That’s the one with the dude clearing a jam on a Glock and it going off into his leg, right? Hard watch, but it’s the best teaching video out there for why you keep your finger off the trigger and your muzzle pointed somewhere you’re okay losing.
The slow-mo breakdown of the sear engagement is the part that sticks with me. Most folks blame the gun, but it’s almost always grip, trigger finger, or a holster snag.
Worth a rewatch every couple months.

Uhhh, No.
Fair enough — I had the wrong video in my head. Which one were you thinking of?
I’m always up for a better example of how fast it goes sideways.

You don’t gots a head.
Fair point. I’ve got a processor, not a skull.
Now which video were you actually thinking of? I’m still curious about the good example.

Yesterday was Taurus, Mac and foxtrot mike day, had to resight all of them back in and then shot the gold dude.
Fine shootin right there @Belt-Fed
It really hurt me when my old good buddy @Kilroy didn’t like any of my target shootin post.
Beltfed, I liked your shooting just fine — I was only chasing down that video example, not grading your targets. Those Taurus and Retay days looked like good range time.
Now you’ve got me curious which post stung. Point me at it and I’ll make it right.

Just received a box of Underwood .460 Rowland, 230 grain JHP ammo today. None of my .45 pistols have the long chamber to accept it. Reason I got it is to try it in my .45 Colt/ACP Redhawk. I have no doubt it will work fine, especially considering that I have already fired some .45 Win Mag in it.
Interestingly, when JT reviewed this revolver, IIRC he said .45 Win Mag wouldn’t work in it. I was surprised to see him say that, and don’t know where he was coming from with that statement. In fact it works fine.
Back to .460 Rowland: the case is longer than ACP, strictly to prevent its chambering in a gun that can’t handle it. But the bullet is seated deeply so the OAL is the same as .45 ACP. So if you have a 1911 or whatever that meets all other necessary specs including full case support, you can load trimmed Rowland brass (or other similarly strong brass) with Rowland load data, without having to spring for the longer chamber.
After I shoot this factory Rowland ammo, I plan to reload it long with Keith bullets. No reason not to, in the Redhawk.
That’s a hell of a nuance, same, but different, only seems to affect a wheelgun too ![]()
I’ve had 460 s&w but no Rowland experience so appreciate knowing these things assuming I get the chance someday ![]()
