    The most important physical skill for CCW is... grappling?

    "Do you know what the single most important physical skill is when it comes to self-defense with a handgun? It's not your shooting mechanics, it's not your marksmanship- not at all. It's grappling." Whether that is true or not, and there is some humorous hyperbole, I thought this video provided...

    150 or 168 grn COPPER for 308?

    It seems odd, but that's what I read on another forum. The post was dated October 25, 2022. "I reached out to Barnes asking if I should step down to the 150 grain bullet since I am loosing about 120 fps with my 18" barrel as I was concerned about expansion and there reply was: 'The beautiful...

    150 or 168 grn COPPER for 308?

    The 150 TTSX component bullet is tougher than the 150 TTSX that is loaded in the VOR-TX .308 and .30-06 factory ammo.

    Are Bullpups the future?

    Apparently Ukrainian special forces like this bullpup, or at least are widely seen using it. That is the opposite of what has been seen in some other armies, such as the British Army using a bullpup rifle, but their special operations using AR-platform carbines. It's also interesting because...

    Are Bullpups the future?

    The General Dynamics entry for the NGSW program was very cool. Who knows what the future is. I think feeding through the grip makes much sense for a PCC though.

    Non hollow point self defense ammo.......

    People see the ballistic gelatin blocks and think the radial cracks represent "damage" to animal tissues, which they don't. Or they shoot a small pork roast or chicken and it makes a mess because the temporary cavity is huge in relation to the thawed-out target. I can believe they will cause...

    Non hollow point self defense ammo.......

    This jet is CLAIMED to cause damage would be more accurate. I'm sure it beats a round nose, maybe a flat nose. I don't buy their claims it beats a hollow point.

    5.56x45 or 7.62x39?

    Soap or resin just captures the temporary cavity... in that medium. 10% ballistic gel: And if we make the comparison a bit clearer by only showing the permanent cavity, and stopping at 18" (FBI overpenetration) The 5.56 is going to be better WITH FMJ because it's going 400-800 fps...

    5.56x45 or 7.62x39?

    It's bizarre how the poll is tied when the question specified "with FMJ". With that limitation, the 5.56 can even outdo the 7.62x51 at close ranges. The M43 steel core that is most commonly found in combat zones is pretty poor. Flat-base styles are supposed to be a bit better. Neither is going...

    Target software?

    OnTarget Precision Calculator is a desktop one. There's also this free "Taran" in the browser: https://taran.ptosis.ch/taran.html

    5.56 vs Foster Slug?

    Seems a little unfair. I think you could make it a more interesting competition by specifying a low-recoil tactical slug vs the 5.56. A lot less expansion on a slug going 300-400 fps slower.

    35 Whelen vs 338-06

    I would go with the Whelen because I think it's just cooler, and it's a larger step in diameter from the .30-06. As for the 9.3x62 vs the 35, it depends on which bullet selection you prefer, heavier or lighter (eg, 180gr .358" TTSX).

    Wood and Blued Steel 9mm Carbine? - Henry Homesteader

    I noticed the same thing with Henry designs. I especially don't like their centerfire leverguns, especially the brass receiver ones. It's supposed to be an old West aesthetic, but they look about as "old West" as this guy: But strangely, I think their All-Weather versions of the same...

    Assess this recent in-the-news defensive shooting incident (Houston)

    He first shot him four times in the back, as he walked past him. Justified. Robber falls down, little motion. He shoots again. Then as he walks towards him, twice more. First, second, maybe even third could be justified. He's now standing over him, and shoots yet again, at the motionless...
