    Best low-penetration home defense round for a 1911?

    IMO the 12 gauge is the HD tool. I've grown up around guns and have my share of shooting experience. However, I've rubbed my two brain cells together and called it a think tank session about what will likely happen if my home is invaded. Adrenalin -nerves- uncontrollable fine motor skills . I...

    Glock, loaded chamber, HD?

    I keep two Glocks each in their own nano safe in the vehicle and with loaded mags but no round chambered. Same in the house. I have two kids. It takes long enough to turn the combo wheels to get the gun out that there is no need to keep one chambered to sacrifice that safety for the one...

    Love Glocks, hate the company

    I've been listening to the same sermon as VooDoo. I didn't even think I wanted or needed a .380. Had traded a Bersa years ago. love Ruger's company service and own a pile of them, except the LCP.. One of the biggest sellers in the country. The metal .380's are too heavy for me. Might as...

    Glock 42 as primary EDC

    My first 9mm was a full size Sig, so it was a major surprise the first time I felt the recoil from Kel-tec's subcompact 9mm. I can manage it, but definitely snappy. My range partner that first day just said it's not something he wanted after a magazine spent down range. It's small enough...

    Glock 42

    I think you are on to something with the grip, VooDoo. I've seen elsewhere where thumbs/grip is a problem theory. Saw a YouTube video also where thumb rubbing slide was causing issue.. Little different but it's just the larger framed, more powerful guns aren't bothered by the thumbs on the...

    Glock 42

    Nice feedback VooDoo. I have put a box of the Winchester Train and Defend through mine and no issues at that time. This new Glock may be more sensitive to "limp wristing" . My inexperienced shooter on our range test day was a big fella and had a strong technique... We've stuck with the...

    A range day with 9mm's

    Nothing better than a happy range day... And I had to look up "flummoxed".. I was wrong. You were not a victim of spell check.. :) ...I was a victim of uneducation.

    Glock 42

    Finally got some trigger time on the new baby glock today. Ran perfect with 4 different brands of FMJ 95 gr. Blazer, Winchester, Remington, and PMC. Left in a hurry and didn't have any hollow point/defense ammo in the bag. Jury still out on that. I was very pleased. 3 different shooters...

    Watched "Cops Reloaded" earlier, perp hit with 380

    I'm new to this particular forum, but comparing to most "caliber debate" discussions, that's the most responses that I've seen in a while that didn't end in all out and out bloodshed argument , the herd stampeded, and two pigs stolen. :) It seems that most agree shot placement is most important...

    40 s&w- which guns can handle it?

    I have had a glock model 23 since the early '90's. Never a moments trouble. I'm a Colt SAA as well as other Colt models and USFA SA collector... I like my 1911's, but I feel the most secure with that 40 S&W caliber. When loaded with defensive ammo, it wreaks havoc much more noticeable than...

    Watched "Cops Reloaded" earlier, perp hit with 380

    I did a little internet searching last night to try to find out any real documentation or studies done by or using law enforcement statistics or an authoritative agency. Only thing I could find quickly was more debate. The debate starts and stagnates with the parameters of what should or...

    Watched "Cops Reloaded" earlier, perp hit with 380

    Don't get me wrong though... I believe the safest is to have both .. The 40 and the .380 as a backup. If I were to have to protect myself from being attacked, I would have been attacked Ina way that I could not see coming at the moment, and would like an option of which gun I could get to if...

    Watched "Cops Reloaded" earlier, perp hit with 380

    A hole in a bucket near the top.. And above the waterline .. Still holds a lot of water. A hole in the bottom is a problem. True - a slightly bigger hole leaks a little faster. Hole location is everything. What I've found is if it's not comfortable to carry, then it won't be, and that's the...

    Glock 42

    I brought a Glock 42 home last Friday but have had no time to pull the trigger. I've got various brands of ammo to run through it and see what happens. Will give a range report when it happens. In the mean time, I've been viewing youtube videos of well known and experienced...

    New Model Bearcat Shopkeeper Accuracy?

    I just brought a Shopkeeper home in the last two weeks. I do plan to shoot it if I can get a moment or two. Will give a range report. I have a standard bearcat that does satisfactory. I like the way this shopkeeper looks with the ejector rod housing not being aluminum now..and matches...

    USFA Rodeos ... did they ship in a USFA box?

    I thought USFA did a good job packaging too. Very good protection yet box not taking up twice the space as other brands do.

    USFA Rodeos ... did they ship in a USFA box?

    Good catch Steve. I neglected to say that all the boxes starting in around 2000-2001 to present came with a cardboard sleeve. The sleeves remained the same length despite the black boxes length changing. USFA had two different box lengths at one time, depending on how long the gun was...

    USFA Rodeos ... did they ship in a USFA box?

    Happen to have this photo as I was showing the seller that the corner was torn... But you can see the label and box top. Most should have a dark gray cushion as seen in the second photo in the box bottom. Ps.. I was able to repair this box pictured as new again. There aren't too many...

    USFA Rodeos ... did they ship in a USFA box?

    All the USFA model guns came in the same style box. The box style varied slightly over the years, but all were a long rectangular black box. Starting From the early 2000's, the box was a 2 piece lift top black box until production ended. Previous style boxes were black rectangular with a...
