Enhanced interrogation = not quite torture, but some may consider it abuse. BACKGROUND: I carried a Springfield XD-9 subcompact for a few years, but it was not a convenient EDC option for me because of the thickness and weight combined with my clothing. Texas summer is long, and in winter I...

Do you have a formula to calculate how far downrange the sound of a gunshot will catch up with the bullet?
