    What has happened to THR

    Eventually all things change. I like the THR Test style. Looking forward to seeing how everything works. Thanks for all the hard work!

    Any home security camera experts here?

    Web/phone based alarm systems require that the Web/phone service to be up and running. It's not very hard to cut incoming phone wires/internet cables coming into a house. They also require power. Not too hard to cut the seal and pop out the power meter as well.

    Las Vegas shooting

    Excellent link. One question, what is a "VCA"? Obviously, he's referring to the bad guy but I haven't seen that acronym before. Violent - Criminal - ???

    Absolutely! And herein lies the crux of the entire matter. When it comes right down to it will you have what it takes to take another persons life? I imagine that most of us on this forum would state, "without a doubt I could do it if necessary." It's not that easy. It's a terrible...

    Shooting silhouettes was a blast. I was active back in the 80's and early 90's. Only open sights back then. I probably ranked in the top 25% in my region but I was far from the best. It's way too expensive for me now, not to mention that my 70+ year old eyes won't cooperate anymore, at...

    shooting distance

    The 50 meter target is a chicken. Body area about the size of an 8" circle. 100 meter is a javelina (pig), 150 meter a turkey (it has a smaller body area per distance than the chicken) and finally a ram at 200 meters. Production class is just that, a stock production pistol, not like the...

    Fox News : Sonic, Chili’s join restaurants with no-guns policy

    All of the Sonic's in my area are drive in's only. How would anyone know if you were carrying or not unless they walk up and peer through your windows?

    I guess you've never been to an IHMSA match. Big Bore Pistol matches start at 50 meters and go to 100 meters, 150 meters and finally to 200 meters.

    Todays gun rags are just that. Crap.

    I still miss Jack, Skeeter and Bill.

    shooting distance

    Well, you're right. Actually, at the range and under no stress, the 2" circle is easily obtainable with the P239. Probably more in the order of 95% to 97%. I may have gotten carried away with trying to make a point and exaggerated some. When I was younger I could keep inside a 4" circle at...

    shooting distance

    To answer your question, which I have highlighted above, yes I can and no I can't. If I had my competition Dan Wesson 44 mag 10" barrel revolver, and I was at the range shooting at a target at 15 ft., I could hit the 2" circle until I ran out of ammo. So the answer is yes. If I were using...

    I totally agree with you. Some of my post was hyperbole. The main point I was trying to make is that slow-fire accuracy goes right out the window when you are in fear for your life. Arguing about the distance at which to train is not productive in my opinion. If we could somehow...

    shooting distance

    I believe the ideal "self defense" training protocol would include a target that is rushing at you while firing AT you. When you are in actual fear of losing your life, heart pounding about 200 beats a minute and your body being flooded with every drop of adrenaline possible, your ability...
