Are you referring to the spring tension when reloading?
I've been pocket carrying my Ruger LCR chambered in .327 Federal Magnum - loaded with spicy Hornady .32 H&R Magnum 80gr FTX Critical Defense.
(Image removed from quote.)I've been pocket carrying my Ruger LCR chambered in .327 Federal Magnum - loaded with spicy Hornady .32 H&R Magnum 80gr FTX Critical Defense. It has ~.38 ballistics, with 1 more round than a J-frame and (IMO) slightly lighter recoil. The OEM Hogue Tamer grip is spongy and really soaks up the snap.
I’d love to get one of the .22LR versions.
Episode 1: New England Survivor Rifle in .223 Remington.This is probably my favourite rifle in my small collection. It is a single shot break action rifle that I bought used at the local gun shop because I wanted an AR style rifle that shot .233 Remington ammunition, but could not justify the high price here in Canada for one, let alone not liking that the largish mags would have to be pinned to 5 rounds max. I just cannot abide a large mag just for show. Not sure why that bothers me, but it does. I ended up with this neat rifle instead. This stainless bull barrel rifle does come with some neat features. For instance, the butt stock is hollow and can hold a survival kit or extra ammunition. The fore-grip also comes off with hidden storage under the barrel. Unknown to me, I had bought the Survivor model which is a neat concept. The whole rifle comes apart in half for easy backpacking or storage if needed. The rifle is a break action single shot affair. When I got the rifle, it needed a bit of oil as the ejector was stuck. With a bit of cleaning the rifle will now toss an empty casing 20 feet backwards.I have added a few extras such as a sling, a bipod, a 4x16 Barska scope, a butt stock ammo sock, and a hammer extension. Here are a few links to more info:http://www.chuckhawks.com/nef_rifles.htmhttp://www.hr1871.com/Firearms/ShotgunsAndRifles/survivor.aspPros: - Simple action- Strong ejector- Breaks into 3 pieces for backpacking- Survivor model has extra storage- tack driver, and bull barrel makes this a great range gun- .233 Remington ammunition is somewhat cheap and plentiful- Low recoilCons:- single shot only- shoulder stock is not cushioned (not that it is needed with the light recoil .233 Remington ammunition)- with scope installed, hammer is hard to reach, requiring a side extension- Will not use Nato 5.56mm ammunitionOverall:This makes a perfect varmint rifle, or range gun. When I first bought it, it had a 3x9 Scopechief scope and I couldn't see my hits. With the more powerful scope, I can eliminate my range telescope as part of my range setup. The simple action is fantastic for first time rifle users, as it is easy to work. Under a hunting situation, the single shot will force you to make every shot count; which can be a good or bad thing depending on how you want to look at it. I have found this rifle to be easy and quick to reload. I just like the weight, feel and function of this rifle.
Still my favorite to this day.
I'm pretty sure in a SHTF situation, Grant will be knocking on my door. I may or may not have, what media would call an arsenal. Been shooting airguns and guns since I was a kid. I'm a competition pistol shooter. Though without saying much, had to slow down. Am looking at getting a quality PCP airgun. Maybe a FX or an AF condor/talon.
I do like an FX but haven't tried a AF Condor. If you can find one to try out do look at the Weihrauch WH100. Borrowed my friend's one and, genuinely, put a whole magazine through a single hole at 35 yards. That was from a bench I hasten to add, and he'd done all the work-up with pellet testing, but it wasn't a challenge.
