Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! pew.deals - Dear WLS Duke of Crude - Hey fam, So my job has me go to a lot of heavy industrial places to tour and report on from a safety perspective. One of the last places I went to was a large liquid natural gas terminal on the gulf coast. Outsiders were not allowed to bring firearms onto the property which was bullshit, but they also had armed security through the facility as this place was regulated by homeland security and the department of energy. I didn’t get to talk with those security people or get a good look at what they were carrying, but what do you think would be the best caliber and ammo for that scenario? Most all surrounding environment contains explosive and/or flammable liquid, but you do have a very real threat of terrorism there as well. Thought this might be a fun thought experiment or discussion. When I go back, I’ll compare with what ya ll come up with and report back. Also, did everyone win the dead pool this week? Ozzy, hulk hogan, and %Chuck mangione all in one swoop. Thanks! Duke Alex W - Hey y'all. I'm considering buying a 45 acp handgun for woods carry and as something fun and slightly less expensive to shoot than my 10mm. I think i want a metal frame hammer gun just as a change from all my striker pistols. But, I don't want a manual safety as I'm not used to carrying with a safety and don't want to forget to turn it off if I really need the gun. The sig p220 seems like the obvious choice. But I would like something with a higher capacity than 8 rounds. As far as I can tell, the p227 and the cz97 would have fit what I'm looking for perfectly but have both been discontinued. Can you suggest any quality guns similar to those two that im forgetting about? Thanks. Keep up the great work. Steve B - I recently won a Springfield Prodigy 3.5", it's my first 2011 style pistol. From what I understand the first run of Prodigy's had problems but supposedly the kinks were worked out by now. I already have a number of carry options including a cajunized CZ P-01 and a P365xl. So the size and weight doesn't bother me much, my question is what would you do with it? It isn't drop safe, but that isn't a huge factor, with a 3.5" barrel it isn't prime for competition. Would you carry it if it's reliable or trade it in on something else? Ian C - Esteemed Leaders of the Cult, As the fervent heat of summer begins to fade and the gentle, crisp breath of autumn approaches, so too does the time of the noble pursuit—the great hunt for the majestic white-tailed deer. In the realm in which I dwell, the sovereign’s wardens—those gallant stewards in green jeans—have most graciously bestowed upon us the privilege of employing straight-walled cartridges in this venerable endeavor. To that end, I humbly seek your esteemed counsel. Of the following three arms, which would you deem most worthy for the task of felling such a noble creature? • The venerable .45-70 Government (lever-action) • The stout-hearted .44 Magnum (lever-action) • Or the nimble .357 Magnum Contender (single-shot) Moreover, in your seasoned judgment, would you favor jacketed hollow points or full metal jacket rounds for such a purpose? It bears noting that the land is largely suburban in character, though there remain several verdant clearings where hunting is sanctioned. However, due to environmental constraints, engagement distances exceeding 50 yards are unlikely. I remain ever grateful for your wisdom, and trust that your response shall arrive in time for the commencement of the great hunt. With the highest regards and sincerest thanks, Your devoted servant in arms. Andy M - Hello All, Long time listener. Hooked up with the show during COVID and never looked back.
