| The Bain and Davis was based on a 44 Mag case for revolvers,but I know what you mean. Some others,9x25Dillion,9mmAE,357Auto mag,357sig,38Cassul. Plenty of possibilities to choose from.Who can up with these rules needs shafting like a poofta chook. I had a model 32(compact)Glock in .357sig.I'm waiting to see what comes out in the next 6 months.I loved that caliber,will try to replace it with something similar. Mate of mine has a Tokarov in 7.62x25? the barrel was a little short so he fitted a barrel extension.He loves that little screaming round as the FMJ ammo goes though level one armour like it was butter. |

| I'm not a pistol shooter, but this buy back stuff reminds me of the time, years ago, when any semi-auto rifle had to be surrendered. I ahd a really good Win 490 22 that I bought from a mate for $10. It had spent a couple of nights in the bottom of his pool! His wife had the sh*t's with him, and threw the gun into the pool a couple of nights before. Had a tiny bit of rust, but still shot like a house on fire!! Surrendered the gun, got something like $300 bucks for it (hey, I was happy), but it didn't stop him putting a bullet through his head a couple of years ago using a bolt action 223!! Unfortunately, I was the one who found his body!! Didn't stop the use of semi auto's in SW Sydney over the last few months, when are the pollies going to learn that stopping law abiding people from owning guns will not fix the (perceived) problem? I also know heaps of people who have semi auto rifles (SKS, Jungmans, etc.,) that they have kept? Breath deeply, through the diaphragm!!!! Shits me to tears!! |

| Let me see! A deranged killer shoots two people dead at Monash Uni and we have a National handgun buyback A bunch of coppers kill a 26yo unarmed bloke with capsicum spray and the police Commissioner says that's OK. Surely someone in authority must realise that this shit is lethal, otherwise why can women buy it to defend themselves? Any input from USA, do your police use this stuff to subdue violent drunks? |

| I can't figure out why the coppers aren't sued for Manslaughter???? Same with the cowboy coppers in Redfern,the kids bike had a buckled back wheel where it was shunted by the cop car. |

| The ABC reports that a "one-tonne bronze statue of Prime Minister John Howard in an oversized Anzac uniform erected near Old Parliament House in Canberra has been removed by police. Melbourne artist Greg Taylor put the statue, named "If the Boots don't fit", at Reconciliation Place to make a political statement." Anyone seen a photo?
Update: Photo added from "Spike" (thanks warbo), which reports that this was no cheap shot, costing the artist $30,000 to create. Featuring Howard "in an oversized Digger's uniform, enormous boots and clutching a rifle", the artist said his work "sought to draw attention to Howard's 'smallness' in a metaphysical, spiritual and political sense". The Canberra Times reported that this was a first for the artist, who has only ever scultpured the naked form in the past. "In this case I just couldn't bring myself to do it", he said yesterday. |
