many thanks for your help LtDave!!

Hi, Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure if I can get a semiauto. I live in Finland and might be problematic to get the license. LtDave: that Schmidt-Rubin K-31 looks great! How expensive are the bullets? also, could you tell us what is the company that produces the left hand...

Hi, I was wondering: Is there some manufacturer that produces battle rifles - bolt action - for lefties, similar to: - Mosin Nagant - Mauser K98 - Springfield 1903A3 - Lee Enfield Mk 1 and chambered for 7.62 NATO? regards,

Hi, I was reading some threads in the forum: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=176672 http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=190374 and it called my attention that small caliber pistols (.380ACP) have a higher recoil acceleration than bigger caliber pistols (9mm Para...

Hi, what is it more useful in a self defense situation? a derringer or a folding knife? considering that you are carrying a bigger pistol as your main self defense weapon (M1911?). and the knife or derringer are intended only as backup. I think some members of this forum usually carry a...

someone else can comment about this shotgun? today I saw the MP-153 in a store. doesn't look like a high quality gun... but is it reliable? and/or accurate ? apparently, there is also a similar model: "MP-153 Semi-Automatic Shotgun For Practical Shooting"

Hi, interesting replies. btw, this is also a hypothetical scenario for me. I'm not rich, I don't have a bodyguard and I don't live in a city where these type of crimes occur... I described the scenario due this type of crime do happen (very often) in real life in many parts of the...

I heard about a similar case, when the person first gave the BGs his wallet, but the BGs cut him anyway (not a mortal injury though) and left. Then the 'victim' drew his weapon and shot the BGs. Long story short: the 'victim' lost the trial because the judge and jury agreed that his life...

The idea I like the most is first to move out of their line of attack, then draw. If you start a fight right there (BGs in front and behind you), I think there are good possibilities that you will get cut. It is very common that muggers carry a "razor blade" between their fingers too. And...

Lets say you have a very good job, big house, 5 cars… (wife, kids… ) In the city where you live, there has been many kidnappings… small bands of BGs that kidnap wealthy persons and ask for ransom. From the evening news, you know that the ending of the kidnappings is uncertain... in the...

Hipotetical scenario: You arrive at a bus stop around 7pm. There is only one other person there too. Some minutes pass and two other persons come to the bus stop. They are well dressed and don't look suspicious to you. As they arrive to the bus stop, one of them stands one meter behind...

Hi BluesBear, i hope your "IQ is above a bread crumb" so you can understand what I'm going to say: I never said that the "4 rules of gun safety" are useless. Of course they prevent many AD/ND; but I think that they are not perfect either and it is possible to improve them to reduce the...

Hi, Some conclusions: - Almost nobody in this forum is concerned with reviewing the "4 Rules of gun safety". They are fine as they are. Jeff Cooper wrote them right? Then, they are perfect as they are now. - Almost nobody in this forum is concerned with reducing AD/ND (guns are dangerous...

Hi, If I remember correctly, it is illegal in Suomi (Finland) to discharge a firearm within 150 mts from a structure. (then, I would need a place that is at least 300 mts - or more - in length and width ) I like this idea of building a backstop that it at least 5 meters high, a minimum of...

Hi, I was thinking something in the range of 10 hectares. But I haven't bought that 'piece' of land yet … (btw I live in Finland but I'm not finnish.) It is a project I have though, but it will still have to wait for a few years more… If I do it, of course it has to be big enough for...

Hi, After looking at http://www.theboxotruth.com/ (excellent webpage btw) it seems that for having a private outdoor range it would be enough to buy a small piece of land in the woods, make a big hole - like for an olympic swimming pool - and start shooting. :D - Is it legal to have...

hi all, thanks for the replies. Anyway, sometimes I think it might be useful to have some sort of non lethal weapon at hand (pepper spray maybe?) regards, Karhu

Hi, i found this story while using Google... .

Hi, Imagine a scenario where for example a drunk guy is bothering you. First with words but then he starts pushing you (no weapons involved). Obviously this is not the time for a gunfight and it would also be a bad idea to use a spyderco, but you don't want to get involved in any kind of...

Hi, this may be interesting to someone in the forum. I found it in EDC forum Don't play with loaded firearms: http://worksafevideos.com/photos/unique/shooting.html regards,
