. Now, I'll go you one better, if you (or anyone) wants to shoot my .44 Mag Contender or my .45-70 Contender "gangsta style", I'd let you. You are responsible for all medical bills and any damage to my gun from you dropping it.... 10" .44 mag with the thin octagon barrel, actually weighs quite a bit less than a .44 Mag revolver. The .45-70 has a 14" barrel, and a red dot sight. You might be able to use the Red dot when holding it gangsta, but when that sight on top of a thick steel bar slams into your face, don't blame ME!

Ironically, the black folks who live in my neighborhood several avenues down from my building all happen to be ultra-hipsters. And then there is this one ABC Chinese kid whose parents are friends with my parents simply because they can converse in the same language and shops at the same supermarket. Their kid has always been a "gangsta" since he was 12. Now he is 23 and serving 6 years in prison for a gun/drug rap. Got caught trying to sell a quantity of coke to an undercover and was carrying an illegal and defaced Beretta. Might be other gang related stuff involved too. Go figure |

A far more advanced technique is to twist the pistol when you fire it. Assuming the rifling twist is correct... turning the pistol when firing it will add a bit more gain to the bullet RPM, making it stabilize betterer and fasterer. The correct application of this technique is for advanced professionals only... because you don't use your sights.

500 internet points for any poster that can link me to the video I saw once years back where two young guys detail the entire rundown of the "gangsta" style use of a handgun. Of course it goes sideways, but they also detail holding it high, and sort of throwing each bullet out of it while trash talking. It's hilarious because the one guy tells the other to trash talk so he says "I'm a way better soccer player than you, man!"
Please drop a link to this video if you know it!

I believe the Bank of Sevens is the only one that accepts internet points and then only as payment for backing up unsubstantiated claims made in forums by the payor.
Right, Sevens?

Heck yeah, that's the one!
Those 500 internet points are valid towards the purchase of factory new, new in package Hornady and RCBC steel rifle reloading dies, available in the TFL Handloading and Reloading area of the site.

IMO,the common denominator would be those who buy into the "culture" that Hollywood portrays and those who take that portrayal seriously. All sorts of people wear their caps backwards.All sorts of people install big amps and annoying subwoofers in their Hondas. And they aren't playing Charlie Pride.Maybe Eminem. IMO,there was absolutely no reference to race,and any leap to a racist agenda exists only in the mind of the leaper. I'm so tired of people walking around with a quickdraw race card...I'm fed up. A racist is someone who walks through life filtering,examining,and evaluating every social interaction in terms of race.Many Social Justice Warriors ,aware of it or not,actively practice racism every day. |

And with the playing of that card, the deal is done, game over.
