RE: Wilderness. A Browning Hi Power 9 MM would be fine for the wilderness. It will take small game and even deer from up close. I would be more worried about people in the wilderness than about animals. The BHP would be fine for that. Thirteen rounds and a range out to 50 yds. with decent...
I have several shooting buddies with Ruger SR 1911's and they love them and have had no problems. Re: Kimber...beautiful, well-made and very tight pistols. I have fired a few. The consensus seems to be that they function best after @ 500 rounds through them. But, to be honest, I have never...
I found those to be uncomfortable and the pistol hard to get to. I just wear my polo shirt/t-shirt outside my pants in any casual setting, and a light blazer or safari type jacket if I want it tucked in. I carry a BHP IWB at 4 o'clock and have never had a problem. I don't like mouse guns or...
Plan2live is correct. You should avoid SD situations if at all possible. Be alert...awareness of your surroundings and what is going on is primary. Learn to scan parking lots and stores, be aware of what is behind you, you can privately racial profile as a citizen and should do so, don't go to...
Just how do some of you think an SD encounter might take place? It will usually be sudden and unexpected if you are away from home; if you are at home, you may be alerted, but you will be inside your house in cramped spaces, possibly dark. Do you hunt for the intruder or wait until he comes to...
Practical? I can't imagine anything more practical than the simple, direct, Garand action of a Mini 14. Easy to clean, you don't need an assist to lock up the bolt, no parts in cleaning that need tweezers, quick on target and handles well.:)
I have never heard of 1911 leg as anything like a regular occurrence. In fact, I do not see how it is possible in someone properly trained in the handling of a 1911.
Bobson, the only thing I agree with you on about the 1911 is magazine capacity. I still carry a 1911 some, but in recent years I...
I second ROAshooter. BHP... I've carried and fired one for years..accurate, pleasing to handle and shoot, easy to maintain, and it is actually made of steel.:)
AK and Deaf, I am not talking about those of us with military and LE training. Could I make a head shot with my BHP under fire at SD distance...it is likely that I could, probably at a bit longer distance. I would not want that to be my only choice, however. I had in mind advice for regular guys...
It is a matter of odds. Odds are, the average shooter will miss a head shot. Under fire and under stress, odds are that center mass is the best option. If the bad guy is wearing a vest, then you have to change your tactics. It takes more time to line up a head shot, and assume the other guy is...
