That's clean! You make me want to buy more toys. Lol!

If you do get one, I’d recommend the FNH and avoid the Ruger. Just my humble opinion.

Another get the FN over the Ruger. You should qualify for officer pricing if FN still does that. Not sure, it's been years since I bought an FN off their program.

For home defense against bears, it's whatever handgun I have until I get to my son's 15th bday rifle build. a .458 Socom. lol. Well his 2021 xmas build was a .350 legend, but I still think I'd grab the .458 for bear defense.

I'm glad I'm not dealing with bears.

I want a .458 SOCOM!

The .458 and the .350 are both great calibers to have.

I can barely afford to look at all y'all pictures. Although, my dad's life insurance policy check just arrived . . . he bought me my first rifle for Christmas when I was 12, I still have that little .22 plinker.

Picked up a 43x MOS today since Maryland is now a shall issue state. Here's a width comparison with my 19.

I have the 43X as my next pistol but prefer night sights, it'll compliment my G17.5MOS.

I prefer the nights sights as well. I need suppressor height sights for the 43 anyway for co-witness, so I'll make them night sights.

It's fun to fire, and it would put a very large hole in someone, but it's only accurate out to about 200m.

And the round cap of the magazines sucks; it uses standard AR-15 mags, but the rounds go in in a single stack, instead of a double stack. So a standard cap 30 round AR-15 mag will hold 10 .458 SOCOM rounds.

Basically, if dinosaurs ever come back to life, I will use my .458 AR to take them out at close range.

And if I can see them from far away, I have a bolt action .338 Lapua that will also put a hurtin' on any dinosaurs.

I am 100% prepared for the dinosaur zombie apocalypse.

As it has been recently brought to my attention, this is what the zombie dinosaur apocalypse will look like.

Humbly, I believe only a 50 cal MOD2L will do in times like these!

I am 0% prepared for the dinosaur zombie apocalypse. The largest caliber I own is 30:06 in a garand and I do not believe that will be adequate. But I have thought thru this scenario (sure I have ) and will acquire a Barrett semi-auto .50 BMG for such an event. Oh yes. I have a plan.

The Marlin 1895 Stainless is the only rifle that comes rated for a T-Rex from it's manufacturer:

I mean, you need to prepare for all possibilities, and if Hollywood has taught me anything it's that both dinosaurs and zombies are a real threat. And I see no reason why dinosaurs couldn't become zombies if they both happened at the same time...

It’s not impossible, but not as easy as let’s say 9mm. One of my go-to gun shops seems to have a connection/hook-up with ammo distributor and often has most ammo in stock, even in 2020 when it was very scarce.

Speaking of ammo, is .458 easy to find and if so, what is the average cost per round?

[chowser51]

If you’re lucky to find any .458 in stock for under $3/round, snatch it up.

I only have a few hundred rounds left that I bought when it was cheaper.
