Misfires with an LCR II are easily cleared by tap/rack, because it has an extractor. Whereas a misfire with a Beretta 21A cannot be cleared as quickly or as easily. It doesn't have an extractor, and the rim of the misfired cartridge is effectively swaged to the breech by the firing pin. It...

And probably had more to do with toy cap guns and the caps fired in them than muzzle loading.

Google "Federal Personal Defense .410 000 buckshot". You'll discover there's plenty to be had for purchase in 2 1/2" and 3" shotshells. Yes, it's marketed as "handgun" ammo but it works just fine, i.e., penetrates at least 12", from a full length shotgun barrel.

Unfortunately, Lucky Gunner used Clear Ballistics Gelatin, which has been proved to NOT be the same as "FBI Spec" properly prepared and calibrated Type 250A ordnance gelatin. Bullets behave differently in Clear Ballistics Gelatin than in human soft tissues and Type 250A gelatin. In addition...

Well... there's competence, and then there's proficiency. Competence means you have the knowledge, skills, and ability to shoot safely and accurately. Whereas there are various levels of proficiency (skill) based on objective measurements. IDPA classifications are an example of proficiency...

I suggest shot no smaller than BB.

Things aren't so tidy in real life.

Zero wait time for self-defense guns. Tap, roll, rack, recover, and drive-on during training, practice, and SHTF.

It's important to choose a criminal defense lawyer that has actual experience defending armed self-defense cases. Most criminal defense lawyers only get one or two genuine self-defense cases in their entire career and are unfamiliar with the depth and breadth of laws surrounding the use of...

Possible Constitutional violation regarding interference with interstate commerce? Then there's the law of unintended consequences - the state requires all transfers to go through an FFL, but with fewer FFLs to do transfers it encourages under the table black market sales of "unpapered" guns...

Put some mole skin on the areas of your hands/fingers that get abraded by your kit when you practice.

"Replica firearms, including firearm replicas that are toys, may be transported in checked baggage only." https://www.tsa.gov/travel/transporting-firearms-and-ammunition SIRT and Blue Guns aren't firearms, they're "replicas". You don't have to declare them at check-in because they aren't...
