To me, it looks like the probability of a major SHTF event occurring in the near future is very high.
The middle East looks like it could totally explode and minute. Iran has been enriched and emboldened by the Neo-Marxist Dems.
Iran is now threating to directly hit Israel. Israel will hit...
I have a friend who wants a handgun for protection - he has to visit bad sections of town at night sometimes for his job.
His mechanical aptitude peaked the day he learned how to operate a manual screwdriver.
I can imagine the gun getting ZERO attention for many years and then being brought...
What do you think about the ability to shoot a 380 cartridge in a pistol chambered for 9mm?
I know the recoils spring would need to be lighter.
Would the gun function?
Would the mags work?
I have seen people shoot 40 cal in a 10mm Glock with no issue.
What do you think?
This is for home defense not for CCW.
I would say the needed criteria would be:
Low recoil
Decent round capacity
East to operate in regard to making ready to shoot and shooting. Not including cleaning and loading.
Terminal effectiveness
A small enough grip that a small weak hand could hold on...
Question: Why does Kimber have a bad reputation?
I don't know. The first that I heard of Kimber was in the 90's. Their stock 1911's had features only seen prior on custom pistols such as decent sights and beavertail grip safety. Their reputation was stellar. At the time they only made two...
There seems to be an awful lot of hoopla around 3 pretty new 9mm models.
I am talking about the:
1) Dan Wesson DWX
2) Dan Wesson DWX Compact
3) CZ Shadow 2 Compact
Which one would you prefer to own and why?
If you must, feel free to write-in your fav.
I have heard good things about this semi. I think Mossberg recommends cleaning it at least every 1500 rounds.
It is supposed to be very reliable with a wide range of ammo.
Any of you have first hand experience with one?
Looking at many videos on ballistic gel testing, it seems like there's not much difference in performance - shot from a pistol - between 5.7 and modern 22 mag ammo optimized for short barrels.
Then looking at 22lr Punch vs 22 mag and there doesn't seem to be much difference in ballistic gel...
For years there was only the one made by FN. Now Ruger, S&W, and Palmetto State Armory make a 5.7.
Which is your favorite?
Even though more companies are making 5.7 ammo, it is still very expensive.
What is your take on the cartridge?
Brand new LCP Max with a 13lb Wolff recoil spring and 3 different types of ammo at a distance of 7 yards.
Standard FMJ was pleasant to shoot and cycled well - No issues
Hornady 90 grain critical defense was quite snappy - No issues
Underwood 68 grain +P Xtreme Defense was snappy about the...
I wanted to hear what the experts had to say.
I have never had a reason to replace a recoil spring with a non-stock spring.
I have heard that a stronger recoil spring will allow a pistol to have less wear and tear while shooting hot ammo - say +P rounds.
Assuming that the pistol is able to...
