    9mm versus 40

    If U touch off a 40 in an enclosed area or inside a vehicle it will negatively effect your hearing (more so than a 9mm) If you're in a low light situation and there's still a threat your hearing could be vital, If U have a situation where U fire multiple rounds in rapid succession at center...

    Thoughts as to value of an old Highway Patrolman

    I carried one for about 2 yrs and couldn't get rid of it fast enough - it was like a boat anchor - most LE copies were etched we were offered to buy them for about 150 each, I passed, some bought two or three. They told us the rest went to S America. They went when we got females, small hands...

    Police firearms training,,, yeah right.

    The media Loves **** like "88 shots fired" it generates "clicks", from what I know about this event it was a sequence of encounters with different groups of cop shooters....unless you've chased some mutts through blaring bumper to bumper traffic and legions of pedestrians you can't appreciate...

    Police firearms training,,, yeah right.

Some great marksmen are piss poor cops - some really good cops if given the chance would not even carry a fire arm - many good cops would rather have a...

    need help

    There's probably some videos on youtube for reassembly of the shield - I think I did that once with a glock, put the recoil spring in backwards but discovered it before trying to re-assemble it.

    Need Opinions: Is K-frame 4" barrel tto big for conceal carry?

    I think anything bigger than a J frame is less desirable - consider the tactical aspects of drawing a "big" gun in a threatening situation (U may not always know what's exactly going down) a J frame or a Smith shield or a Glock 26 or 27, et al can be better concealed even in your hand than a...

    LGS NO CONCEALED CARRY

    Signs are not enforceable its merely a request.....if they observe that you are armed (its your fault) and then they can revoke your right to be on the premises by asking you to leave, if u don't you're trespassing.

    Guns In Vehicles: Don't Do It.

    Always consider the CIVIL liabilities Leave your gun in a vehicle or a unoccupied motel room and someone gets killed or maimed you'll get "served" a few months later - if you're a federal agent you've got Uncle deep pockets Sam, that's good but otherwise they'll go after your home owners...

    Some Photos from the NYPD Outdoor Range

    what do you say when asked "why do you carry"

    "To preserve human life" ? sounds like a line from a "Pink Panther" movie, none of us is empowered or expected to be a super hero….MY human life is numero uno and family is next - deadly force laws in most states do not place any responsibility on us (unless you have a badge) and even then its...

    Infamous Crime Scenes

    Re: JFK the media always trumped up Oswald as a "marine sharp shooter" he wasn't, he obviously qualified but that was it…….the distance between Oswald and JFK was circa 60 yds I and most of us could have done the same shooting with a handgun with open sights, it was no stupendous shooting feat.
