Did anyone else notice that the perp has what looks like a collapsible baton or metal rod in his left hand and that’s what struck the pistol? She should have lit him up much earlier but that’s probably not politically correct in these more enlightened times. SMH

How big was the target?

I’d take a 5.56 x 45mm 14.5”or 16” barrel carbine with 55 grn M193 FMJ over ANY pistol caliber weapon regardless of being able to use HPs in the PCC all day, everyday. Sure it is loud but is immeasurably much more effective. The 5.56 M16/ M4 has been used in CQB from Hue to Fallujah to Outpost...

Check with the range as it depends. Here, I’ve found only one range that allows buckshot. The indoor ranges are slug only. The outdoor ranges only allow birdshot when shooting skeet, trap or clays and slugs only on the rifle range. I’ve found one outdoor range where you can rent a bay and shoot...

If you must have 115 grain rounds, go with the Speer Gold Dots or the Federal 9BPLE +P+. The 9BPLE +P+ is an older design but pushed at a very high velocity. It has a fearsome reputation for putting the hurt on bad guys.

This Sunday I ordered 2 Mec-Gar 15 round magazines for my Sig P229 9mm. I got them today. This is the first time doing business with Greg Cote and it won’t be the last. Great prices and fast shipping, what’s not to love?

I guess it depends on what you mean by CQB. If I’m going to be in combat in a military or paramilitary sense in and outside of structures, then I’ll use a self loading rifle with an optic without hesitation. I have a rifle set up and ready but this scenario occurring is pretty remote. A much...

Cheaper Than Dirt, notorious price gougers from way back, are at it again.

I would jump at the chance to get one. They have very smooth actions.

I like it. I would much prefer it with just a bead front sight though. I really like the looks of riot guns with wood furniture. I have a Remington 870 Police Magnum 6+1 with walnut furniture on order and can’t wait for it to come in. I’m an 870 guy as I’ve had one since the early 70s and...

My Little Armalite

I would get them some Remington .38 Special 158 grain Lead Semi-wadcutter Hollowpoint +P rounds. I've found the old FBI load very controllable out of a 4" Model 19 and much more effective than those target wadcutters.

They did about 25 years ago. There were "Russian Capture" Mauser 98s for sale all over the place. You must be a youngster not to remember that.

Wrong... The aircraft carrier is what made the battleship obsolete. While a battleship could destroy anything within the 20-something mile range of its main guns, the planes from a carrier could do the same from hundreds of miles away. The fate of the British battleships Prince of Wales and...

I think she did very well. She stayed hidden until they started heading into the part of the house she was in. When she engaged them she took the initiative from them and used speed and violence of action to "keep up the skeer" on them as Nathan Bedford Forrest would have said. I think that "ole...
