Must be nice lol I'd love to just step onto my deck and fire a few rounds. I'd be shooting all the time

My apologies, I will go back and read the rules, and refrain from such posts in the future.

Very fair point. That's why I wouldn't ever connect an online persona with my actual identity. I'm saying that shooting to kill is stopping the threat, 100%.

I wouldn't shoot to maim, I wouldn't shoot to stop (whatever that means, how many videos have we seen of people dropping then getting back up), I would shoot to kill. That's a 100% stop for sure. I know that opinion isn't really shared anymore; heck even the death penalty is being criticized...

Why would you not? A dead attacker means the risk has dropped to 0. Zilch, nada, threat eliminated.

I practice for the most likely scenario, which means less than ten yards. I'm quite confident at those distances. My place of work would be the highest chance of needing to defend myself, and that distance would be much like the scenario in question...over the counter. I had to fight off this...

Yes, I assume that if I gun is being pulled on me, I'm about to be shot. And yes I plan to avoid being killed, which means killing my attacker. I'd rather be fighting for my life in a hospital than dead on the street. Could I have possibly complied, handed over my goods, and the perp run away...

Idk I'm from Texas, the southern border to be exact. Criminals down there are of a different breed (you ever see 5 bodies hanging from a bridge with their arms chopped off? Only a few miles from your house?) I'm of the mindset that if you pull a gun on me, you intend to take my life. I intend to...

From most all I've read, the general consensus is if somebody pulls a gun on you, you shoot.

And why is that? Because "most" criminals don't act that way? A dangerous assumption to make in my opinion

It seems as of late that robbers plan to shoot https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/cpd-warns-of-violent-robberies-in-the-city-at-least-12-reported-monday-morning/

I wonder if those have issues with flat tips because they're single stack. Do you get the noses diving down on a full mag? I ask because my Beretta 81 will eat anything.

I'm with this. Assuming he has the gun on you first, you "comply" and make an opening for yourself. You just need to have them lose focus for 1 second to draw and fire.

What are some ways you keep your brass from going over the firing line? I'm thinking a blanket on the table so cases don't bounce, but any other tips are appreciated.

Different strokes for different folks, no definitive answer as the person shooting is a massive variable. I agree shooting each others guns is the way to go.

When you have average groups like that, the flyer's are purely mental. Need to develop a checklist in your head that you follow as soon as you step up to the line, and run through it every single shot. If you mess up, step back from the line and go again. Do that and you'll have less flyers. Not...

Well I got it all figured out now. After sizing bullets down to .309", loading at the proper oal, and priming on press; my rounds look much better. Seems like 2.2gn of red dot is most accurate. Thanks for all the replies!

I've looked at those. They definitely look nice, and the fine adjustment is a plus. How do they hold up?

I'm tired of having my old belt sag on me. I've had it for almost 20yrs, and I think it's time to retire it. Was a good belt, dutifully carried a quiver of arrows for years (I shot quite a bit of competition archery back in the day). But I need something new. Any belts out there I can buy once...

Only seems to do it with my reloads. I may have been priming too hard, some primers had distortion right after priming (using a hand primer). Priming on press seems to be cleaner, I'll try that and let you guys know.
