Yep. Nice little piece. I have a 19 and a 24, which is the long-slide .40. They don't make it anymore.Nice..
But I like Glockenspiel. So
No problem with the little Glock. I just chose the Ruger, as I said, because it's slimmer. 0.88 inch vs. 1.13.

Two Canadian Would-Be Gun Smugglers Busted in Minnesota | Christopher di Armani.com
Note to OTHER potential gun smugglers: When driving down an American highway on your way back to Canada with a truck full of illegal guns, you probably don’t want to get high and break the speed limit. Just sayin...

More specifically, it's a purpose-designed weapon of war, and the most-issued weapon of war in human history.
If the 2nd ammendment was only about hunting rights...somewhere between the declaration of independence and the constitution hearings, the forefathers of America must have change their minds about 'we the people'
Actually, the need for a militia presupposes not having a standing army, but it don't matter.
In the U.S., it don't even matter if you ban future sales of guns, with more guns than people in the country. You'd have to confiscate.
And that WOULD lead to rebellion, not just the Charge of the White Brigade.
Not to mention, it is both semi-automatic and twice as powerful as any 5.56 (like the AR 15) Thanks, Moms, for the laugh.
Gotta love 30.06.
My father and his hunting buddies couldn't figure out why it barely went through the skull of the first deer he shot with his new rifle in the early 60s, till they realized it had gone straight through a 4 inch oak sapling first.

Twice? Four or five times, I'd say. Heck the ball is more'n three times as heavy as a standard 5.56. And a gigantic load of powder pushing it.
The Garand was overpowered, and the U.S. seriously debated going to a .308 (7.62x51). Reason they stuck with the .30.06 (7.62x63) is that the entire ammo industry was already tooled for it.
There was actually a thread of opinion in the U.S. military when I was in that the 5.56x45 was chosen because, in terms of combat effectiveness, it's actually better to f*ck up an enemy soldier than to kill him, because you tie up enemy resources in taking care of him.

Naw, it's because getting the job done right with one round is beyond a lot of you rapid fire/short range type shooters.
Yeah. I was basing power on muzzle energy stats..........which makes the .30-06 something a little over twice as powerful.
And yeah, I heard the 5.56 ability to wound was the reason it was adopted..........but I think a more reasonable explanation is the weight of the ammunition. It weighs one half the weight of a 7.62 x 51 NATO round, so a soldier can carry twice as much ammunition.
A lot of reasons went into the decision, I imagine.
