Here is a list of 9mm recommended by Dr. Gary K. Roberts that I found helpful. These loads met the FBI requirements to: 1) at least 12" of penetration in properly prepared ballistic gelatin/soft tissue 2) reliable expansion in bare gelatin and 4-layer denim Barnes XPB 115gr HP (35515)...

I believe in shot placement too! I shoot and carry 9mm, .40 and 45. Just to put some better numbers up for the .40 in Federal HST, which is my carry choice: P40HST3 165g muzzle velocity 1130 muzzle energy 468 P40HST1 180g muzzle velocity 1010 muzzle energy 408 Modern ammunition has...

Les Baer TRS is a great choice. It is widely regarded as a good value when buying a higher end production 1911. I have found it to be a step above other 1911's I have or have owned, 2 Kimbers, S&W PD tuned by the performance center, and a pre-CZ Dan Wesson PTE. Mine is very accurate and...

this guy needs a reality check. just staying away from him may keep you safe, but he sounds like he will be a danger to others. he sent you an im about his plans to commit "assault with a deadly weapon" or maybe even "aggravated assault" on his brother. i would call the sheriff or police...
