I feel fortunate to work in a profession where I carry an issued firearm. If I ever have to go to court for a shooting, I can honestly say I used the gun and ammunition I was issued for my work, or if I have to use my CCW on my personal time, I used a gun and ammunition substantially similar to...
If I were one of the Greek CO's I would be much more worried about the terrible holster then the revolver in it, as long as the weapon is still in good functional condition, which I would be suspect of if those weapons are really over 100 years old and have been knocking around with state...
Just anecdotal I know, but I worked security in a hospital for almost five years. One of my job duties was checking in visitors. we required a valid form of picture ID and I ended up looking into a LOT of wallets as people pulled out their driver's licenses. There was a surprisingly large...
He didn't seem all that incapacitated to me when he came in. He was sitting up on the stretcher talking trash to the paramedic. I got the impression that he came to the hospital because "that is what you are supposed to do" when you get shot. According to the cops he also ran away from the...
I worked at a Trauma Center as security. We had one case of a "gentleman" brought into our ED by ambulance. He had been shot by a person unknown with a pistol, though he swore up and down he had not been shot. The entry hole was approximately three inches below his left nipple and the...
Capacity was far down the list of factors when choosing my carry gun. More important to me were reliability, shootability (accuracy), ease and comfort of carry, how comfortable I am with the design etc.
It so happens I choose to carry a Glock 19. The fifteen round capacity is nice, but not...
Probably gauss weapons will be the next big thing. There are already private citizens making them and posting videos of their creations. The big hurdle seems to be power sources. Tesla and a few other manufacturers are working on some things that will probably revolutionize batteries in the...
I would look for whatever round is closest in weight to your practice ammo to minimize POA/POI differences. I think that is the penetrator loading. Don't worry about over pentration, it is just a name not an adequate description of what the round does.
These fancy "screwdriver tip" rounds...
Oh, I did have my trigger return spring replaced with one from HBI Tactical, and it made a huge improvement to the trigger pull. The spring kit was $9.00 and a local gun smith with a lot of experience working on the Scorpion EVO's did the work for me, though if you are comfortable taking apart...
I have a Scorpion EVO 2 pistol and it is a lot of fun to shoot. I used it in a night match recently with a red dot sight and TLR-1 and did pretty well. It is very fast on target and handles well with an SBT 1913 brace attached to a picatinny rail adapter on the back. The Scorpion EVO is a...
That was a paraphrase., my post was long enough as it was.
There was a lot of other moral instruction as well, and at the end of the day, with a good understanding of use of force laws, it is a good way to understand the seriousness of introducing a deadly weapon into any altercation and the...
My introduction to guns and carry was gradual. I grew up without a father, and my mother, though pro-gun, did not think she could safely teach me to use firearms, though she made sure I knew Cooper's four rules and our own family's rules for using weapons for defense paraphrased: never pull a...
I have practiced Aikido for almost 20 years. Use it regularly at work. Also played around a bit with Muay Thai and BJJ and liked both, but Aikido is the best for me.
Of course you can buy handguns from private sales without going through an FFL. Why ever would you not be able to?
You can also build your own gun if you want.
My woods carry is my daily CCW. A Glock 19 with 124 gr Gold Dots. In my area I am only worried about dogs packs or meth-billies so the 9mm makes sense. Also, no open carry in FL except in very limited circumstances.
When the family and I are out hiking I do like to carry medical supplies and...
One of my friends at work shoots a LOT of USPSA matches (along with various types of steel matches) so I find myself shooting that a lot as well. Matches are a lot more funwithfriends. I liked the couple IDPA matches I did shoot though.
My favorite matches are tactical rifle/two gun, but...
