In Response to Armored Man, I thoroughly agree with KleanBore. If possible, retreat to an area that would be safe for you and your family. In response to your query about Holder, I would like to offer the following observation: I can see a self defense shooting (especially if multiple...

Gentlemen, As someone who went to graduate school in an extremely dangerous city (Detroit) for four years of my life, and have a number of friends who are attorneys, I would like to offer some words of advice. I have learned alot of valuable advice on this forum, but I feel the last few pages...

Hey all, I was shown this link last night by my cousin who is a cop. As I have been in a close call position before (I used to live in downtown Detroit) I wanted to share it with you. The video is honestly very graphic. Thankfully the men viciously assaulted in the video survived but had...

Hey thanks for the responses! Keep them coming. I like Springfield's warranty, but I would rather have a gun that is fairly perfect from the box. I have seen Fulton Armory's products, but it seems like they have no selection in a 16 inch barrel length and I actually like the lines of...

Hey all, I am looking into investing in an M-14 pattern rifle. I have had the opportunity to fire at friend's SOCOM, essentially an M14 pattern rifle made by springfield with a 16 inch barrel. I was very impressed. I was considering purchasing the Springfield rifle except after some...

does anyone know about the law in michigan in regards to an assailant attempting to break into your home? Is shooting in self defense permitted in this case?

Hey allm A few recent comments about pack violence (and myself almost a victim of this at a gas station), I was wondering if any training options exist for people to have some exposure to this situation. I was looking into taking a simple pistol course, but to me there is a huge difference...

Im glad I got quite a bit of discussion going. Just as an FYI, the last thing I would ever want to do in life is brandish a pistol. I consider firearms as (naturally) a last resort. I think I have gotten some good responses so far, but where I live (Detroit), I think that sometimes it comes...

Hey All, So I think winchester has the best handgun ammo around. I like their Ranger series the best. Nevertheless, when compared to Federal etc I notice a few differences: 1.) Winchester has grit in the primer- this is most noticeable with their new supreme elite series. I know the...

So I was checking previous threads, and the following scenario was described earlier. Here is a twist. This situation I felt hasnt been discussed and I find it entirely plausible: So you are by yourself, walking to your car, and either a lone BG or a group of thugs comes your way. You...

Just curious, what ammo was in the 9mm? Were you unable to move? sorry for the "stopping power" questions. I dont mean to be rude. I am glad you are safe and this will be a powerful lesson to all of us here at THR. -Thanks

So in response to a few comments, I can understand where you are coming from. Getting groceries at 9 pm in Detroit...is he nuts? I can't blame you. When you live here though, you just adjust to a new normal. People that look like your typical thug just don't stand out as much- it's pretty...

Good point Hatteras, but Im at a student at a major university pursuing a graduate degree. Perhaps the most difficult part of this crime, and where I live in general, is that the bad guys dont have anything to lose anymore. It takes a lot to carry a f**king 870 under a coat. Im glad that it...

btw the cops took approximately 17 minutes to get to the scene- buddy was without a cell phone etc.

cam, good point. Just an FYI, no large grocery stores are open within 15 miles of detroit- the biggest we have are rite aid. Trust me, being in this city is wearing on me. The politically correct BS we go through every day is insane. Google "Tigh Croff", a security guard whose home was...

Dear Friends on THR, Yesterday I heard some horrible news- a friend of mine in Detroit, who is also a graduate student in engineering, was carjacked in downtown Detroit while buying groceries. I moved out of the city a year ago. Don't be fooled. The reports that crime, in particular...

Hey all, From what I hear Double tap's "bonded defense" may be "montana gold dots" not speer gold dots. I saw a few gelatin tests online with the montana gold dots, and they dont seem to be as good of performers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsGnDtgVHc0 This is a video to back this...

So I really enjoy the Lee-Enfield Design. Unfortunately most models on display at gun shows have a significant amt of abuse. Anyone make good reproductions of these fine rifles? Thank you very much

thanks! anyone who owns one know for sure?

As a new owner of an 870 police, I have a few questions about the 870 pmax. 1.) I have noticed that these come with a +2 magazine extension. Are these 6 round tubes welded on at the factory, or is it the standard 4 welded round tube with a Remington removable +2 magazine installed? 2.)...
