If ever they make a green laser for my PT709 I will buy it. I have lots of experience shooting with a green laser, but on airguns. They will work perfectly at any normal SD ranges in daylight. Yes they are very bright at night. But that is not distracting to me. It actually helps to light up the...

First one shot was my fathers Astra .38 Special with a 6'' barrel. My first revolver was my first handgun also. It was a Astra Cadix .22, 4'' 9 shot. I loved it and even had a scope fitted for a while

I have not read all the posts, will do so later today. But if ever you are attacked by terrorist, which is a possibility these days... Are they not wearing body armor? They are usually not more than 4 people? Therefore I will not carry a higher powered .22 just for extra shots. If you do your...

Still carry cheap rounds:o S&B 9mm 115gr JHP. But I figure since so many carry .22 and 32 for SD that I am still a little bit better off, despite these rounds not being the best available:) I do want to start carrying 147gr and might do so soon.

Anyone tried this ammo http://www.handgunsmag.com/shot-show-2016/first-look-federal-hst-9mm-micro/ Just how much less is the recoil in pocket 9mm pistols compared to standard pressure 147gr 9mm ammo?

The 100gr is the 9mm. I have no idea if it is frangible

Who has any experience with these rounds? I dont see much on the net. How accurate are they? How fast? How reliable are they? Thanks

You are correct Greyling, sorry. I still recommend he gets a Sightron. It is not nice to buy a cheap scope that will just loose zero all the time. Its a big confidence breaker:)

The cheapest scope that held zero on my .22, I owned a lot of scopes, was a Sightron S2 4-16. The only reason I sold it was because it did not have enough adjustment per rotation on the vertical adjustment. Now I have a Bushnell 6500 4.5-30 scope on. Its overkill, but it is such a good scope and...

I am glad the NAA was your BUG only. At less than 35 fpe I do not want it to be my main gun:),

I carry only my Taurus PT709 9mmP with 7+1. No extra magazines, no knives, no flashlights. If I need a light there is a big one in my car. If my car is not close, my phone can provide emergency lighting. If I go to more dodgy areas or go camping or so, I take all my spare mags along and carry...

I will only carry one, as a backup. But to add, .22 can get the job done. This is proven via many reported shootings.

Perfect SD firearm you've got there:)

Since wadcutters are not totally useless, and more effective than any normal FMJ round, it begs the question... Is wadcutters in .32 pushing it or would they also prove to be rather effective, taking into account shot placement is even more critical? I have to agree that I will never count on...

And that is why I want to compare .38 wadcutters to 380 FMJ ammo. Besides the fact that it is in fact more reliable in these tiny pistols, it also offers more than enough penetration. To compare .38 Special JHP+P with 380 Auto is pointless as many people do not carry HP ammo in 380 Auto.

I will also not feel unarmed with .44 wadcutters. Beautiful gun you got there. May I ask how thick it is at the cylinder?

Did not think of that. Then you can carry +P rounds in a speed loader, just for when 5 wadcutters did not cut it, punn intended:D

Sorry, I should have mentioned I did not ask for myself. I carry a single stack 9mm (7+1) This question was asked by me as you always get asked at work or so what is the best option for a woman. Most people recommend a .380 auto. I would say that a .38 with wadcutters is a better option. But I...

Thanks, so with which one do you feel the most armed:D

No we are. But hollowpoints are never recomended by the experts for mouse guns, ie 380auto and smaller. And tests have shown that HP .38 special rounds do not expand that much. You do get those that do though, but my question remains.
