I assume you are talking about the SS190, not really an accurate comparison, I think 7N21 and 7N31 (9mm Parabellum) the Russians carry would be superior but we are talking about ammo that doesn't exist in retail. Penetration with the non-restricted ammo looks like it barely reaches 10...

Lets say for sake of argument that it is near in performance to 9mm. Lets face it the difference in pistol caliber performance is rather small. And plenty folks love the 5.56 for 600m shots where the remaining energy is very questionable on paper. And consider the fact that MP5 clones are...

Well its good to know the Secret Service is of the same caliber as a typical Swat I feel better knowing that. I'm sure there are exceptions but come on? And yes a little round that fires 15 rounds a second into a perp in order to incapacitate is a liability with IA and the public in general...

I am not talking about recoil. I am talking about the huge amount of unburnt powder that explodes as it leaves the barrel that a 5.56 powder charge that was never meant to be fired from. A catridge like the new blackout where the design was for short barrels is a different story. I hate to...

The P90 is used by highly trained Secret Service agents where aiming for the medulla oblongata with as said 15 rounds per second of very controllable fire is required for true instant stops. I don't care how great the dentist's bonded projectiles are you just aren't going to beat 15 rounds to...

I have always been leary of rimfire semi's, maybe it was just bad luck with jamo-matics as a kid. I also like bolt action for the cb shorts which are vey quiet for discrete protein aquisition. I have built/designed a solar powered charger for LiFePO4 batteries that literally last a...

Wouldn't the barrel be a good longer range type Recce especially with the ecotech. I mean recce;s are usually SS because you gain accuracy by not haveing the chrome lining. But SS match barrels sacrifice lifespan, this would seem the best of both worlds if S&W bored it like a SS match barrel...

I don't know, 2 seconds to put on a pair of muffs vs adding 1-2 lbs and 8" to the end of a rifle:rolleyes: Every swung a rifle around a hallway for fast target aquisition? If you are fumbling putting them on and they are a hassle, that should be practiced and part of your training, it...

This is just not true, a pistol caliber carbine has one huge advantage over a pistol= shot placement. And if there is one thing all the internet battles on calibers agree on shot placement is key, a stock makes a huge impact on shot placement, especially as you get older. For HD...

I have an M38 , I like these because they were designed for POA without a bayonet. Is a M39 really an upgrade in accuracy worthwhile?

Why is it that the 1969 Gold Spike edition only sells for $500, I bought one back then still NIB and I think it was the worst $100 investment I ever made. Guess I should start shooting the thing.

If you are rich, its fine. Otherwise today they cost way more than they are worth for what you need. Remember also that you should practice with your HD gun, say at least 1k rounds. (you want to make sure the gun, ammo, magazines are reliable and you have inuitive operation.) Why not...

This is exactly why I started the thread :cool:, the issue is compounded 10 fold as one gets older with arthritis. I am no longer "comfortable" with my ability with a pistol, yet am still good with a rifle and one that is light weight and can be swung to target quickly is a huge advantage...

Whats really interesting to me is they are buying AK-47's instead of AK'74's, I mean it wasn't too long ago that a lot of folks thought the 7.62x39 would have become obsolete with Russia near 100% AK-74. Now the latest wars have brought about a resurgence in popularity for the old 7.62x39...

I think it is dangerous to think that hunters and target shooters who have never seen combat would ever be successful engaging a gunfight over 100m. Someone with experience and the background, sure if they are with a well resourced army. But most of us would be foolish to ever consider using...

I think the hidden question in all this is how much ammo you think is a good safety stock and how much money you have to spend. For the average guy I think buying an SLG-31 and 10k rounds of 7N6 for $2300 is a better choice than a Colt 6920 +10k rounds of LC XM193 for $4400...

Take all that weight off your Colt, replace the barrel with a 14.5" middy pencil barrel, get it under 6lbs, then you may see the real advantage of the platform. Ergonomic, fast manuverable as hell. Practical. Just have a 6" rimifire semi pistol for scavaging food when you scoot and shoot...

Ok a SBR 9mm isn't "practical" as a 9mm pistole is a better choice. But an AR loaded with .223 from a 10.5" barrel at 2200fps muzzel vel with a 6" 1lb can isn't a SBR rifle, its a suppresed AR thats 16" from breach to muzzel and heavier than an M4. So back to the original question what is...

A pistol is actually not as manuverable as an MP5, the stock actually keeps the end of the weapon closer to the shooter than holding a pistol at arms length. Plus you can't put a red dot on a glock. Reddot/reflex optics increase manuverability considerably. I'm not dead set on the 9mm...

A suppressor is a hassel because it weighs a ton, adds length, dirties the chamber, and they wear out. Which is why I question not just using a 9mm upper in the first place, the ballistics of a 10" .223 are very much not arguably better than a 9mm JHP moving at 1500ft/s. A short barrel...
