    1986 Miami-Dade: .357 Magnum or .38 Special?

    This right here. The FBI, at one time, had the premier gunfighting course in LE. But they sat on their laurels and never really looked around at the world (to be fair neither did most of LE at the time). I was told by an old firearms instructor a long time ago that the FBI is really good at what...

    Do You Keep A Shotgun Available For Home Defense

    My old Mossberg 500 stands ready in the corner of my closet as my "artillery" - there's nothing outside our bedroom that I have to retrieve anymore (like kids). Anything that decides it needs to come through the door will be met with a hail of 00 buck. If it survives, it'll have to contend with...

    Which Handgun Caliber(s) Do You Think Would Be the Last To Go Extinct? The First?

    The two that will never die would be 9mm and.45 ACP. Otherwise no-one would have anything to argue about;)

    Rossi 92 in 357

    I have a Marlin carbine in .357 - hits HARD with 125-158 grain bullets. I have some 180 gr JUPs that I'm saving for a special occasion, but they are not unpleasant to shoot;)

    380, 38 snub or other for pocket carry?

    I occasionally pocket carry my LCP in a DeSantis pocket holster. It just lies flatter and prints way less than my 442.

    Pocket .380 vs Snub .38

    I own and shoot both, but for the situation described I'd go with the revolver; easy to use under stress.

    Finally have a Python

    Congratulations! I carried one as a new copper back in the 80's (because al the cool kids had one) but had to sell it. Wanted one ever since!

    Revolver on duty!

    Revolvers are popular with security companies because they are simple. While some Security Officers are gun people (sometimes to the extreme) most are not - in fact I had a district manager for a large company tell me that he specifically seeks out employees that know little to nothing about...

    Why are 3" revolvers rare?

    As has been stated, 3" revolvers fill a certain niche; they seem to be a perfect balance between a "duty" gun and an "off duty" gun. The final NYPD-1 guns were 3" DAO S&W and Ruger .38 Specials in...gasp...stainless steel (NYPD had previously banned stainless guns for MOS carry). The thought was...

    Subsonic vs Supersonic 9mm FMJ for self-defense

    If I was restricted to FMJ, I'd go heavy. More mass will give you good penetration and reduce over penetration (although I'm sure I'll get push back from the experts here).

    Do You Carry a Snubby? Why? Prove it.

    I carry a S&W 442 loaded with 125 gr JHPs. I do so more for sentimental reasons; I came up as a young cop with steel guns and wooden nightsticks. While I've carried a Glock of some sort almost exclusively since 2000 when I retired, but I just felt something was missing. I do find it a little...

    What is the most recent knife you bought?

    It's a Sanrenmu GB4-913P. They're going for about eighteen dollars US on Amazon. Its a great work knife that's easy to carry, easy to open, sharp (and easily resharpened) and won' t make me shed too many tears if I lose it!

    What is your minimum?

    My minimum is my Keltec P32. Definitely a "get off me" gun but I'm able to carry it places I couldn't carry something bigger. And, since Rule #1 is "Always have a gun" I'm covered.
