And to add on my redundant comment. Simple lawyer stuff. Never buy anything across a state line with a check. Second, never buy anything online with a Debit card, like a check your money is gone, the instant they process it, and no, debit cards are NEVER as safe as credit cards. Third...

I am aware but they are showing up for sale lately. I am also seeing a printed plastic one that looks pretty cheap on line, maybe not in person, I have a hard time accepting plastic on guns, although the one in my pocket is mostly plastic. LOL

I am a I am aware, some of the other brands on the net are not, they are cheap looking plastic. I will probably buy a couple of those Robertson's, although I do not use them much and have a couple real ones. I do wish I had the brass polished ones to dress up a couple old ones. I have...

You have any evidence of that? Case evaluation reports? Every time a cop dies in such an event there is detailed after action report detailing such events. Show me cases where a cop carrying a revolver struggled with a perp and was killed. You might know of such cases, I do not and I have been...

I put on on a model 36 as a backup to police work. The problem is most CCW carry or police emergency use involves only one hand on the gun which is fine for close work. But in police work, your primary gun may run dry and you may need to shoot back at 20-30-50 yards. We found that cocking the...

Same here. I spent a lifetime of carrying in uniform and not in uniform as a special agent and now as an old guy going about my business. I see no value in open carry unless I am in the boonies. I see those guys in Walmart sometimes, even with top 1911s, wearing their 5.11 pants and...

Actually, I do not understand you at all. You must live near a safe city. Why no long gun when going to town? LOL Same here, always a pocket pistol and a bigger handgun in the console, at least a Glock 19. And if I am there after dark, there may be a third one. And those city visits. There...

The appearance has value in my book. Guns carried for defense, need not win any beauty contests, but there is nothing wrong with spicing up the look. When I bought my first 44, it was a big deal to have the 3 Ts, that is Target Trigger, Target Hammer and Target Stock, white outline rear sight...

I worked 4 law enforcement jobs plus 24 years military. I have had a little CS, CN and Mace and others. But I could never work in a prison. Congrats to you guys who can do that. Funny story. Long ago I came home from work to find my young bride wearing sexy nightgown, there was wine or...

And if you center tap each of those 4 one time, you still have two rounds left. Good planning. Those Glock switches to scare me, unless they were on my gun. Good guys do not have those, so we are at disadvantage is they are still able to shoot back. Remind me to stay out of your neighborhood...

In most situations you run out of time before you run out of ammo. This is possible the most misunderstood concept of any fight. A sucker punch will win most fights, we know that. We also know that after one tap on the nose, one that follows quickly maintains the momentum of the fight and...

I think you may be right. I also think that security officers are often at greater risk than police. They know we have 40 guys available on the radio and they know they can go to jail in minutes. They do not fear that from a security officer and many, especially the young ones get overly...

And what is your point? In a struggle which is better, the semi auto, the wheel gun, or maybe some derringer type device? Anybody can get sucker punched, but we try to avoid that, any movement when it comes can save your bacon, and allow you to pivot or move into a better position for defense...

I was just looking at a J Frame that I have with the T Grip on it and was reminded that the change of angle of the grip is more important as we get older and lose grip strength. It is harder to put the pad of the trigger finger on the trigger with a weak grip. And the recoil is worse with that...

Depends on the place, the threat and your ability to move. If 3 guys approach armed and you shoot each of them once and run behind a nearby car or dumpster, 5-6 rounds may be far more than you need. I occasionally carry, depending on location, and perceived threat, a 30.5 ounce 5 shot 44 mag...
