Not seeing the relevance. Most defensive uses of firearms are reactive.
Yea, and surprise works both ways.Not seeing the relevance. Most defensive uses of firearms are reactive.
Im not assuming-
I’m stating…. 5-6 accurate shot- from any firearm is is sufficient.
And if your pocket piece is a hammerless revolver you can shoot multiple shot right through the pocket.Yea, and surprise works both ways.
The pocket carry guys always tell you its so quick because you have your hand on the gun, until real life kicks in, and you dont every second of the day. If youre lucky, you "might" see it coming and try, but the thought of getting caught with my hand in my pocket, up close to someone who can very easily trap it there, gives me the heebie jeebies.
"Effective"?Yet please tell me, is the 1911 45 acp not effective?
No one can reasonably advise that any hand gun "is effective" or "is not effective" for SD. It's a fool's errand.
I did not.So the 1911-You say is Maybe a effective tool?
I found--and so, in fact, did many of the other participants in my first class--that I could handle a larger 9 much more effectively in defensive drills than a .45. Almost all military and law enforcement users have concluded the same thing.That could be construed as A statement advocating your 9mm and is very much something Many Many people will disagree with You about...
Alrighty then. But many very knowledgeable people have selected other choices.Its a proven fact the 7 shot 1911 Is a sufficient effective handgun for defense.
You obviously did not understand the post. Again, the gist is this: no one can reasonably advise that any hand gun "is effective" or "is not effective" for SD. It's a fool's errand. That's because of the number of variables involved, including in particular the complexities of handgun wounding mechanics. Some are likely to perform better than others, but all are compromises.That’s a Col-De-Sac of a comment that assist the conversation None.
That is absurd in the extreme.Don’t carry a firearm as a defense weapon then.
The 1911 is my choice for a handgun, and has been for over 30 years. However, a Tom Givens quote I often share is...-Is the 1911 45 acp with its single stack mag ineffective? Or a terrible choice?
