The ballistics dont bother me as much as that lack of having a primer does being its a rimfire. At least with a revolver it mitigates that aspect a bit better.

Pretty simple... distance matters as can creating distractions/diversions. You have to defend against a first strike before you can attack so taking cover as fast as possible is a given. You can de-escalte a lot of situations/confrontations with hostile minded or uncontrolled behavior people...

I prefer a manual safety of course. The majority of them are frame mounted these days making it easy to disengage under stress. Be nice if someone tried a front strap grip safety again with an audible or more positive click that stay engaged once the pressure was applied. A true DAO hammer or...

Correct. By "oldtimer" I mean older experienced shooters that have been around firearms for a long time and are responsible. The Veteran firearms enthusiast. All sorts of older reckless firearms handlers out there. When the firearm's industry exploded like it did a whole lot of people...

Strange offering from Rossi. Looks like it patterns fairly nice. Reminds me of the old Rexio SA Colt looking pistol. Might be a good platform for 357mag or 44. Good that they put a set of decent sights on it instead of a bead or just depending on that rail. Might be two ways to market...

Mark Mark, Did you ever run a thread or detailed post on your experiences with the Thunderstruck? Search didnt turn up anything for me unless I missed it.

Most of the regulars here are going to know these but Im just putting it in for those new to firearms that might stumble onto the thread. These channels offer consistently good/honest content that people can learn from. Im comfortable recommending these as they are consistent. There are...

There is really no difference in the days of old where we got our gun reviews from magazines compared to most of the reviews on youtube. Both can be equally misleading or bias. When the Colt All American 2000 hit the magazines in the 90s many writers were promoting it as some sort of second...

Whole lot of Wisdom in your post. Thank You

I wouldnt say this is a minor win at all. I would say its the biggest win they have. Im not sure people are putting the pieces together to whats going on with this in conjunction with their new data mining system/ registry/ whatever they are calling it now. The two go hand in hand. How...

I thought of another one thats not to bad. Hes not incredibly detailed but hes mature, calm. JustinOpinion is his channel. Nothing earth shattering in terms of content just decent reviews on pistols. I guess he is a little like Hickok45 without the flare.

Im not easily baited or intimidated and you dont impress me with your ignorant assumptions and comments ..... OKAY?

Possible downside is it could slow down new models and designs coming forward. Its worth it to me for people in California to have access though. Nothing really amazing coming out anyways for the most part. Probably see a bunch of these older models that were kept in production for CA roster...

No worries John Ska. Im just trying to keep people on their toes and not let themselves get sucked into a mindset thats not "balanced". Im speaking in more of a general sense about many new and younger CCW holders and not directing anything at particular individuals. You have clearly thought...

Thataboy FMK! Good for you David if you read this!
