just compiled the following table. . . personally, i'm a fan of nice round numbers so have decided for optimal carry 2200 total grains of total bullet weight coupled with 5920 ft. lbs. p.e. vs. 2844 total grains of bullet weight coupled with 7074 ft. lbs. p.e. what ya'll think??? :mad...

How many handguns do you own? How many of those are concealable? How many are revolvers? If revolvers, yes, how many are concealable? These are the obvious questions that come to mind. Keep in mind that i am a minimalist at heart. . . :o - MN :)

i would say that it isn't wise for you to make assumptions such as: 1. my saying that it is unwise for inexperienced, civilian, or typical handgun users not to take a course such as you described 2. i have not taken handgun courses- safety or otherwise 3. i accused you of Tough guy talk 4. i...

Killing from considerable distance, while hearing or seeing boom, without seeing one's enemies within a sight scope or similar is not something i have had experience with, so i can not talk to that nor its after effects or lack thereof. i would be lying if said that 2 out of 3 walks and the...

Also, i am not sure where you are from, or where you live, but i live in a pretty nice area for our locale, and if i take myself out my front door for a 5 or 6 mile walk for general excercise, 2 times out of 3 i will be approached, threatened, perhaps a gun pull feign from within an auto by some...

Like the Navy K-Bar, Riot Earp. Some people just don't understand. Thanks for sharing. - MN :)

JShirley, Thank you for your reply. As an Admin, i respect your responses and insights very much. That said, if i ever find myself in fear of my life and need to draw my pistol on a perp, if i can get away without having to kill another human by calling 911, i will. i am not sure if you...

So a 1450 ft/s 125gr .357 mag round will expand much more than a- 1000 ft/s 90gr .380 round even though they are of an identical diameter? That's why the .380 will penetrate 10" ballistic gel, as will the .357 mag? ? ? Thank you in advance, - MN

The worst thing that could happen, imo, would be for a perp to initiate a life threatening, intimidating incident, a law abiding citizen pull a baton, and then the perp draw a pistol. That's why in a real pinch, and i'd make sure it was a real pinch first, i'd forego the baton for pistol draw...

Take a look at the video at the bottom of the page of the following link: - http://www.hornady.com/store/380-Auto-90-gr-Critical-Defense/ The video is of a 90gr 9mm diameter hollow tip penetrating through a layer of FBI down. Hornady states 1000 ft/s for this round out of a 4" barrel...

just put the following tip on one of my two canes: - http://www.treelineusa.com/walking-sticks-and-canes/stick-tips/brass-climbing-tip.html A bit of information: - fine thread screw on tip -- cane will need to be whiddled down into a taper to accomodate tip internal geometry and threading...

have you ever carried a baton? drewcifur, yes, 16" collapsable. about eight" when collapsed. but only for doggies when i am not carrying my derbie cane, and let me add a bit of assistance for you, neighbor. i add a little cheek cosmetic to the grips when when i do- purely for added depth and...

Cig Sour will be offering the P226's with the y tu grip similar if not identical to the P229 soon as well. . . Both show widths of 1.5" per the website so are looking identical at this point. . . Wait around for a bit and i'll bet you'll be pleased. Should be great to have the P229 as...
