    Ammo Shortage merged threads, aka UberUltraMasterAmmoThreadOfPower

    Here in Oregon the ammo flows like water,at least in my little corner of it. Luckly I never had to endure a shortage or put up with insane prices. My ammo comes from friends that need never worry about things like a shortage or bans for example.Its good to have friends,and I'm always looking for...

    Interesting CCW shooting incident...

    Hello ti65, I thank you kindly for the informitive post you wrote. But truth be told,I would not have hired a lawyer and played the courtroom game,that whould be the last thing on my mind. The corse of action I whould take is something no one whould want to hear about.In fact you...

    How often do you practice/train for a defensive situation?

    Probably everyone on this forum carries,and I'm sure everyone has at least basic training in defensive pistol combat,but how ready are you to defend yourself against an attack? If you got jumped today,by say three gangbangers and had no choice but to shoot it out;whould you be both physically...

    what's the best?

    If you'er lookin' for a CC auto look no further then the Springfield XD40 subcompact. They run on average around $450-$550(though I got mine brand new for less then $300) They are extreamly accurate,I have no problems shooting 3"-4" groups at 50ft. They are very easy to strip,clean and maintain...

    Pick the WORST gun...

    I don't know if they'er still in production, but the worst damn gun I've ever had was a .25 caliber barretta(is that spelled right?). It took 7rds in the clip and had one of those flip-up barrels,I originally got the thing in trade from a guy who owed me money;I shoulda just waited till he had...

    whats ur back up weapon?

    My back-up gun is a S&W 640-3 .357 magnum, I wear it in a custom made ITW holster on the left side on the small of my back. I can shoot equally well with both hands though for my main gun(an SA XD40sc)I favor my right. When practicing at the range,(I go once a week) I commonly pull both my main...

    Liking revolvers more than semi auto's?

    I'm quite the revolver fan myself,I own 4 of them,(5 really,though I've retired it)but I also own 4 autos as well. Depending on what kind of mood I'm in I either carry a revolver or an auto and a BUG. I love the power and how simple and reliable my revolvers are,but I also love the HC mags and...

    Nice overall round for protection

    .40S&W is a fine round for self-defense,plenty of power, its abundent and fairly inexpensive and there are a wide variety of guns chambered for it to choose from. I myself carry a Springfield XD40 subcompact and load it with Speer Gold Dot .40+p ammo. It whould be a fine first gun for you,in any...

    BUG... really?

    I carry a SA XD40sc as my main gun. Its a great little SOB too,I can do a tactical reload and fire three aimed shots in under 3.5 seconds;but even the most dependable gun can jam and it could do it at the worst possable moment. Thats why I carry a S&W 640 magnum on the small of my back on the...

    Why the majority of semi-auto manufacturers stops at 45 ACP-40 S&W???

    The 10mm is a fine round and no doubt we'll soon see alot more companies offering the products you want. As to why you mostly find .40S&W and .45acp its because these rounds are more then adequate for the purposes that so many of us use them for. If you want more power so bad buy a gun chambered...

    Whats a good pistol for under $400

    Try to find a used Springfield XD or XDM,if you can't find one of those look for a Glock. On the other hand,if yer lookin' for a gun just so you have something at the moment and want a quality peice later when you can afford it take a look at Hi-Points;they'er dirt cheap and will do for the time...

    Is cheep .45 Ammo No MOre? Need Help.. Too Da*n Expensive

    PMC Bronze makes a halfway decent round,be it .357 or .45,and it goes for about $18 for a box of 50(at least thats what I pay). Forget Wal-Mart,all the chain stores rip you off. Find a good mom and pop place,if you become a regular loyal customer you'er more likely to get better deals then other...

    Mountain lions (or big dogs) protection...any regular defense HP loads is adequate???

    Although shot-placement is key, hollow point rounds work far better on humans then animals. I recommend .357 magnum or .40S&W+p FMJ rounds, they'll be far more effective for your purposes.

    opinions on home defense loads for a .357 mag revolver

    I whould recommend tryin' out CorBon 125gr .357 magnum DPX rounds before you settle on one of the others. For magnum rounds they are suprizinly' easy to handle,they blossum extreamly well so over-penitration is less of a concern. Although they are magnum rounds, the slug itself has no lead...

    If you HAD both, which would you carry? 642 or PF-9?

    The S&W,no qeastion. As to why... I've been shootin' S&Ws' since I was 12yrs old,and aside from dud rounds,they've always done me right. Now Kel-Tecs' on the other hand... Kel-Tecs' are what my friends and I like to call "Shoot n' Toss" guns. I'll let you the reader fathom the reason as...

    When would you stop resisting?

    My home is quite secure,anyone attempting to even gain accsess to my property whould find themselves in a world of hurt. For starters,I own 15 dogs;12 large schnuazers(which are very intemprate) 1 blue rott and 2 very large Saints'. They roam my property freely(its compleatly fenced in,and I...

    I own 2 AKs' and have 4 30rd mags for each,my wife has a Mini-14 and has 8 20rd mags for it. I recomnd buyin' 5-10 HC mags, just enough so it won't slow you down if yer on the move but enough to sustain you in a prolonged firefight.
