<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 349326, member: 4552"]Meanwhile back to the subject. As noted already a safe is not really to SAFE. If your coins are in a safe at home and there is a fire that gets to the safe, almost anything inside will be effected. If any of your coins are in plastic, won't take much heat to melt that all over the coins. Albums with plastic slides also will melt at low temperatures and the cardboards glue that holds the albums together also will melt and give off harmfull vapors. Papers, cardboards, plastics or any low temperature burning objects will also be effected and the resulting vapors may also effect the coins. Do not forget the more air tight the safe, the more locked in those vapors. Those vapors may stay in there long after the fire is contained. </p><p> One of my neighbors had a safe that was bolted to the floor and the wall. Very large, heavy safe. Also, had a home burglar alarm system that was from some agency that guranteed nothing could now get in without them knowing. Those neibors went on vacation. A moving van pulled up one day and started to remove everything from the house. Neighbors even asked the movers what was going on. They said the people that lived there liked where they were at and decided to move there. When the owners came back from their vacation they found an empty house, no safe and the so called movers even took the burglar alarm system. The so called burlar alarm company had attempted to call that house to find out if there was a problem but the phones too was taken so no answer. </p><p> As to guns. Yes you can fire numerous different loads, types of ammo, from a .357 which includes many </p><p>.38 cal. Note there are also many, many different loads and types of .357 and .38 available. For example you can acquire .38's in wad cutters, simi-wad cutters, round nose, all Lead, no Lead, full & target loads of many different powers. Same is true of .357's. Note there are .38's available that will not fit in either a standard .38 or .357 cal. Also, there are Super .357's that will not fit in a standard .357 cal gun. There are </p><p>.38 specials, .38 Supers, etc. In the field of .38's and .357's there are really a large variety of different types of ammo available so you should really know what you are doing.</p><p> Now the problem with firing a .38 from a .357. Look inside the cylinder. You'll notice a ring where the .357 shell stops. As you fire a .38 from that .357 that ring will slowly become blocked with either Lead, Brass or Copper from the .38 slug and as this happens the .357 will no longer fit in that cylinder. Of course this can be removed with constant usage of a wire brush, strong gun cleaner and lots of work. This wire brushing will also slowly wear away the guns internal parts. </p><p> Please know what you are doing with guns. Know your weapons or they can do more damage to you than to someone your pointing it at.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
