The example was obviously a female NRA member. I also carry a .45 or a
.44 Mag. The .44 is a little unwieldly though in tight quarters, but I
do like the extra firepower and it is more accurate than my .45. I
imagine the muzzle blast in a cockpit would be truly impressive. You
wouldn't even have to hit the terrorist to put him out of commission.


I had a Ruger .30 carbine revolver with a loose cylinder/barrel gap. The
crack of the report would kill a crow at thirty feet and the side blast from
the cylinder would blow the hats off the guys shooting at the stations to
your left and right.

Back in "The old Days" I attended a turkey shoot at the Ithica Gun
Club (Ithica MI). One gunsmith had built up a revolver based on the
Colt Peacemaker. The only difference which made the thing memorable
was the cartridge. It was chambered for the 45-70. That cylinder was
huge. For that matter so was the revolver. Not that the 45-70 makes a
practical pistol cartridge. Half the powder was still unburned when
it went out the muzzle in a very spectacular fashion. Just think of
the attention on the firing like when you start slipping those huge
cartridges into the cylinder. :-))

Man, talk about thread drift.
