I waved good bye to my pair of classic Honda Trail 90's today.
dang, I had hopes for them.
but, I found a snos cat that I really want, and have to sell stuff, to buy it.
*sips at glass*
maybe there'll be more trail 90's out there.

If you aren't comfortable or good with a handgun, do consider a home defender shotgun. I've got Larry's hunting 12 gauge shotgun, much too big for me, but one of these days we'll get me a smaller, lighter one. Kills intruders just as dead at close range, and you don't have to aim very well. Point and pump. Just a thought. A bloodthirsty thought on a Monday morning....winebuff wrote:Revolvers Yggy. I have only shot a gun twice for very brief moments so should be interesting. Still waffling on whether to actually get a gun for protection and whether to get a concealed license which we can do after we finish the course. We live way out in the woods so will probably get something so we are protected. Plus we have acreage to shoot and practice. Not a big gun fan but want to have all the info before I proceed.

Ah, but you don't have to aim nearly as well as with a handgun.Box Burner wrote:A shotgun still needs to be aimed. Typically the shot will not spread much before 5 to 10 feed distance. Thus producing a big hole. Very deadly though at close range, but you still have to aim.
this link will give some info

I notice the recoil! Sucker is dang hard to hang onto, although I can empty all the rounds into a single milk jug and keep it spinning in the air. I really have to brace and my shoulder is black and blue after. Long barrel... comes up nearly to my chin.ygmir wrote:yeah loud, but interestingly, when shooting as in hunting, or other adrenaline filled time, you don't even notice the sound, or recoil.
Pattern is also a function of shot size, barrel length and exit diameter (choke).
Yeah BB. I've played that tune, once, for an intruder.........hehehehe.
I totally get what you mean about felt recoil in practice, AntiM. I was more pointing to "actual use" as in while shooting at a deer or goose or whatever. Often, a hunter is so excited, they barely notice noise or recoil.AntiM wrote:I notice the recoil!

But yeah, that double click-clack is definitely a "get the fuck out" melody.
