    Any reason HST or SXT rounds would defeat ballistic vests easier?

    P0832177: that is a great guide and I will forward it to my friend who is making the purchase for his dept, though (of course) it doesn't address specific ammunition questions. dfaugh: another good point in regards to the +p+ issue, I will have to find out how much faster the rounds are...

    Any reason HST or SXT rounds would defeat ballistic vests easier?

    Re: FMJ vs. JHP, that's what I thought too, I figured that the hollow point would be EASIER to stop because it would expand more dramatically than a FMJ. The issue of the hollowpoint folding inward is maybe what they are alluding to, but no one came out specifically and said that. Good...

    Any reason HST or SXT rounds would defeat ballistic vests easier?

    Yeah, I figured as much. I am suprised that ballistic armor reps would not be more clear on this issue. Some folks suggested that the "cutting petals" of the SXT round would somehow penetrate more...I wasn't convinced on that one either. Any of you out there have a "Friend of a friend" who...

    Any reason HST or SXT rounds would defeat ballistic vests easier?

    An LE agency I am familiar with is testing out some new level 3A vests for their swat entry team. They asked for some sample panels to shoot for testing and evaluation. When the reps heard that some of the rounds to be shot included the Ranger SXT (the new/improved "black talon") they said that...

    Perverted responses to my private gun lessons advertisements

    Born and raised in LA. LA Weekly is the manifesto for the "proletariat." Yes, I have had my letters published by them, oh, about 10 years ago, back when they were at least edgy. Now, if I wanted to get a "full body" massage in my hotel room, LA Weekly would be my first choice to find a...

    Lost P7 M8 plunger retaining roll pin, I think

    Whilst cleaning my HK P7 I got caught up in scraping carbon desposit from strange places. One of them was a small hole located near the front end of the plunger (see this diagram http://hkp7.com/graphics/p7-manual_27_0001.jpg item number 20. I then managed to knock out pin 19 and LOSE IT! Any...

    NOLA and California highway patrol

    Yes, my 'net skillz are rusty (even though I have been pecking away at keyboards since just before Mosaic was the only browser), but can anyone provide a copy/link to the aforementioned videos?

    NOLA and California highway patrol

    Could someone please point me to the video if it is on the net of this incident? Nice picture Oleg, your casting decisions are great in that the model is attractive but not overly eroticized as some firearms posters are want to show, she looks competent!

    Hk 91 Flashhider groove trivia question

    Someone said to me recently, as I was shooting an HK 91, "Do you know what those notches are for on the outside edge of the flash-hider?" I replied that, indeed, I did not. He said, "They are there to allow the gun to be put up against a strand of barb wire, so that the bullet would be perfectly...

    Question About Rhodesia

    Africa was (and in some ways continues) to be a hotbed of East vs. West proxy warfare. There are several books on the subject of Rhodesians wars, I encourage you to go to Amazon or Powells and type in "selous scouts" "rhodesia accuses" and other like terms. I was always impressed by the RLI...

    SGVGC THR Shoot in Southern California

    The tac ranges are still pretty much just dirt berms. Some have picnic tables set up too. It is recommended that you bring in whatever you might need, including lawn chairs, tables, drink, etc. Middle of March, like sunday 12 or 19, is good for me, but I think we'll wait until after this...

    SGVGC THR Shoot in Southern California

    the main thing I like about the tac ranges is that you can be as NON tactical as you want. I would LOVE to shoot a blackpowder someday for instance, and the tac ranges let us just do things at our own pace. I am looking forward to the after action review from you guys out in Fish Canyon and...

    SGVGC THR Shoot in Southern California

    ahhh! I am SO sorry, I always check THR from work and other places and therefore miss the PM's and lost track of this thread! I could probably arrange a couple of the tactical ranges together at Burro Canyon! that way we could set up our own courses, targets, etc. last time we went,(last...

    SGVGC THR Shoot in Southern California

    Would maybe renting one of the "tac" ranges at burro canyon better meet our needs? Designate safety officers, "newbie" lanes, pistol lanes, rifles lanes and such. That way we could call our own line breaks and bring some more fun stuff to shoot as well. I am a member at Burro, also LE which...

    1,210 year sentence!

    yay! Finally I story I can comment on..because I was one of the investigators involved in it. He hit my city early on in the series. Our victim/witness thought he was a homeless guy due to his shabby appearance. He then hit a place in LA and an old school detective from LAPD looked at the...

    Underworld - The Evolution

    More angry...did you see the first one? ;) I am pretty sure Kate never smiled once in that film, which is part of the reason why I really liked it. Van Helsing was a really bad movie, in spite of Kate. This one I look forward to.
