A .32 ACP in the right hands is all you need Much has been said on this forum and others about stopping power, one shot stops, and the magic bullet. A lot of opinions have been given by many armchair experts who have never had to kill someone in a self defense situation, most only imagine...

Really? Warp says, "Do you know why? Because most people are prohibited from possessing guns in "military calibers". They are legally bound to choose small, weak, ineffective calibers". I always wondered why Adolf Hitler killed himself with a .32 caliber, probably because the authorities...

Do it in a humane way - with a .32 ACP The .32 ACP is one of the most common calibers used in veterinary "humane killers". If you have to kill someone - do it in a humane way - with a .32 ACP - the jury will agree with you. Not everyone shares America's opinion about the .32 cal. In...

Some Answers to your Questions There is an interesting book I read authored by W.E. Fairbairn called "Get Tough". It's old and probably out of print, but it covers the subject of knife fighting based on his personal experiences with the Shanghai Police Force before WWII. He covers the...

A real life shootout A lot has been said about what one needs for self defense when the forces of darkness decend upon you. There are threads and threads about stopping power, about how much ammo you should have, etc. Here is a true story to consider. It happened about 20 years ago, here...

It appears that we are talking about a black cat (442) and a white cat (642) that both kill mice. Is there really ANY difference except the finish? All I see are new fotos of 442s and 642s. I want to see what these guns look like after 2 or 3 years of concealed carry. "The truth is...

Someone has seen the light Finally, someone has debunked the stopping power myth. It's like talking about "How many Angels can Dance on the Head of a Pin". Placement & Penetration - ya got that one right!

What a fantastic forum! I can't thank you enough for your information - I now know how to properly care for my guns in a rust enivonment.

Hi guys, I'm really concerned about having a blued handgun down here - rains over 12 feet a year and is 85% humidity plus and you can fry an egg on your forehead. Someone suggested Johnson's Paste Wax (JPW) and Ezzox, but didn't give any details on how it is applied and where it is...

At Last At last, Mr. 1911 Tuner, has connected the dots about the reality of a violent confrontation a civilian might encounter. Please make his comments a "sticky".

This is the result of my study after 65 years. This subject is an enigma and will probably never be solved. There are just too many variables and subjective factors involved. Each individual will react differently to a gunshot wound. One's will to fight on or to give up is determined only...

Really? Are you guys shilling for Ruger? If it's for real, I'm getting one!

Here we Go Again I think six angles can dance on the head of a pin.

You Guys Are All Under Armed I always carry the 50 round drum magazine and two spares drums for my auto, just in case if I need them.
