I used to own a FWB 65.. I sold it after I picked up my first IZH46 locally for under $200. Aside from feeling better made, the IZH outshot it handily, was quieter, easier to cock. Years later, I picke dup a fixer upper 46M, missing the rear sight. I fabricated one up, but finally managed...

Stream sprays tend to go farther, and not suffer from 'blowback' as much if youre downstream of what you're spraying. Fogs are like a shotgun- hard to miss, but I think wind can blow it back at you some. Notice the police that use foggers on TV usually have gas masks on! :) -Dave

Another thing to consider: Here in CA, a baton, or club (even a bat in the car withoutball and glove) are highly illegal, where a folding knife is legal. Otherwise, I'd be happy to carry a 26" collapsible ASP baton! Bring the folder and some duct tape, and you can have yourself a mini...

Since it is a LONG GUN, you could actually have your local dealer order it through another out-of-state party. There IS no importation law or testing law for rifles (thank God). I'd just like to see the P-11/P-32 available here in CA again. No one's won a gun-lawsuit anyways (or at least...

Is first-defense the yellow one? I think they sold that here in CA as the first 'legal' one, when they had a permit system for sprays (now anyone can buy). I tried the 'sniff and hand' test on the first defense stuff- it doesn't seem very strong, but then again, I still wouldn't do the...

If it takes AR mags, count me in too! I wonder if a short 5-round mag would fit into the rifle when folded? In a defense situation,t hat should be enough to get you by until you pop the 30 rounder out of the buttstock! -Dave

Pepper is proven to be much more effective than regular tear gas, as it HURTS! I wouldn't call it an end-all be-all weapon, but if you hit someone in the face with it, they'll be blinded at least, giving you time to run, counter-attack, or ? The nice thing about sprays are of course...

I have personal experience with the "SABRE" brand of sprays.. it's a CN/CS gas + pepper + Id dye. My fiancee's spray cap popped off one day (small keychain unit- shoe now uses an upgraded unit with a non poppable cap), and I tried to pop it back on. Lo and behold, the thing goes off in my...

I know firsthand of an incident where a girl was attacked- she reacted with a 3" bladed knife (spyderco jess horn). One stab+slash exit to the stomach area ended the fight INSTANTLY. The guy had his hands on her throat, but not for long ;) In another incident I know of (spoke to the guy it...

As a lightweight backup/carry gun, the scandiums are beautiful... If you intend to use it as a house gun, forget it- go buy yuorself a good 7-shot L-frame with a 4" full underlug barrel- thank me later :) I like my scandium for what it is, but shooting it feels like.. well.. the first...

All I noticed shooting my uncles pre-'89 ban UZI, is the 16" barrel is REAL quiet- sounds close to my 10/22 or lever-gun with .38's at the indoor range! -Dave

I recently bought a Remington 700 VLS in .223, which had such a rough bore, I sent it back to the factory for replacement. I got a whole new rifle.. the bore still isn't perfect, but it seems to shoot relatively well, so I may leave well enough alone. It looks like it wants to do roughly...

Hey, do what I did, buy one of each ;) DSA FAL (built on Imbel receiver with surplus parts, BY DSA!) M1A AR10-T I would have bought a G3-type rifle too if the bas$#@%rds in CA didn't ban the durned things so quick! So far, I like the feel of the M1A best- it does need to be glass...
