45-70 vs 220 Swift?
Hummm, the slow but heavy vs. a lite and fast projectile issue raises it head again
Hi folks, I'm new to THR but have been around the block. I took LFI-I and II from Mas in the early 80's, Mas, your getting old! The first class he carried "Fluffy", a model 66 with the magnetic lock work in the grip frame (little does my cat know she was named after a gun). For the second class we saw his "orthopedic" ambi 1911 from when he injured his right hand as the firearm de jour. In the intervening 26 plus years I've never had to resort to lethal force but use the tools he gave me on a daily basis. Namely awareness of my environment at any given time and listening to what my senses are telling me, if things don't "feel" right start paying attention. Living in Miami-Dade county I have ample opportunity to give the senses a daily workout with so many people so eager to let you know you're #1 in their book and in any number of colorful languages and fingers. Factor in how many carry, even if just counting the legal ones, most of those having been trained in a couple of hours while at a gun show in a packed room. Then add unusually high levels of testosterone and caffeine we have per capita down here to make me oh so gratefull to have been taught responsible carry so long ago.
Wow, I just wanted to make a little bullet joke and I ended up on a soapbox, maybe I'm getting old too...
