Nope, that's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is that I will find that when I need the gun to go "bang", it doesn't because I, for one reason or the other, failed to disengage the manual safety (be it by forgetting to do so or actually physically failing to do so due to poor...

Thanks, guys, I got the information I needed. As for the "cal", I was referring to the fact that the shells are for a 12 gauge shotgun. The mistake comes from the fact that, as drsfmd already guessed, I'm not in the US and in my language usually even local gunshops do not differentiate...

Alas, the boxes don't say anything about lead or no lead or nickel or any other material and I have read every single print on the damn things but to no avail. THere's nothing on the shells themselves either (nothing on the subject of materials anyway), so that's why I'm asking here.

Sorry to bring up an old discussion but one thing about it has been bugging me lately: I understand that taking off the thumb safety is a simple, small motion, easy to do even under stress. What I don't know is this: Since there are so many things that can go wrong in a fight, you would...

I'm looking for a durable red dot sight that can withstand cold, the recoil of a 12cal shotgun. The problem, however, is that the rail on which to mount the sights is 14mm wide (3mm or so thick) and most sights are made for 11mm rails (or so it seems in the shops I've been to). So are there...

I need to know if the contents of the shells are made of lead, tin, or if they are coated with nickle or some other material?

Tried Google but either my googling skills are bad or there's just very little info available on these. Browning Legia (67g, I think) Gamebore Clear Winner competition load, 12cal Torhammer 12cal Winchester 12cal Expert Line (double base ball powder) 36g, 78mm Winchester Super Speed gen 2...

bikerdoc, very good point! Geoff Thompson talks about that when he wrote about the guy, who had bitten a man's nose clean off in a bar fight. Nobody even went near the guy in a bar because he had such a rep for being a crazy ****er. I think Thompson called that a "psychological fence", meaning...

DAVIDSDIVAD, sorry, meant airsoft. Got the two mixed up as English is my second language. conwict, true, but since a knife beside the gun doesn't really hurt (and knives aren't that expensive either)... well, I'm a fan of the adage: "what happens to paranoid people? Usually very little." :D

Do you mean a good hit from a knife or a bad hit from a knife vs. a good hit from a gun vs. a bad hit from a gun? Yes, the question is rethoric but here's my point: a bad hit from a gun will do little else than annoy the attacker (e.g. the bullet just grazes a large muscle, barely making a...

I do have a knife beside my bedside table in addition to a gun because if you're really caught sleeping and someone's on top of you, a knife's sure as hell a better weapon than a gun. Ask yourselves this: if you were to wrestle with a guy, fighting for dear life, would you rather he had a...

Thanks a lot, found my belt!

Okay, looking for a black leather belt with a nondescript buckle. I've heard Beltman's are good but I need the belt pretty fast. Here's what a local shop carries: Bianchi B26 Professional DeSantis Holster Belt (suede lined) Don Hume B109 Holster Belt Don Hume B111 Holster Belt Filson...

If we're not living in a post-apocalyptic world where there are only a handful of survivors on the entire planet, two un-mentioned skills I've found very useful are the following: swimming unarmed fighting and crowd/person control Strange as it seems to me, some people actually couldn't...

Seems like a "hardware"-oriented (focusing on gear) instead of "software"-oriented viewpoint (focusing on skills and application) is quite common. Am I mistaken? I carry a knife in my boot but it's for groundfighting/FUTting, not a primary weapon. If someone takes me down and gets into the...

I second the last post. Pick a gun that you will carry and that you will like shooting A LOT. A lot of gun owners I know have many guns, pistols, revolvers, long guns, and how often do they go shooting? Maybe once a month, if even that. How often do they do dry firing drills? Practically...

Thanks for the quick reply!

Now that Obama has started his term as president, has he already reinstated the assault weapons ban and how has it affected US citizens? Are, say, AR15s on the list of banned guns? What about pump-action shotguns? Thanks for the info!

I'm doing background research for a crime novel and have gotten a few questions for those more knowledgeable about gunshot wounds and gunfights. I'll divide the post into two parts: the first part is about gunshot wounds and the second about the possibilities of scoring/getting hit in a...

Thanks for the info everyone. Seems like the SW will be working fine then. Oro, good point. Might make the swim a bit shorter then.
