Rule 1 in military planning. Assume the enemy is as well equipped and well trained as your forces.

Just to clarify. 922r does not apply to ALL foreign made parts in a firearm, only to the foreign made parts on a list published by the BATFE known casually as "compliance parts"..

Go get your permits, go buy more guns, encourage the neighbors. Bet you that when the baddies plan their hits it will not be on the street full of red-dots indicating armed residents.

Forget the energy, any change is only theoretical. Range is always important to allow for bullet drop but your chosen sighting-in range should compensate, to some extent, for this. At an angle, choosing your point of aim on the target is the most important factor because you want to hit a...

A friend of mine is the literal poor boy from the mountains who made good. Yes, his purchases tend to be a compensation for his early days but he deserves every toy he buys. He's good with a shotgun and rife but barely average with a pistol and not too interested in learning - it happens.

I admit I did not read this whole thread but, to look back on happier, more reasonable, times. As teenagers, that's many years ago, we would end a days shooting in the fields by dropping in at the local bar for a soft drink. It was the only place you could get a soft drink late in the day (by...

David, Whatever, you can use different target faces on different targets if you wish to get "shoot" or "no shoot". We actually use a variety of target faces in the line so that the Point of Aim changes with the target. Some targets big, some targets small, some bullseye target, some hostage...

David, With a shot timer you have already had time to acquire the target so you know where you are going to shoot when the buzzer sounds. We use a line of turning targets and an individual target in the line turns at random. You do not know when the target will turn, you do not know which one...

DKK You hit many of the relevant "human factors" effecting point-shooting. Good agnostic analysis. I have never had the need to point-shoot in self defense so I can only talk about training but I am lucky in that I have a well-equipped range to work with. This allows me to practice against...

Jon, I've done extensive tests on my ability to point shoot and I have a good picture of what I can do - you're mileage will vary. For me point shooting is an option at 5 yards or less, I will accept 7 yards if I have to, so I do some practice at this range. Some people will not accept an...

Jon_in_wv Mainly because it saves half a second in firing time at close range with no significant loss of accuracy. At ten feet accuracy is fine but speed wins.

The importation of military type firearms is restricted by federal law. Some dealers tried to get smart by breaking down the guns, importing the "parts", and then reassembling the guns for sale in an attempt to get around the restrictions. The law was modified to prevent this trick - hence the...

Too tight headspace would also cause the bolt to be difficult to close. It sounds like over loaded cartridges - are they commercial rounds or reloads? Locking lug faces could be wrong angle or rough if this was someone's first gunsmithing project.

Sharkman, Are you thinking of issuing tasers to the pilots before a PC at TK? Never needed them on non-glass guys but I would have loved them as a training tool to use on glass PIs. Sorry none-OP.

Sharkman, Just so you do not think I speak from ignorance I retired with 25 years of commercial airline time and a total of 40 years as a pilot. Most of the cockpit defense concept was screwed up. The airline I worked for purchased hundreds of tasers as an interim solution to cockpit...

Sharkman, We should assume the pilot was correctly following procedures otherwise it is unlikely that his original "punishment" would be reversed. If the re-holstering procedure had been designed to be perfectly safe for a normal person to carry out in a confined position (an aircraft pilot's...

Oye, Just a simple question. Can you read English? Sorry, just wondered.

It's a P17 Enfield made by Remington - one of the desirable ones. These guns can be rebarreled to make excellent heavy caliber rifles but they are a bit heavy in carry weight for smaller calibers. Some of the P17 rifles actually had the same bore size as the 303 (0.311 inch bore instead of the...

A Remington 700 Scout is called a Remington 600 (:):)). The 600 is a short action version of the 700 specially made for cartridges like the 308. I think the current version is called a 632 or something like that. Great rifle.

Has anyone ever actually carried out a night HD drill? Get a friend to enter the home through a window or door and see how the situation plays out. It would seem this would provide two valuable viewpoints. The defender gets the HD practice and the attacker can assess the HD effectiveness. I...
