I have never been a fan of the .38 in general, especially as a back up. My recommendation would be to find a nice .32, .380, or 9x19 pocket pistol for back up. Whatever you choose, make sure you do a functions check (100+) rounds and practice with it until you are confident in your ability to...

I personally have a nice AR set up that I use for my primary home defense. It will defeat body armor (more criminals have them than you would think), it is extremely effective, and with day and night capabilities I have a great advantage. It is also compact, and has a high capacity. It does well...

I have considered using this for my defensive round in my AK. I havent decided if I am going to sell my AK or not but for the time being I want something better than FMJ for defense and I refuse to pay $1 a pop for something that probably wont perform much better. Does anyone know of any tests...

The SIG for sure

I did a test that I posted here a while back comparing the .22LR and .25ACP from similar length barrels. Using Winchester 50 grain FMJ and CCI 40 grain MiniMag I fired through a 2x4 into water jugs. The .25ACP easily won, penetrating two jugs compared to just one with the .22 and keep in mind...

Open carry rarely deters a crime. If I walked into a bank to rob it, I would change my plans because I seen someone openly carrying. I would simply make him my first target, whethet ots by gun shot or disarming him. Open carry is the best way to get yourself unwanted attention really quick and...

Eldon519 The reason is those are the standard weights for each caliber as designated by the military as well as many law enforcement agencies. Thats why I did this comparison in those weights. rswartsell Im not sure if you are serious, or if you read my OP but the advantage here was...

Zoom- As you can see from the test above, recovered expanded bullet diameters dont always represent terminal performance. It is obvious from the block that the .45ACP expanded larger than the 9mm but it doesnt mean the damage it created was proportional. And thanks LK, I have always prefered...

My first gun ever was a Heritage Arms Rough Rider .22LR/.22Mag(WMR) when I was 16. That was 10 years ago, and I will never sell it. I havent shot it in years but because it is a great firearm, it has sentimental value, and it falls into my latest type of collectables (western/cowboy style...

Im not sure if I have posted this before but I figured with new members and with many that dont visit everyday this could be interesting for them to see. If its the wrong forum, I apologize. These are some blocks that I shot a little over a year ago. I wanted to see side by side how my two...

I think it has more to do with the rumors and "knowledge" that they gather on other forums and gun shows. Very few people realistically know the laws, especially in their own state. However, some are just over cautious, and that's fine with me. They are the same ones that like their steak...

I agree completely, but there have been times where after a few years I wonder what happened to a specific firearm. When I draw a blank, the records help to keep a peace of mind. Its not always for legal reasons, but for personal as well.

If a competent marksman were to aim (and hit) a 12 inch target, nothing would strike it but the string (or polyetheldrinepsyco-sematic-nuclearphyicological 1,2,3,4,5 mass). Seriously, if you were to hit what you were actually aiming for that was within 14 inches in diameter, nothing but the...

I don't doubt his story at all. He is a very respectable member and I trust everything he says 100%. However, if he was local (not 1400 miles away) then things may have been completely different. In my state the authorities, even with a simple suspicion, would have detained him as well has his...

Yes. Transactions cannot cross state lines without a transfer through an FFL. It is only legal to do private transactions FTF with a resident of your own state.
