    Always de-escalate the situation????

    Rather than that, consider expressing the fact that you are in fear and feel threatened. Particularly if there are witnesses present. I remember years ago interviewing victims of armed robbery and asking them, were you in fear of your life or great bodily harm? ( This is an element of the...

    Tell me all about the Hk p7

    I have heard about the lock ups you mentioned. Carbon build up. There is another model that uses a different gas system that alledgedly eliminates the problem. I shoot with a guy who has 3 of these things and likes them. I read the cleaning comment and never thought it was that bad but I...

    "Mexican carry"?

    I am guilty of this as a plain clothed cop in a unit that was a pre-cursor to what today is called Street Crime unit. Used to carry a .45 in the small of my back, grip to my strong side. There were a couple of things wrong with this, the first was the gun was uncomfortable. I never thought...

    Tell me all about the Hk p7

    I have owned three. A PSP, then 2 M8's. I still am the proud owner of the third one and it is a carry gun now and I used my PSP as a duty gun as a police officer. The gun is compact like a .380 but packs a full sized 9x19. It is centered on your firing hand to minimize recoil. Uses a grip...

    Your Fobus will be fine. Like Jim W above suggested, dry fire practice in a mirror and practive your reloads too. The holster must be on the seamline of your pants or behind and not visible from the front with your arms by your sides. Same for the Mag pouchs. Dont be distracted by the rock...

    Long arms for home defense?

    I am a big proponent on the proper use of a shotgun for close quarters ( out to 50 yards) and Always shot 00 buck. Then I met an old time range officer who had attended more riots and civil insurrection all over the world than I had read about in the paper. He made a very good point to me and I...

    Good cover

    Correct cover using a vehicle places the block of the engine between you and the threat. This leaves you with the problem of bouncing bullets comming from below the car. Anything other than that is concealment, not cover. Use that to get the heck out of the line of fire.

    Super Glue as LocTite?

    Super glue is too brittle which is why it wont hold. It originally was designed as a replacement for stiches in medical instances and the application morphed into regular use. Get the LocTite. One tube will last you a long time. BTW, Blue Loctite is what allows you to open the seal again. Red...
