Well, getting back to the initial topic. Again. :) There is not a lot of information, especially regarding citizens' marksmanship. Here are a few interesting pieces of information: 1. Peace officers involved in violent encounters had a hit rate of 39-41% at an average range of 21-25...

I am a big fan of Remington's Premium Aframe in .300 win mag. http://www.remington.com/products/ammunition/centerfire/premier_a-Frame.asp I have had excellent results with this load in ranges from 15 to 270 yards on animals including moose, waterbuck, greater kudu, leopard, gemsbok, and...

1. Yes. Always. 2. Most of the time, I carry a gun without a manual safety (Glock or S&W M25 revolver). Rarely, I carry a gun with a safety (Browning Hipower, Colt MkIV series 70, CZ75BSA, Walther PPKS). 3. I carry single action semi-automatic pistols with the safety on. I carry...

I sent you a PM (private message). Regards --Dan

So, did you pass? I assume you did! Regards --Dan

Always entertaining... As far as I can tell, of the 20-some responses, three are from sworn officers. It seems there are an amazing number of mind-readers on THR. :p Not really correct. Peace officers in Texas have a large amount of discretion on how best to enforce laws. From the...

I'll provide a bit of background, so you understand the context. I have been a CHL holder in Texas since the law came into effect. In that entire time, I have had four contacts with police. Three were great, and one was strange-but-fine. Two years ago, I completed the Peace Officers'...

Why are you nervous? Can you spend some time at the range before your class? If so, buy a couple B-27 silhouettes, and run yourself through the course at a range. What kind of pistol are you planning to use? Have you had a chance to shoot it much? Be certain to know how to safely operate...

See the attached link... http://www.austinchl.com/range_prof.htm All strings of fire start from the 'low ready' position; meaning you do not have to draw from a holster. Note also that the target has changed recently. The B-27 illustrated at that web site is the correct target...

Jason- Here is a link to Turner Slings. They make excellent slings, and I use their 1907's on my hunting rifles, my M1A, my M1 garands, and my Remington 1903 Springfields. http://turnersling.com/miva/merchant.mvc Don't hesitate to call them and ask questions! Regards --Dan

Great Video :) United States Army 1981-1984. 1/325 Airborne Infantry, 82d Airborne Division. MOS 11B. Regards to everyone! --Dan

I selected the M2 .50...ma deuce. First, it provides you limited capability against light armor. Certainly a good thing. Second, it is a brutally effective weapon...especially against enemies in built-up areas. I also went with an M3 grease gun. Since my M2 is crew served, I thought a...

Speer Gold Dot 200 gr +P in a 5" Colt MkIV series 70 and a 4" S&W 625 Regards --Dan

Miamitiger- First, 'metal piercing bullets' is not a commonly used term. Second, legality depends on where you live. I presume you live in Florida, and here is what the Florida statute says: "790.31 Armor-piercing or exploding ammunition or dragon's breath shotgun shells, bolo shells...

I suggest Russell Moccasin... http://www.russellmoccasin.com/ Great boots. Regards --Dan

Thanks very much for the responses...Yes, I suspected pall or hand. I'll take it to the range this week and see if I can discover anything. In the meantime, I did find this on the internet... http://www.handgunrepairshop.com/ Regards to all! --Dan

I have a Webley revolver in .455 Webley that has a bit of a problem. It shoots fine in double action, but frequently misfires in single action. Does anyone know a gunsmith that works on Webleys? I appreciate your help in advance! Regards --Dan

82nd Airborne, and SETAF (Southern European Task Force). Wore the Airborne tab with the SETAF patch also. I like both patches. I wore the SETAF patch far longer than the AA, but its hard to find a baseball cap with the Lion of St. Mark on it! :) Regards --Dan

Here is some information on 'most dangerous jobs'. And Here is the link:http://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/cfoi/cfch0003.pdf. Police does not make the top ten for fatality rate. Military fatality rate is for US only. Data is from 2004... Top ten in fatality rate (deaths per 100,000...
