For Once And For All

To the stupid gun writers who proclaim that short barreled guns MUST use lighter bullets.

The Speer SB (short barrel) 230 grain Gold Dot Hollowpoint. Please take a look at how relatively slow those velocities are. Most of the big name ammunition manufacturers are working on similar products for compact firearms, so of course you CAN carry your bigbore loaded with bigbore ammo.

So if at all possible, stop passing along bad information simply because you're too lazy to do the research necessary to make helpful recommendations.

And to the myriad of emailers stumped because of all of the bad scoop out there; sorry, we do the best we can but nobody reads this stuff and everybody reads Guns & Ammo, or American Handgunner where they find advertisements disguised as essays. American Handgunner in particular presents just about the worst information that is humanly possible, as all they wish to do is pimp for whichever gun and/or ammo manufacturer is taking out the most ads. Smith & Wesson could come up with donkey feces in the shape of a handgun, and as long as it carried the Thunder Ranch logo, Handgunner would be frothing at the ass to rave about it.
