Much like a fine .600NE H&H double, this gun presents a horrible dilemma.

You will regret not shooting one if you have the chance, but if you shoot it, you will regret it.

You need that PLUS blood and bile. Heard from a friend...

I can tolerate people doing unspeakable things with shovels, but summoning a Great Old One should be right out...

I shot some 140gr. @ 1400fps Federal .357 magnums out of my Scandium J-Frame once.




Once.

I have a Vote for the Greater of All Evils - Cthulhu t-shirt, that I wore to matches during the election.

BTW, the Laundry Series of novels by Charles Stross has an British secret agency that fights the Great Old Ones. Presently, the USA government is in the process of being taken over by Cthulhu while the UK is in the hands of Nyarlathotep. The agency is trying to undo this.

Their issue sidearms are:

Glock 17s that are invisible to the nonmagical public for accidental CCW exposure and loaded with banishment rounds for various supernaturals.
Cell phones that have a Basilisk app that if you take a picture of someone or thing, it turns carbon to silicon. So you are stone.
Hands of Glory.

Pretty good stories.

***Total thread derail alert***

A buddy of mine who is an experienced shooter has a "crazy Uncle". His starting loads are usually the top end loads in the manual, rocks and dynamite if you will. Crazy Uncle brings his .44 Mag to the range and hands it to my buddy to try it out. My buddy fires 1 round and puts it down. Uncle says he put 6 in so there's still 5 rounds left to fire. My buddy says "I fired it twice."

Uncle says "No, you only fired once!"

"No, I fired it twice. The first time and the LAST time!"

I'm pretty sure that Vaquero would help you out with that too.

I was at a range next to a guy and his girlfriend. He handed her an ultralight .357 snubby and stood smirking as she fired it. BOOM. Then she quietly said, "You asshole," put the gun down and walked out. I'm guessing that guy didn't get laid.

After touching of a full power 357 in my J-frame it hurt my right hand so much I didn't get laid that evening either...

I've read them. Good books. Great edged weapons - the black knife and that shape changing sword thing.

Don't know if I would want a flesh eating super vampire girl friend though.

Compared to my ex-wife, it doesn't sound so bad.

I haven’t tried those (yet) but The Laundry series is interesting. Stross, the author, contributed D&D adventures to White Dwarf magazine back in the day.

I’m currently reading through The Adversary/Repairman Jack series by F. Paul Wilson. Interesting books (don’t judge them by the Michael Mann adaptation of The Keep) with a somewhat different mythology but the firearms research, as is too typical, is pretty horrendous. I just finished “Conspiracies” where he specifically thanks a firearms expert in the forward and still has a ton of errors. Oh well, sometimes you can’t have everything.

Was it "magnums" or was it "once?"

Indeed. I’m pretty sure that the gods of prehistory have been vanquished, but if we summon one, the Almighty might say: “You dumb shits are on yer own.”

To continue diversion, DC comics had a character called the Spectre and one called Dr. Fate. The former was a merger of a reformed demon and a detective killed in the line of duty. He was charged with being the Wrath of God by the Almighty and probably the most powerful character for DC. He sneered at Superman. The latter was a Lord of Order who merged through a magic helmet with a PhD Anthropologist and almost but not as strong as the Spectre.

When the two first met they had to suppress a portal the USA intelligence services opened up and let in an Old One. Much uproar. However, the Old One bragged that he was going to blah, blah to Earth. He was a Lovecraftian type. The Spectre basically shoved his tentacled butt back in to the nothing-ness as he (Spectre) was the Wrath of God Almighty who created even the Old Ones (why?) and took no crap from them. Nice Geek moment.

The best Spectre vengeance moment was a a trial. A mom took her kids to the in-laws house in a van. She torched the van and the kids for some family relationship issues. At trial, she pleaded diminshed capacity and wished to see her kids again. Wah, Wah. Well, the Spectre appeared (as he is the Avenger of the unpunished murders) and said, Well - if you want to see your kids - here they are and materialized two flaming kid skeletons who advanced on and cremated Mom. The judge found the Spectre in contempt (fat lot of good that did). As the Spectre turned to go, a CNN reporter (he has guts) asked him why? He got an interview explaining the Wrath of God.

In the Laundry books, the Old Ones are basically whacked out, sadistic, blood thirsty aliens from higher dimensions that prey on weaker species. There is no evidence of any of the standard world religion pantheons - Abrahamic, Buddhist, Hindu, or others.

I apologize for knowing this stuff.

I would similarly recommend against Hornady 300gr JHP's from a 329PD.

That was a 'once' experience.
