The original comment was about reloading which involves both getting rid of empties and loading new ammo. But let's forget about that. If we focus only on loading (starting with empty chambers) and disallow speedloaders then two of the major speed advantages of most DA revolvers, the ability...

If you can't shorten the barrel & recrown, the only other decent option is to counterbore. If you shorten the barrel, make sure you don't go too short, you don't have a lot of barrel to play with before you get into NFA territory. You need the rifling to be undamaged and symmetrical at the...

Dump boxes will surely slow you down. From loops, you should be able to grab and load 2 at a time in a swing-out cylinder gun.

Depends, I guess. First off, all the empties come out at once. Then you can load the new ones two at a time from the box, no turning the cylinder required, no messing with the hammer. I guess if you have a bunch of rounds in a bag and load one at a time, the difference is less significant.

Gunshots are loud without hearing protection. He may not have heard them yelling or understood what they were yelling due to his ears ringing from the shots. Some good lessons for those inclined to learn them. Guns are not magic. Don't assume that criminals will be afraid of your gun. Never...

If a tactic has disadvantages, people should be told that it does. Sharing important information about owning and using firearms is what this forum is all about. I'm not advocating disparaging people, but pointing out that a practice is foolish in some circumstances is certainly warranted if...

1. That's a very different objection than saying that someone is "fine with picking and choosing which parts of the right to keep and bear arms they want to defend" for pointing out that certain practices. have potentially serious disadvantages. 2. You've already raised this issue and I've...

That is NOT true, at least not here. It's not about a specific aspect of "gun ownership" it's about a particular "tactic". Saying that it's disadvantageous to use a particular TACTIC in some situations is absolutely not being "against a certain aspect of gun OWNERSHIP". Well then, what they...

There are many things that are legal that are not prudent in every circumstance or that have disadvantages or that are potentially harmful to the person doing them. Pointing that out is not arguing that people's rights should be restricted. I'm sure the anti-gunners will use whatever...

I realize that. It's clear when you are talking about rights and when you are not. The problem comes when arguments against open carry made based on practicality are attacked on the basis that those arguments are about restricting rights. LIKE THIS: Nobody on this thread is throwing anyone...

It's a good time to stockpile ammo when prices are at a low point and supply is high. This makes it simple to find what you need and relatively inexpensive to buy it.

It's sometimes hard to get shades of meaning or sarcasm from the written word. I assumed you were speaking literally about reality. Well, if you are, you are doing so in spite of clear statements that the arguments against open carry are not about rights but about practicality. Sort of ironic...

There were some Ruger P series made as DAO guns. I believe that the H&K USP could be had in DAO. Finding one of those could be difficult. I haven't been inside one in awhile, but it seems to me it might be possible to modify a Beretta 92 to a DAO configuration without too much difficulty.

Of course they can. As Styx noted, all it takes is for the majority to pressure their representatives, or to vote in new representatives to get the laws changed. Even the constitution can be changed with a sufficient majority. That is one reason I support the right to open carry. And it is...

Is someone saying that Open Carry should be illegal? I haven't seen anyone say that on this thread. No one's talking about overriding anyone's rights. Pointing out that a certain activity could be tactically advantageous (or disadvantageous) is not a commentary on what should/shouldn't be...

It is worthwhile to keep in mind that carrying without a permit issued by the state you are carrying in means that you can't legally carry in federally defined Gun Free School Zones. Having a qualifying permit issued by your state is an exception to the Gun Free School Zones Act while carrying...

Just to reinforce your comments. The last two cities I've lived in had city ordinances that made it illegal to shoot airguns in city limits. They defined firearms such that if you shoot an airgun in city limits they would cite you for discharging a firearm in city limits.

Densified wood is interesting stuff and is very light and strong. HOWEVER, it would not replace kevlar for body armor since it is not flexible like kevlar is. That means comparing it to kevlar is stupid/pointless because it doesn't provide the same functionality as kevlar. It could be...

Pretty sure that S&W offered a number of their pistols in DAO back before striker guns became popular. As I recall the H&K USP had a DAO option before they developed their LEM.

Must have been some boutique ammo offering. None of the major manufacturers ever made anything like that as far as I can recall and searches don't turn anything up.
