No need to shut up snooter. Informative post. And I agree...no way to know.

Actually a very informative post about the brands of 9mm Snooter. I, like you, don't think it mattered to him which way it ejected, and I to believe he possibly reloaded, especially at BRS.

My main post was mostly just me wondering if he used different hands in different crime scenes. Did he use his right hand to shoot at LHR, his left at BRS, his right again at PH? If so, he was definitely ambidextrous...or, as I'm sometimes starting to believe, there was more than one "Z" responsible.

I know this next part goes off topic just a bit, but it has been something that always bugged me, and I think even Buckwheat Flowers mentioned it somewhere in another thread...who in their right mind plans to go murder 2 people, and in that planning decides to use a .22? Yes, it got the job done, but a .22 is not a weapon you think of using to commit murder. It's one of the least powerful guns there are. The bullet itself is about the same size as you'd see in a pellet gun. And you know you could possibly only have a short window of time to get the job done. Why take a chance with a small caliber weapon such as that? It just doesn't add up to me for some reason.

I think that is one of the reasons some have questioned these murders as the work of Zodiac. At times, it comes across as more juvenile. But, it worked and did so better than BRS.

If the shooter were right handed and Betty Lou was standing to the left of David, it would seem he would go to David's right side to shoot him. That's just a personal observation of course...either way would work.

i have no idea why Z used a 22 either..kinda lame if You ask me..may be Z did not know much about guns/ballistics or May be he wanted to prolong suffering?..not saying I want to get shot but id almost take a hit from a 22 than a 45..my bottom line answer is I dont know why he used what he used..could be thats all he had access to or was able to get/find in a back alley deal..none of this of course answers left or right handed..and ballistics would only give us position Z was in in relation to the victim. (course caliber, etc)..i am fully ambidextrous and can write left or right..i bat left throw left but prefer right hand for writing..i am also right eye dominant..what could any crime scene tech determine if I was Z?...even if the police had a full complete set of handprints (same for dna) that would be of little use if Z did not have a criminal history and had never been fingerprinted before..some times I kinda think Z is none of our POI's and is the all american guy next door who played football for nebraska and married the prom queen and owned the pharmacy on main street and gives free candy to the kids when they come in...Z also appears to have intelligence..only time he lost control of his emotions would in my opinion be the stine murder..seems that was some sort of I have balls and can hit in a major city right under the cops nose and can get away with it because I am the Z...after stine things started to wane for the most part and may be Z wanted it that way (lesson learned with stine??).
