>>Eh, with a barrel like that, he must be a bad shot. Right?

Hey, the extra two inches gets you that much closer to the target. Every little bit helps.

It's funny... I picked up the .44 Redhawk from a friend of mine because I could shoot it really well. He wasn't happy with it but I could shoot tiny groups at 20 or 25 yards. 44s and I just seem to get along. No idea why... it's heavy, my hand shakes holding it, and it kicks real hard when you pull the trigger... but half the time all the bullet holes touch in the target. Go figure...

On the other hand I couldn't shoot a Glock accurately if my life depended on it. They work great for all my friends... I can barely hit the target.

You know, that Randy Newman song wasn't meant to be taken literally.

(Sorry for the HiJack-Jack....But it might be a good thing! )

John:
I concede, my friend. The .357 is no competition for the .44. And I have also heard that girth is more important in, ummm, ballistics. I toyed with the Master, and he rolled up that newspaper and, with a light tap on the nose, reminds me of who the Alpha is.

But at least I will say that my photography was better! That's something, isn't it? Isn't it? Huh?

Isn't that the one that shoots through schools?

(just to be clear, this is a Johnny Dangerously reference, not an attempt to make light of the tragic school shootings)

Thanks Seabear and all others for your words of support. It is most appreciated.

I'm sure you can understand, now, why there will be NO Rocket vs. Axiom comparison. I say nice things about the Rockets, I'm a dupe and a shill. I say nice things about the Axioms; I'm an ingrate. A lose/lose situation no matter what I say.

Hijack MUCH appreciated, Mark. Fire away! (NOT LITERALLY!)

After you stated your position so eloquently and in such a concise way, I figured you didn't need any words from me. Pictures! Yeah, that's what I'm good at! And changing the subject. My wife says I'm good at that too!

Always go with your strengths!

Your photography was superb. I was embarrassed to post a response. I don't know if you caught the editing action on my post but I had pretty much decided to bow to the new leader until I noticed that the (Smith ?) might be a .357 (whew, that was close).

Nice collection there. And also thanks for the hi-jack. Couldn't have come at a better time. We were thinking about starting "hey, look, over here" threads. I almost posted a "Fire !!!" thread but that would have been irresponsible...

Ajax,

Thank you very much for starting this thread, and for others to guide it to its logical conclusion.

As a result of this discussion I've cancelled my order for an Axiom HT setup (M22ti's, VP100, QS4's) and will instead be investing my money in an acoustically-matched set of Freedom Arms Model 83's chambered in .454 Casull.

The Casull provides clear surperiority in SPL levels (although its response isn't quite as flat) over the Axiom line. Better stopping power too.
