Everyone going hunting for Bourbon County on Friday?!?!

You referring to Goose Island Stout?

That's correct - I've got 4 bottles set aside for me but I'm going to bring a few girls from work to try and grab some more

Girls or bottles?

I'm confused.  I'm not against handguns but I don't know much about them.  seems to me though, that a 40mm pistol would be pretty cumbersome.  I remember something in WW2 called a 20mm cannon they used on some aircraft.  if cannon shells come in 20 mm, then we have 40mm handguns?  should the 40mm Mark mentions be a .40cal vs mm?  or did I just miss a gun joke?

You're right, 40 mm is incorrect.  It's 0.40 inches, or 40 caliber, which is closer to 10 mm.  I was mixing mm and calibers.  F'kn gun talk, amiright?

Thanks Bean,  wasn't trying to be a gun weenie, but I haven't messed with handguns much.  hunted with rifles and shotguns.  figured 40mm would be pretty big, but hey, i hear they make a 50 cal handgun... i shot a BAR 30 cal once and had bruises for 2 weeks afterwards.  can't imagine how you can hold and accurately shoot a 50 cal handgun.  wouldn't mind trying once though.

The Desert Eagle 50 A/E? It's .50 cal all right, but obviously not the rifle (or machine gun) load.  It's a well designed gun, well balanced, heavy, but not punishing to shoot. The weight and the design of the action absorb a lot of the recoil.  I'd love to own one, just too many guns ahead of it on my priority list. I don't frequently need to stop car bombers wearing body armor.

But there is also a 10mm handgun caliber

Finish the thought Tex...

The .40 caliber is a shortened version of the 10mm round. Same bullet, shorter case, less powder. Still a potent round, but more manageable than a 10mm.

S&W 500 is not that terrible either, big heavy piece of metal and a ported barrel.

10mm Glock with ported barrel is not bad to handle at all.

Miles says he is not considering retirement which usually means he will be gone soon but not likely before the A&M game.

I hear there's a shooting range down the beach.  Just take a right at the palm tree.  Choot 'em!

No, but, generally speaking, these loads take significant practice to handle well. I had to put 1000 rounds through the Glock 22 to merely become competent with it. It was my first .40 and my first polymer weapon. So took some time to learn to manage the trigger pull and its tendency to twist on recoil - which is to say, to overcome bad habits that the 9mm and the 1911 forgive. ;-)

"Boosters have already agreed to pay the $15 million to $20 million needed to buy out Miles and his staff, the source said."

Ballistics is just a bunch of numbers if you can hit what you're aiming for.  Find something that is comfortable to carry and comfortable to shoot.

I can fully agree with 3 out of the 4 but ballistics/bullet characteristics are very important also even if the 4th item on your list.  Bullets that don't perform right are a real issue even with great accuracy which is a definite factor of the other two things you listed.   Also accuracy and ballistics are heavily influenced by small carry guns.
