WTF with the gun being strapped to vertical bars? Which indoor range is this?

It was a very good thing actually. The gun would have flown out of his hands without those springs, and mine too.

Was in Honolulu.

Ah, yes: I've heard about this weird thing being practiced in HI. It was described differently to me though: the gun being attached by a piece of cable hanging from the ceiling. At least this is how it's alledgedly done in Maui's public ranges.

Might be local regulation.

I have fired both the 44 Magnum in a revolver and a Henry Big Boy classic. This cartridge pairs very well with a long gun. I highly recommend the .45 ACP over a 44 Magnum when it comes to handguns but I would take the 44 Magnum over the .45 ACP in a carbine.

Ears? If your ears are bothering you, you may not have picked out the best hearing protection. Find foam ear plugs with a 33 db reduction rating. You can use those less effective muffs with the plugs and get an even better db reduction. If you can move to a NFA friendly state, a suppressor would help a lot with the ear safety.

Another safety tip, keep your hands away from the sides of the cylinder, Revolvers spray tons of burning gases out the side where the cylinder lines up with the barrel. You appear to be holding it correctly in the video so this comment is simply a reminder.

I used to shoot a 44 Mag & did all my reloading.
I loaded a couple of rounds,HOT! A couple were enough.

Eeek! A closet guntard liberal :-) :-)
