They are a little bit past Sierra, but not quite as far out as Uniform ;) .

Ms. Teri, my post was not meant to cause you offence, nor was it targeted specifically at you. I can understand it being a sore point to have permanent damage from something, especially during your era (which I assume is Vietnam era) when troops came home to not such a nice welcome. While I have...

So let me get this straight. You have never known anyone who has served, who has joked specifically about life and death? There is no dark humour to be had by LEO, MIL, prison guards, medical personnel? I'm starting to wonder if you have even served.

That's weird. Most people I know in service (LEO/MIL) usually have a good sense of humour ;). Have a nice day!

That is unfortunate. I think now is the time I would like to say thank you to all of our LEO's. If you are a bank clerk and you have an 'off day' at work, you might have to apologise and recount the stack of bills that a client gave you. As a cop? A bad day could get you and those around you...

By definition, if you are Defending yourself, then you are responding to an attack. Your response may be delayed by a fraction of a second, or much longer. Either way, it is a fact that you are behind the 8 ball, you are responding to something already happening. Yes, being unaware may be...

As I have said previously, an extended magazine is often a pacifier. You still have one barrel and can only shoot in one direction. You also do not have the ability to slow down time. Go ahead, carry a 100 round magazine. You're still taking return fire in a second. In fact, as defenders, we are...

'You can't always count on luck, but luck sure does count!' It just so happens to work that way for the bad guys too :confused:.

Forget the concealed carry situation. Your reference is the most terrifying thing in this thread ;) . Serpico, the man who served, got shot, risked life and limb in his service and then after a single one night stand, lost over 90% of his pension that he worked so hard for. I will definitely...

Always good to get other people's experience. I have a 642 and a P365. The 642 is lighter and more concealable for me than a fully loaded P365. I can ankle or pocket the 642 and it disappears, however the P365 has harsh angles that stick out. My P365 is also a true 10 shot. I carried 10+1 and on...

Thanks to your photographs, I now have a much better idea of size comparison. Thank you. This was very helpful.

All good things. If you like how it shoots and how it feels, that might be for you! My partner carries a Glock 19. She is fairly tall and found a method of carry that works for her. She shoots fairly well with it and I feel comfortable with her skill level and the size of round and capacity...

I have been seeing the J frame 32 Magnum revolvers around lately. The situation is this: For discreet carry in nice clothes (such as a small dress trouser pocket). Think of a situation where you can't carry a real gun, but a M&P Body Guard 380, Beretta Tom Cat 32, Keltec P3AT, or J frame. I...

Nothing wrong with that gun at all, but... What do you think about it? Do you like the size of it? If that is the main factor, we can suggest guns in that size. Are you attached to 380 specifically? There are many good 380's. Forum members can be a very particular bunch, and I don't want you to...

Back on another forum, we have a combat veteran who upon coming home stateside, carried a 44 magnum. He liked the platform and the cartridge, and we were having this very same discussion. He brought up some good points that were basically along these lines: 1. Your Glock? does it have a...
