Mainsail, To be completely honest I think an opinion of an opinion passed off as fact is pathetic. You will never see me quote anyone than the original poster to give a requested response. After 12 years of military and 8 in LE I stand by my opinion. Secondly, I think you misunderstood my post...

All three handguns are in a number-punch safe on a shelf (eye-level) in my bedroom closet... 10 feet from my side of the bed. All are chambered. Along with flashlights and a IIIa ballistic vest. I live in a big house in a rural setting. I have a greater worry of my son getting to them than I...

Concealed Carry... always. If I were a bad guy, open carry would not deter me from anything. I would simply alter my tactics to take you out first... and possibly gain more firepower. You are giving up the element of suprise, and automatically drawing attention to yourself. I believe that what...

Yes! I live in a populated but rural area. I go running often (and carry a S&W BG .38 or .380) and often get chased by aggressive dogs. There are also coyotes where I live. I have seen them while running at odd hours. Although the coyotes have never been aggressive, I keep in mind that they can...

Others have already covered this to one extent or another, but I would be most concerned about stress shooting. Being shot at is very different than shooting paper. I would research stress shooting, or attending a training course if possible. In a real situation, the flood of adreniline and...

I too love the M-1 Carbine for historical reasons and use to own a newer Auto Ordinance one... but I'd half the agree that the M-4 (AR-15) has made it obsolete. Similar in cost, weight and round capacity, the AR is far for versitle and accurate. AR s can be chambered 6.8, 6.5, 7.62 Soviet, .300...

I have a SAS Ti Arbiter can in .308/7.62 . I use SAS flash suppressors on all my uppers. I use the same can for anything .308 or smaller. I find it much more cost effective. I used in on 5.56 and it worked fine. The subs were quiet. I often use it on 6.5 Grendel supersonics.

I have a BG .380 with no problems. But I've only put 100 rounds through it. I use it as my ankle gun.

At night, M-4 over my head, no sights, out the drivers hatch of a M-117 into a Baghdad store front picture window... out the side wall picture window... at Ali babas. Why? Cause my Team Leader's weapon jammed because he used too much CLP in a desert enviroment... and I was afraid that if the...

I say "firearm" to the airline and LE , "Weapon" in the Army, and "guns" are indirect fire platforms that typically belong to the Army or the Department of the Navy... unless you are a redneck :D

If I may add: 6.8 and 6.5 Grendel work great out of a .308 can, no noteable loss in performance. I too doubt you can get 6.8 to cycle, at least not reliably or easily. If the weapon does not successfully perform all 8 cycles of function, I would not say it cycles. I would not buy the Extreme...
