Damn. Sorry to hear that, even if it was over 45 years ago.

Demko Freereign hasn't been mentioned yet.

I don't remember the news article mentioning anything about the head shot. As I recall, it made generic reference to the wrongdoers as having been shot. I have no idea what the DA's response was. That wasn't in the article.

As I recall, the Defender noted that the second villain did not appear phased by what had happened to the first, but once he had been shot himself, he began to move. The second and third shots made him move faster. Part of the Defender's stress was, (a) drawing his own firearm did not deter the...

This reminds me of a case years ago where a man walking with his girlfriend was accosted by several others. I’ll call him the Defender. It went something like this. (My recollections being what they are, the details are now muddied by time, but here goes...) Walking along a sidewalk, the...

Wins!

Thanks for sharing. That was fun to watch. I especially liked “run at your pace” because the results were great. Did the holster slow things down on the draw? Kinda looked that way.

1. Yes. 2. One. In case of need: malfunction, more shooting. 3. Sometimes. If I’m carrying the Shield, I’ll sometimes carry two spare magazines because it’s a single stacker with 7 or 8 rounds per magazine, depending. 4. Time on task. If I’m making a brief excursion with what I normally carry...

I'd go 9mm because I can buy it off the shelf around here, and it's cheaper. The .300 Blackout would be a special order item, and in that round, I'd rather have something outside the parameters mentioned.

As to response times when a criminal is knocking at the door… My experience: I was on the phone (in my kitchen) with 911 when the criminal entered the kitchen through a patio door. As it turns out, the police were already looking for the guy as he had earlier been reported in the neighborhood...

My 2-cents worth of contribution: do what you can live with. I live in a low-crime area of an already unusually low-crime city. After a home invasion in which my firearm was in another room (stored separately from ammunition), I changed my habits. The odds were very much against my ever being...

I have a Shield 2.0, not the plus, but I use a Tulster holster for it, too, and like it a lot. The plus version: https://tulster.com/m-p-shield-9mm-40-iwb-aiwb-kydex-holster-profile-holster-right-hand/

My fist-hand experience with home invasion validates what Ayoob says in the video. A handgun kept in the bedroom might as well be in another state when the bad guy shows up in your kitchen while you’re on the phone. Having a gun readily available, with the least amount of fuss, puts you miles...

Some things look wrong because they are. It isn't a puzzle to solve. Act accordingly. Don't take your eyes off the problem. Depart. Call police. That said, some people get into trouble because they don't believe danger and violence are real, or can affect them. The video shows two examples of...

Q: Has viewing these types of incidents caused anyone to switch from revolver to auto? A: No. Longer Answer: I switched from an 8-shooter .45 ACP to to a 16-round 9mm while working in a convenience store after a truckload of workers (12) stopped in, chatted in a language I didn’t understand...
