My new .357. - 06-15-03

I have acquired a new .357 magnum Taurus. With both rounds for target practice and 158 grain jacketed hollow point . . .
I got it strickly for target practice and self-defence. However I still feel uncertain about it. I thought this would be as good a place as any to discuss feelings on firearms.

Guns are badass. But real men use their fists

I dunno. I just couldn't see myself pulling a gun on anybody before I'd tear them to pieces with my bare hands, even if they had a gun pointed at my face. I get really stubborn and animalistic with stuff like that.


Now that the wind called my name,
And my star had faded now hardly a glimpse up in the empty space,
And the wise One-Eyed Great Father,
In the sky stilled my flame.

For the ones who stood me near,
And you few who were me dear,
I ask of thee to have no doubts and no fears.

For when the great clouds fill the air,
And the thunder roars from O, so far away up in the sky,
Then for sure you will know that I have reached the joyous halls up high.

Who's the real winner in such a situation? The guy who had to use a steel trigger to fight his battle for him, or the guy who gouged the eye of death?

The guy standing over the warm corpse is a real loser I guess as the guy lying dead laughs knowing how he won such a moral victory....

Too big and cumbersome


Go with a BF8000 instead, pretty handy things...

Typical. The man standing will, too, eventually die. It is an inevitable fact. But he will die an unredeemable coward. The wounded man fell as a brave warrior, without falter as death came for him.

But, think what you will. A thousand years past, at the maximum, noone would even remember or care who killed whom.


Now that the wind called my name,
And my star had faded now hardly a glimpse up in the empty space,
And the wise One-Eyed Great Father,
In the sky stilled my flame.

For the ones who stood me near,
And you few who were me dear,
I ask of thee to have no doubts and no fears.

For when the great clouds fill the air,
And the thunder roars from O, so far away up in the sky,
Then for sure you will know that I have reached the joyous halls up high.

Why are you uncertain about it? You bought it for clear reasons so you must be prepared enough to use it.


Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

Fell a brave warrior??? I just thought he was a dipshit for not realising that you don't fuck with someone brandishing a gun...

I've done Martial arts most my life and work with some of the highest ranked Masters in the Country and they all say the same thing, someone has a gun, run!!!

Anyone who thinks they can Hong Kong Fuey their way out is very silly indeed, the movies are to blame I guess...

I'm not going to bother trying to explain it further.

I honestly pity you.

For one, this conversation has been entirely one sided and I've been giving you slack and letting you assume how a scenario pans. For two.. I'm not going to RP a freaking brawl over the internet on a messageboard.

For a supposed practicioner of martial arts, you sure haven't got much of a clue as to the capabilities of a warrior when faced with a life-threatening conflict.. and for the whiny, would-be suicidal image you convey, you sure seem to cling to the idea of living as long as possible (even through pathetic means and solving your problems like a pussy).

I hope that one day you find the honor that you've apparently lost.

JobeX and Lunatic are both right...the person that would win would be the person with faster reflexes if the gun is at point blank range. It would come down to if the person can knock the gun aside before the trigger can be pulled.
