    5.56mm Stopping power

    To: Jeff White Yes, I knew John Plaster and spent as much time as I could when out of the field (which wasn’t much) at the Rifle Range that Carlos Hathcock and Gunny English put together in Da Nang, his old haunt. (Major McMillan used to let us skip lunch and instead issue us as much .45 hard...

    5.56mm Stopping power

    To: JShirley “Well, M.T., I don't know you, but I have issues with some things you've said. Who were you assigned to? I'm a little surprised that you claim to have been a Recon Marine, and then immediately speak about SF. So, were you a Recon Marine, or SF?” So just WHO told you that...

    5.56mm Stopping power

    I'll get in trouble for this one, you can bet on that! I just sent this as an e-mail to a Firearms Expert... "I am responding to your article: More about 5.56mm Lethality. I find it incredible that we are having the same argument we were engaged in during the Vietnam War. The point...

    Taurus Tracker 44 magnum any good?

    Re: Sportshooter's report Sportshooter, do you have a pic of the destroyed revolver? The Taurus Rep while traveling through Tucson never heard of any such catastrophic event with a .357 Tracker (although that is probably the response one would expect.) That it would have blown apart, hmmm. A...

    Best off brand handgun you've ever owned?

    EAA Witness Sport .45 I had an EAA Witness Sport .45acp, stainless bottom, blue top. The factory adjustable sights could be moved from side to side for more than a half an inch on either side so I shimmed it up with some thin steel sheeting. Stopped the movement but I was never really...

    What's the most obscure handgun you've ever carried?

    Thomas DA only (now, that’s an SA isn’t it guys!) in .45ACP Came a time when I abandoned sanity for wonderlust and I wound up working for the Ministries de la Justice in Mexico. I had picked up the blue Thomas .45 in a gunshow in Sierra Vista AZ. and I believe that was the only commerce...

    Post your .45ACP pics

    I LOVE this group! After arguing with the .22magnum carry crowd, I find coming in here and witnessing your posts frankly good for the soul! Just one thing though, my .45’s have seen enough use both in carry and range sessions - that they look NOTHING like your pretty nice shiny .45s!!! I...

    22 magnum as a self defense round

    Armchair theorists and theoretical stopping power Been through all of this debate before. Nothing I can say will dissuade the minimalists and know betters; even 3 tours of duty during the war in a Marine Recon Company or a career as a Police Officer. Suffice it to say that One: If you...

    ASAI One Pro .45

    We probably worked together at Jensen's. Miss Dianne and Butch, Bob most of all! Dave and Rick always have my heart at West of the Pecos, but haven't been for a long while. I was offered management of Miller's place before they sold it to the West of the Pecos group but sent the buyers to see...

    22 magnum as a self defense round

    Actual shooting with a .22 magnum A few years back I had the privilege of knowing a tall gent that used to sell discount leather goods at gun shows through out the Southwest. I believe his business was called the Holster Lady (after his wife.) I must have purchased dozens of his holsters and...

    Pancake holsters....

    Just one funny note if I may. Many years ago, (back when very few considered autoloaders good choices for defense,) I ordered one of Roy Bakers original pancake holsters for my Smith and Wesson Model 27, 3inch, .357 magnum. It was a cherished rig and I committed I believe a mortal sin by...

    ASAI One Pro .45

    I actually registered solely to answer your question about my experiences with the One Pro. About a decade ago Springfield Arms was importing the ASAI One Pro and the reviews couldn’t have been better! When I saw my first One Pro I was super impressed in the smooth trigger pull and excellent...
