Honestly I didn’t know it was that prolific with that breed. Neighbor had one and I didn’t think twice about it.

We used to drop hogs we pulled for slaughter with a hollow point .22. That’s plopping one in the dome though. If you’re under duress and you don’t think you can land one in the melon get something bigger.

Whatever you use, get hollow points. You could use an AR 15 and a full metal jacket will just poke a hole in him. Get hollow points, rip it’s shit apart and be done.

If this all goes down, it seems unlikely that you'll be wishing you had fired a smaller bullet.

Nope, no pits in my home. I have never owned a dog in my adult life.

I have a small child and I wouldn’t be comfortable with her around any animal, including pit bulls, chihuahuas or cats. Animals can be weird and unpredictable.

Guess I'm going to the gun store.

Dear Dumb shit,

with all due respect, a .22 round could literally richocet off a pit bull's skull and either round off the top between the bone and skin...or deflect directly back at you.

With a .22, you could mortally wound yourself and do nothing to the dog but seriously piss it off.

.22s are for killing rabbits and birds.
9mm are for thugs
.45s, .44s, and .40 cals are for alpha males...

You should get a .32 or .38...

With the 40 watt range?

You sure know your guns, pal...hey, you can't do that in here...

Gee aren’t there some Gremlins in the back?

bring me the gun of indiana jones

Our new neighbor 1/2 mile down the Laneway has two. I see them when we go to get the mail or take trash down. I’ve started carrying and so has the Mrs. 9mm/45. They will slow them down quickly.

And if I catch them up by our place. Well they will end up in the brush pile with the rest of the coyotes and stray/random dogs in the north pasture. There will be no warning or call to come get your dogs. They will just….. disappear….

Not the best carry option. Full sized .45s are heavy and bulky, and smaller ones are really snappy and have limited magazine capacity. And 1911s are not good carry guns; you don't want to be fumbling around with an external safety while a pit bull is eating your leg (or somebody is shooting at you). Again, I'm not in the shooting dogs business, but I assume if you put a couple of 9mm hollowpoint rounds into a pit bull it would at the very least slow it down. Those are going to do some serious damage. And even if you miss, the sound of the shot might scare it away.

As I've said many times in the gun thread, the best carry weapon is a Sig P365XL. If you want to carry something, carry that.

Why not a revolver?

Unless it’s double action. It’s not as easy to handle. Or shoot fast with.

Why not ride a ****ing horse to work and listen to 8-track tapes? Revolvers suck.

The Sig I carry holds 13 rounds. A revolver generally holds six, and smaller ones (like a typical snubnose .38) hold five. They also generally have really heavy double action trigger pulls - you have to cock the hammer to get a light pull. And a lot of revolvers specifically don't have external hammers any more.
