    Help the girls.

    From the little I did read about this the guy got clawed and bruised up pretty good. She just lost in the end. That said, your right about encouraging women (and men) to consider learning self defense. Most people I have known enjoy it, and it is beneficial both to the individual and to society...

    Smart Carry and One In The Pipe Poll Thread

    I'm with you on this one. I'll never understand the relevance of the Israeli infantry to urban self defense. If I was riding in a personnel transport with 15 fellow soldiers, I'd be fine with being unchambered. If I was in a fire fight at moderate rifle distances, I'd still be fine with my...

    Smart Carry and One In The Pipe Poll Thread

    Since I don't have smart carry, I have only a limited idea of how stiff the material would be. I guess I would try pulling the trigger through my pants to see if an innocent groin scratch could result in disaster and go from there. If is like other soft holsters I have, that won't be possible...

    No, and again, nor did I say so. I don't own a smart carry, but just looking at the pictures it is good to go for any handgun that fits and is otherwise safe. That includes stock Glocks and revolvers. I've never heard of a single smart carry accident, and doubt one is possible without a finger...

    No and no. Nor did I ever say so. What I said is that safer does not equal safe. If a carry method is unsafe with a Glock, I wouldn't consider it safe with a revolver just because of the trigger weight difference. The trigger weight difference can make it safer but not necessarily safe.

    See previous post. Not as wrong as you seem to claim. Sorry I was off by 1 lb. BFD. As for carry methods, there are safe methods of carrying any handgun, and then there are methods that have varying degrees of risk depending on the design of the handgun. When it is the safety of myself and...

    For the Glock, from the Glock web site: As for triggers in general, I still feel that safer doesn't equal safe. In other words, if it can't be done safely with a Glock, it probably shouldn't be done with a revolver either. JMO.

    Belting out "your wrong" like that isn't exactly the high road way, but since you at least made somewhat of a case, I'll respond. While saying that a 12 lb trigger is "more" forgiving than a 6 lb is true, neither are what I would consider forgiving. One ND is one too many. I don't consider any...

    Yes, YOUR revolver has a 12lb trigger and YOUR Glock has a 5.5lb trigger. I've seen a lot of revolvers in the 5-6lb range and Glocks are available with 12lb triggers. Not that it matters since none of those will be forgiving of a goof with their finger where it doesn't belong.

    Homemade Weapons

    Kinda what I was thinking. I just couldn't think of a way to say it without coming off as being rude. Learn you're local laws. Get a good folding knife that conforms to the law without being too flashy. Oddly enough, Walmart is a good place to start. Then get a 2AA aluminum flashlight with a...

    How Many Rounds of Defense Fire

    That is a very touchy feelly question. If you want to get scientific, it takes about 300 consecutive successful repetitions of a pass fail test to be 95% certain that 99% of future repetitions will be successful. But since 300 rounds is enough to change the dynamics of a firearm, it is still...

    Handgun hearing protection

    The Caldwell ones work fine but the speakers are too quiet for my taste, and the batteries fall out if you bump them wrong. The cheap ones I've liked are the Sportsman's Guide brand muffs. They are nearly identical but the volume is good and the batteries don't fall out.

    When you are lost on what a term means, you will often find an answer quicker by typing it in the search engine of your choice, and paying close attention to the first couple results. Doesn't always work, but in this case it does.

    Not saying you're wrong for the reasons you gave, but... I am unaware of any US law agency encouraging Israeli carry. If you know of any specific examples, I wouldn't mind hearing one. US use of Israeli carry seems to be more popular among open carry advocates in states that mandate it for...

    True, but I would say that for the most part, fear buyers go out buy a gun, maybe shoot it a few times at a range, and then put it in their night stand or kitchen drawer. People who carry outside of an occupational necessity however tend to be the same people who get as much training as they can...

    Which is odd IMO. Seems like the anti gun movement has pushed gun owners to historically unprecedented levels of civilian firearms training. Also from your previous post, you can rack a slide one handed, but then again who wants to deal with that when you are seconds from death?

    I'll never understand why a revolver is good to go, but yet people think a semi auto needs manual safeties and or no round chambered to be safe.
