Some thoughts from another BTDT kinda guy... 1. Discuss sleep meds with your doc. Long term use is generally not a good idea, they can become addictive (not saying you are... just beware). 2. Call your Military Family Life Coordinator (MFLC). You should be able to get the number from...

Once 911 is called, in most places the police are obliged to show and check it out. Unless there's a reason to clear the house to ensure safety of family in other rooms, may as well wait for the cops to show and back you up while going through the house together. Not a flame, just speaking...

ttt!

Seeing the video over again brings back a lot. Definitely shows how lethal a .22 can be, even if the exploding rounds didn't work. The comment on the video about not wearing body armor that day is very telling. A lot of lessons to remember.

(Re 2: Reagan) From Wikipedia (trust if you wish): The pistol Hinckley used "had been loaded with six "Devastator"-brand .22LR cartridges, which contained small lead azide explosive charges designed to explode on contact. The rounds were not manufactured in the U.S.; any bullet which contained...

It's interesting to see no one has pointed out the difference between merely killing a bear with whatever round is chosen vs stopping a deadly attack. A .357 will kill a bear, but will it stop one during an attack as quickly as something like a .454? A few extra seconds of life in the bear...

Speer has a dandy 135 gr HP too, just to add to the confusion.

I've been using an Uncle Mike's cheapie IWB, size 8 I think, for my SP101, .357, 2 1/4", while I contemplate the same leather question. The Uncle Mikes does cover the trigger completely, but doesn't extend up to cover the hammer. When worn over a T-shirt and under and overshirt it's plenty...

Coming from Alaska where I carried while fishing due to browns I often forget about their smaller blackie bro's. A .357 aimed well will do a far better job than any larger caliber aimed poorly. For griz with a denser skull, though, a .44 or higher solid is more likely to penetrate. But quite...

+1. That, or a .44 in the same, if .454 is too much a handful for you (need to be honest with yourself). A .44 with solids will work too, and is what I have (SRH .44, 7 1/2" SS; bought long before the Alaskan model came out). The heavy long barrel makes followups quick, but a shorter barrel...

Man, that is wrong in sooo many ways. :eek: But, if you put some spinners on it, maybe... :evil:

I don't know what they have for statistics, but typically courses are built off experience from real world ops fed back into the training pipeline. So my assumption is that some statistics from previous wars are used, coupled with analysis of one-on-one scuffles in Iraq and Afghanistan. The...

"How do we know this to be true? Are there any reliable statistics? Can we show that BGs are more likely to take an automatic out of battery than to grab the cylinder of a revolver?" I don't know the answers to those questions... I trust the instructors of the CQB and pre-deployment Air...

Awesome! I've fired an email to TruGlo asking when the sight will be available for SP101s. I doubt I'll hear back, but if enough people ask for it maybe they'll pay attention.

All good points, whether in ACUs halfway around the world, or in a suit in any big city.

General Order Number 1B (GO-1B) 2. Prohibiited Activities: a. Purchase, possession, use, or sale of privately owned firearms, ammunition, explosives, or the introduction of these items into the USCENTCOM AOR.

"What I'd like to see is an F/O sight with a tritium vial inlaid lengthways underneath the F/O. The best of both worlds." That would be awesome. Anyone from the big names reading this? Count me in for a test run!

"Ever grab the cylinder on an uncocked revover?" Most BGs will grab the closest piece of weapon to them in a scuffle, and attempt to get leverage and gain possession of the weapon or at least try to control where it points, not reach past the barrel and grab the cylinder. Your point is...

"Are there any circumstances where the simplicity of operation of a revolver, particularly a DAO revolver, might actually make it better choice as a combat sidearm than an autopistol?" Absolutely. Speaking as a recently returned Air Advisor who worked hand in hand helping a foriegn military...

I'd thought about that too, but have heard the tritium sights were over-rated and weren't as bright in most cases except total darkness. Since I holster carry the fiber-optic tube type sight would be protected mostly. Good conerns, though. Anyone with the tritium or fiber-optic tube sights...
