    Home Invasion Defense: Slim bullet vs. Fat bullet

    Here are Mike McNetts gello results: I'm partial to the 45 Gold Dot, but at 1100 fps, since I don't have to buy a new gun, just use 45 Super. Of the above loads, the 165gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1400fps - 14.25" / 1.02" and 180gr Gold Dot JHP @ 1300fps - 15.25" / .96" loads both give me warm and...

    Smith 642, Smith 340pd/MP, or PM9 for this summer?

    I was hoping you could see the print on the 360 barrel. "no less then 120 grain bullet." Something about lighter bullets breaking a very thin forcing cone... Just have the hammer bobbed on the 360 and it doesn't catch.

    Smith 642, Smith 340pd/MP, or PM9 for this summer?

    This is for those highly unlikely times you find yourself in a situation you wish you weren't. Taking out the trash, going places you need a weapon concealed, but don't think you are going to face any threats. Most bad guys RUN when they see a gun. If they don't, then you're in pretty...

    What Is The Best Pocket-Carry Gun For A Beginner?

    S&@ 340 and 360PD, as well. Start with .38's and work up, or just carry with 158 LHPGC .38 Plus P buffalobore.com.

    O.K. guys-talk me in or out of 10mm

    10mm is nice, but, it sort of starts running out of case capacity when the bullets go over 170 grains or so. 45 ACP, or better Super, is really nice, because some of us feel 230 grain HP's are sort of the minimum for SD use. Faster you push them, sooner they open up, so it's hard to get...

    Why did .45 Colt go into decline?

    It's a huge case, and, with modern powders, much of that case capacity is wasted. If the case isn't filled, you can have velocity fluctuations, or kabooms.

    Where do Honolulu residents shoot?

    Well, I lived there for 10 years. Brought my Seville 45 Colt/454 level, only. Great guy helped me with reloading stuff. Problem is, you can't get anything OFF the island that's loaded. Can't get much ammunition from off the island, and, once made, shipping is so expensive, you better shoot...

    DC Brief Released!

    Safest way would be for a Constitutional amendment, extending the 2nd amendment against the states, and federal government, meaning in plain language "no law" regulating firearms sale or ownership.

    Can My Employer Search My Car

    First off: State law governs government search of your car. Find out what it is. Since we don't know who your employer is, and how they are related to the state, we can't speculate. If it is a school that falls under your states education code, the law may support their right to search

    DC Brief Released!

    Many decisions by the court are feelings, and principals, rationalized by law. This is what really concerns me. I feel, at least in Kali, that law is now so massive that it severely limits our basic right of freedom, and, the gun laws are certainly part of that. I'd like to have more...

    considering a new ccw piece...

    HMMMM. First Glocks. Since your current carry gun is reasonable size, my picks would be the Glock 39, that's the 45 GAP that's the same size as the 26, the 29 and the 30. I currently carry a 360PD, that, once you buy it, you can spend the balance of your funds finding grips you like...
