At the risk of incurring wrath .... If I want to know about the .44 magnim I'll read what Keith wrote. The same if I want an opinion of large bore rifles."I corrected my point of aim, and the next five shots in the clip went into the snowdrift.
I put in a new clip and put them all in the snowdrift."
The gun? A 1911 .45. The writer----Elmer Keith. Anybody think Elmer was an idiot?
Hell, I Was There!, page 190
While I do not think Kieth was an idiot , the 1911 pistol uses a magazine.
Just 'cause he had lots of experience in certain matters and a famous gun wrtter to boot , dosen't mean the he wasn't guilty of using slang or getting word wrong a long the way.
Now off to gun Hell for saying something against Elmer Keith LOL.
