relevant, compared to "hammerless". Obviously, the
two ideas don't belong together, and "SA" has no relevance to this
discussion.

It did to me. Tom said he carried a single action hammerless revolver.
I was curious how he cocked it. So there!

OK. That's true. Maybe Tom was messing with your head, something that's
never happened before in this NG.

Don't you mean that the other way around? My Highway Patrolman shoots
.38's
but is a .357 magnum frame (and shoots them!).

Nope - just the way I spake it.

I think you need to check again. A .357 will chamber a .38 special, a .38
special CANNOT chamber a .357. The .357 case is quite a bit longer than a
.38.

Yeah, but he said "frame". For certain calibers, including .357, there are
various frame sizes, which is why Smith & Wesson designate as K-frame,
J-frame, etc. There were, in fact, a few .357s build on a light frame. This
doesn't mean a short cylinder. It means other parts of the gun are
lighter-skinnier whatever. This, in turn, is why you'll see discussions
where people say "That hand load's fine for this model .357, but no way you
should load rounds that hot for THAT model .357".

Dogs don't work. My brother had dogs on the golf course he managed. The

swim fast enough to scare the geese.

You got the wrong trainer. The dog isn't supposed to chase them into
the water.

I work with BCs here in and around golf courses and haven't ever had
that problem.

It's all in how the dogs are trained.

The dogs don't 'chase' them into the water, the friggin' geese get smart
quick and fly into the friggin' water as soon as they see the dog!

There must be some stupid friggin' geese up there!

The Glock is supposed to mimic the action of a revolver shooting
double action. They don't have a safety either.
... nor does my KP90, same theory. You are supposed to be carrying
"de-cocked"

Ruger KP90? You like?

Real purty. I sometimes use them but prefer my M5 with ACP's for the

Did I tell you I live in Morton Grove, IL?
They've outlawed bears, cougars and handguns.

So, you keep your Israeli handgun concealed, eh?

Went over my head. I don't know much about guns, although
years ago I subscribed to Guns and was pretty advanced in my dreaming.
But there was this place in Marietta Georgia I stopped
once when I drove to Florida with a buddy. Called the Bulletstop.
Think it was '85, when the Bears played the Dolphins in the superbowl.
Shot clips from an Uzi, and a Thompson. It was fun, but expensive.
I think if I ever felt the need to "protect my family" I'd have a
Remington 12 autoloader to sleep with, and get a big pillow to keep it
under.
