    28mm handgun?

    A recent article about a straw purchaser involved in the cop killing in Chiraq...err... Chicago included a snippet about a straw purchaser of a firearm in Oklahoma which included this statement:

    "Dythe admitted to accepting cash from her boyfriend at the time, 28-year-old Devon Jones, to buy a 28mm handgun from Bass Pro Shops in April 2020"

    Yup, a 28mm handgun, maybe manufactured by the same people who make the 'phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range'?

    But seriously I'm asking y'all just in case there really is such a thing and Bass Pro Shop [outside of California] stocks them...

    That would be getting pretty close to a 1 inch diameter bullet. Didn't do the math, just off the top of my head. I don't think I want one.

      28mm is well over an inch.

      And that's a bigger bore than an 10GA shotgun.

        28mm = 1.102 inches.

            1 inch = 25.4mm

            Recoil must be horrendous, if it's 28mm!

                    That's my guess too based on this:

                    French and her partner had their weapons holstered when Monty Morgan allegedly pulled a gun from his waistband and opened fire, according to the charging papers. French was hit in the back of the head, according to the documents.

                    Both officers fell to the ground, but their partner who chased after Eric Morgan returned to the scene when he heard shots and engaged in a gunfight allegedly with Monty Morgan, shooting the suspect in the abdomen and left arm, according to the court documents. A wounded Monty Morgan was seen allegedly giving the gun to his brother, who also returned to the scene and ran off with his brother, according to the documents.

                    Following a brief search, Monty Morgan was found lying on the ground near the shooting scene and his brother was later tracked down in the neighborhood and arrested. A .22-caliber handgun believed to have been used in the shooting was found in a backyard near where Eric Morgan was taken into custody, according to the court documents.

                      28mm? That recoil would be a level of "snappy" that even .40 cal couldn't touch!
