    Example Of How Pistol Rounds Suck

    This incident has little to do with civilian SD but its a great example of how inefficient our pistols that we EDC can be. This dude took two to the chest and walked it off. Yes he did eventually keel over but just imagine if he had been more determined in his last moments, or worse yet, on...

    Competitive Shooter In SD Shooting

    This goes against the narrative that competition shooting plays no bearing on real world skills IMHO.

    Picked Up My New Gun Today

    I posted a deal a couple weeks back on a sub $200 Turkish semi shotgun that I ordered. Well today I finally got to pick it up. Seems well built just like my other Turkish shotguns. Not sure how I feel about the big rubber grommet on the charging handle. I'm showing a pic with and without it...

    Deal Alert!

    If this needs to be moved so be it. I thought it would benefit folks most here. I've been in the market for a semi shotgun for a while and stumbled across this Turkish M4 "style" gun. I bought mine today so I won't be able to give a review until next weekend. Although all my other Turkish...

    Neat Christmas Gift

    So for any of you that have ever been to a Cracker Barrel they have this peg game on a triangle wood piece I'm sure you're familiar with. I'm not sure what its called but my wife and I have played a little over the years. Anyhow my mother picked up this knockoff at a craft show and gave it to...

    Possible New Revolver For Me

    Got a gift card to a LGS for Christmas and don't have a ton of extra money. Background: I do have a HRR and do not have a DA revolver. The two guns I'm looking at are a Ruger Wrangler and a Taurus 856 3". I have been happy with my HRR and obviously .22lr I have plenty of. The Wrangler looks...

    Do You Go Places You Can't Carry?

    This is not referring to places you HAVE to go such as work, hospital or govt buildings, rather places you voluntarily go. I'm also not referring to places you can get into but that have signs. I'm talking metal detectors/security or other countries. For me, outside of the above I don't go...

    Now We Can All Go To Bed With Our Tail Between Our Legs

    I've seen Jerry M. shoot some distance shots but not from the holster on the clock. There's got to be some luck involved here. I've shot iron sight pistols at 100yds slow fire and the front sight all but eliminates the target. Impressive...

    What Would You Do If....

    ...A crazy person with an axe entered a convience store you were at? I can't get over the "nonchalant" mindset of most folks. Great example of what not to do. Video is not that graphic only because the aggressor was not that good with an axe. https://files.catbox.moe/ku3r8n.mp4 Full...

    Bear Charge

    This could pertain to any animal really, and I don't know the backstory on the video. What I do know is I wouldn't let a bear this size bluff me three times with three opportunistic shots without taking one. Albeit I also wouldn't be in his situation with just a double barrel either. Again...

    Situational Awareness (What Would You Do)

    I'm starting this partially in response to Jeff's thread. Also to show that I'm not in condition red all the time. So this morning I'm at a country gas station as I live in the sticks, its maybe 630am, not pitch black but pretty dark. I'm filling my car up when I notice a middle aged guy...

    Compliance Is Certainly A Gamble

    Another one from John with ASP. He makes some great points on paying attention for opportunities presented by your attacker. Not "overly graphic" but if you're squeamish maybe pass this one up.

    Intruder On Property

    This is a video John Lovell recently posted about a meth head stumbling onto his property. Its an evaluation of what happend and how to do it better. In that spirit I recently watched a video of him at a Young American conference where he said he "carried all the time". Yet, at his own...

    M855A1 Update...

    Some of you may remember the thread I started where I was gifted some M855A1 ammo and initially tested it on a 1/4" thick AR500 target. It went through it like butter. The other visible impacts on the first target pictured were standard .223 FMJ. Well I finally got to try the M855A1 again today...

    Recommend....

    ....an inexpensive semi .22. The purpose of this gun would mainly be for introducing new shooters, but it would have the benefit of allowing me to plink. I run Glocks for SD/EDC/comps so the G44 is obviously interesting. Although I'm not not opposed to other options. I've shot several...

    Greenwood Park Mall Shooting

    So far as I have read Eli Dickenson (22yo) fired 10 shots from around 40yds, with 8 of them making contact with the shooter. Add to that the PC said this happened in a matter of 15 seconds based on video. I saw a photo of the shooter deceased and it looked like he had GSW's in his arm, leg and...

    What Is A Lever Action Classified As?

    If this needs to be moved to the rifle forum have at it mods. I thought it best suited here. Sounds like a silly question but I got to thinking about it while browsing guns online today. What does a lever action rifle classify as? To me, its basically the same as a SA revolver. On the...

    Ammo ID

    I was gifted some 5.56 from an acquaintance who is ex military. Career guy. Doesn't have an affinity for AR's because of his service so he gave me a wee bit of ammo he has no use for. I've never bought M855 so I don't know what it looks like, but thats what this appears to be. My main concern...

    Transporting A Pistol To N.C.

    Wife is going to the beach with some friends for a few days (leaving tomorrow). I checked Handgunlaw.us and its a bit confusing. My wife HAD a valid VA CHP but did not renew until it had expired. She's waiting on the new one now. So the issue at hand is just her having an unloaded firearm with...
