Yankee's 'MURICA! Guns and Freedom Podcast!

Published on April 20, 2023
Duration: 61:46

This podcast episode features The Yankee Marshal discussing various firearms topics, including the Smith & Wesson 317 kit gun, Henry revolvers, 10mm vs. .40 S&W ammunition compatibility, and the mechanics of striker-fired versus hammer-fired pistols. He also touches on constitutional carry laws in Nebraska and Florida, and the nuances of "Stand Your Ground" legislation. The discussion includes personal anecdotes about illness and firearm ownership preferences, such as his most numerous caliber being .357 Magnum.

Quick Summary

Striker-fired pistols are primarily designed for manufacturing simplicity and cost-efficiency, not specifically to prevent snagging during concealed carry. While their streamlined profile can be beneficial, the core design advantage lies in the absence of a hammer mechanism, making them easier and cheaper to produce.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the pros and cons of striker-fired versus hammer-fired pistols?

Striker-fired pistols are generally simpler to manufacture and can be more cost-effective, often featuring a more streamlined profile. Hammer-fired pistols offer a different trigger feel and can have external safeties or decockers, but their hammers can sometimes be a snagging point during concealed carry, though this is not the primary design consideration for striker-fired guns.

Is it safe to dry fire a firearm?

While dry firing can be safe for many firearms, it's always recommended to use snap caps or spent casings. This practice helps prevent potential damage to the firing pin, especially in certain firearm designs, and mitigates the risk of unexpected breakage that might only be discovered when the firearm is needed.

What is the difference between 10mm and .40 S&W ammunition in terms of barrel compatibility?

You should not use .40 S&W ammunition in a 10mm barrel, or vice versa. The cartridges have different rim depths, meaning one will fit too deep and the other too shallow in the wrong barrel. This can lead to firing pin over-travel, stressing the firing pin and potentially breaking it, even if the firing pin can reach the primer.

What are the implications of 'Stand Your Ground' laws?

'Stand Your Ground' laws remove the legal duty to retreat from a dangerous situation before using force. This means you do not have to attempt to flee if you are legitimately threatened. However, these laws do not change the circumstances under which the use of force is justified; they only remove the obligation to retreat.

Which caliber does The Yankee Marshal own the most of?

The Yankee Marshal states that he owns the most firearms chambered in .357 Magnum, with 9mm being a close second. This is due to a significant collection of revolvers in .357 Magnum and numerous semi-automatic firearms that utilize 9mm ammunition.
