    Glock Carbine / PDW

    In many countries handguns are easier to own than military looking semiautomatic rifles in military calibers (globally the US "stocked handgun = SBR" regulation is quite a novelty). Most non-US shooters also are only allowed a certain number of guns. In those political climates a conversion kit...

    Protection/family dog

    If you, like most firearms owners, don't need a professional attack/guard dog, but a great buddy who alerts you to any harm, please consider adopting an older dog from the local pound or rescue organizations. You don't buy a friend!

    Standard AR-15 or M4gery?

    M4gery with 1/7 barrel so you can stabilize the 75-77gr. bullets. Then you don't loose much compared to the 20" wound ballistics.

    New AR

    Well the Ar system has quite evolved from what was 30 years ago. The M4 SOPMOD package was really a great idea and a real performance booster: With "shorty" I guess you think of a 14.5" or 16" M4 clone? Or do you want to go the short-barreled rifle route and get a 11.5"? There is so...

    New AR

    Follow the links!! :D Start by reading this and this thread. Altough Forest recommends Bushmasters, especially now that Colt has brought out the MT6400 and the LE 6290 (both lightweight M4 clones with nearly all features of the military guns), some very experienced men recommend Colt over...

    Bushmaster M4gery A2 A3 info needed

    Get the flattop A3 and then add a LMT sight - much better quality than most cut carry handles. Several spec. ops teams believe in them. Once your eyes start to age, you can always go to with an Aimpoint or Eotech sight. That said, most people who take professional training are converted to the...

    ar confusion! how to sort it out?

    Go ahead and read this thread. Lots of valuable info here! Pat Rogers observes more rounds going downrange in a year than most of us in a lifetime. I guess you can follow his advice to go Colt, then Bushmaster. You also may want to wait til mid-September until the assault weapons ban is gone...

    Back to Basics-- A 12 ga. and a .38

    IMHO most non-enthusiasts can make it with a basic battery. Here in Europe, where we are only allowed a certain number of guns, we are even forced to choose. But for somebody who is allowed to carry, I can't get under 4 guns: *primary (carry) gun- Glock 23 *spare gun of the same type (if...

    Most likely SHTF near you?

    With several nuclear power plants all around Austria, and with the east block technology involved, my biggest SHTF concern is a Chernobyl scenario (either accident or terrorist attack). My house is in the "kill zone" of two czech power plants, so I would have to bug out even if I survived the...

    What HtH course would you say?

    Definitely look into the Insights training centre style classes. http://www.insightstraining.com/default.asp During holidays in Atlanta, my brother and I took David Blinders http://www.personaldefensetraining.com unarmed self defense class, which is styled after the Insights system (he...

    Dog Psychology...

    Interesting articles: http://www.doggiedoor.com/aggressi.shtml When working with an aggressive dog (or any dog) it is very important that you teach with praise. Using aggression to solve aggression simply doesn't work. You want to harness your dog's WTS so that he becomes happiest when he...

    Review my "bump in the night" drill.

    Hi! I understand & the shotgun will fill its role too- maybe most of us think too much in terms of equipment anyway. A few years ago, I got a Rottweiler lady companion for my very small german sheperd mix. I rescued her from the local shelter and altough my first dog was 5 years older, they...

    Review my "bump in the night" drill.

    Your reason to protect the small dog sounds fine with me. But: ever thought about giving your dog a bigger compadre? Small dog/big dog teams are a lot of fun & awesome when it comes to home defense- ones the barking, one does the biting thing... :D Ever had formal training? One thing I would...

    Wanna go to school, which one, which class, and why?

    FoF is nice, but a rounded, adrenalin based, hard wired combat system is more valuable. If you are allowed to carry and you are in for just one class, this is what I would take. Close Quarters Confrontations (Insights Training Centre): InSights Training Center Instructors have taken their...

    I want a home defense dog, but don't want to keep it in the house.

    Thumbs up!! THAT is how a dog should live! Regards Cato

    I want a home defense dog, but don't want to keep it in the house.

    Hi! It would feel quite strange to me to have a family member sleep outside- especially if he has a short coat. The most important thing to remember about dogs is that they are pack animals, genetically bred to work, play, eat, and sleep with company. You do your dog a disservice if you keep...

    Suggested Guard Dogs that Don't Shed like crazy?

    If you want a compadre, who will love, warn and protect you, at least try to go first to your local shelter or organizations like "Rottweiler Rescue" http://www.rottrescue.org/ or Ridgeback Rescue http://www.ridgebackrescue.org/ People there will have done already basic obedience training...

    .223s, Twist Rates & Bullet Weight

    Conservative rule of thumb: 1/7 55gr. to 77gr. (maybe up to 100gr.) 1/8 50gr. to 75gr. 1/9 40gr. to 68gr. (some 1/9 barrels stabilize even 75gr.) Lots of answers here: www.ammo-oracle.com
