Chris Collins is a great instructor. I took a defensive handgun class with him at US Shooting Academy in Oklahoma 2 years ago. I don't watch TV much and didn't realize he was on Top Shot. Cool. --Stork
Currently in the middle of a 6 month deployment. This will be the longest I've gone without shooting. Most Air Force deployments used to be 4 months, but then we cut a bunch of people. Guess who picks up the slack.
If I had known how much money I could save (or how much more I could shoot), and how much fun reloading is, I would have bought the press sooner. --Stork
My AR-15 is a Del-ton mid length on a CMMG receiver. The only options I chose were the chrome lined bbl and M-4 feed ramps. If I were to do it again, I'd likely add the chrome lined bolt carrier group just for ease of cleaning. AR's go together like Legos. You should have no problem. Mine...
I'm enticed by the affordable surplus CZ-75's on the market right now. Has anybody tried to run JHP's in one of these? Were they designed for hollow points or just military FMJ bullets? There's no doubt that these guns make excellent range toys, but I am wondering if they are also a viable...
Mine jams. It's been back to Kimber and to a pivate 1911 smith. I've got a little over 7000 rounds through it but it is only a range toy... Not a serious gun.
I voted for the 18.5" just because it feels handier to me. Although in a home defense situation, if you do the smart thing and barricade yourself in your bedroom, the 20" has the advantage. --Stork
I got one of those from CDNN too, but the one I got was so stiff and tight that I couldn't really get the gun in all the way without forcing it to the point that it was stuck. It's luck of the draw with that surplus stuff. I suppose for the 12 bucks it was worth the gamble. --Stork
Edited to...
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned it, but a 20 guage shotgun is no slouch and may be more manageable for your wife than a 12 guage. Hit up the gun shops and pawn shops for a used but solid pump shotgun. You may be surprised at how affordable they are if you aren't stuck on finding one...
Here's another variable... What is the nature of the threat? Knife threat = get between them and your friend. Gun threat = create lateral separation. --Stork
I'm looking at getting a tuckable IWB for my CZ-82 from High Noon Holsters. Anybody have an opinion on those? I've heard of other people using the Bianchi 100 with success. --Stork
Ah, so I have been saying it correctly on the rare occasion that I say the whole word. I got to this a little late in the game, but this has been a really educational thread. --Stork
Only companies that expect their products to have problems *cough*cough*kimber*cough will tell you that you need to break in the gun before it can be expected to function properly. That said, anything that you rely on for self defense should be thoroughly tested to establish a track record of...
