      Secret Service officer shoots himself ND

      A fellow LEO at a department outside Memphis had a AD with a backup 380 in his squad car. It dented a fire extinguisher. We just so happened to be qualifying a couple weeks later and they put him on a certain lane. When the targets turned they had a picture of that same fire extinguisher on...

      Secret Service officer shoots himself ND

      I investigated one from our village idiot with a Beretta 92D DAO (yes a 13 pound DAO) said he didn’t pull the trigger. Like that was his one sentence memo didn’t even try to say he started to drop it and tried catching it. Was downloading it and it went off…….theough the center console of the...

      Gauging interest in a Darryl Bolke Bryan Eastridge class

      Respectfully start your own post if you really don’t like Bolke. Negative or telling folks to save their money on a thread trying to promote it is a douche move. You aren’t interested scroll on! Bolke has always delivered and then some at every class I have been to with him. And while Tac Con...

      21 Sharp-New cartridge

      I guess these corporations have forgotten about what happened to Coca-Cola in 1985 with that whole “new coke” BS! At least with 30 Super carry it caused the support for the 32 H&R mag guys to ge the support they needed but the 21 Winchester thing I just don’t see it! If that’s anyone’s thing...

      Needing an honest dealer to sell a collection

      Your best bet for fair or above fair price would be listing in Gunbroker. I use to help list guns for Top Guns in Terre Haute Indiana. They will charge you 15% which isn’t bad especially if you’re talking a collection however the owner might work a deal. If that won’t work for you I totally...

      Travel/Truck gun

      Out of your choice the Ruger. That said I don’t do “vehicle guns” When I travel I usually run a S&W M&P 45 2.0 compact because it has 10 round mags and or a 6 shot K frame because both are legal in every state. I travel a lot to Washington State and while their mag restrictions ban...

      Favorite full/duty sized 9mm

      Yup. And you almost never hear them at national level classes like Rangemaster Spaulding’s, Bolke Hearne Haggards etc But they’d have to actually attend which they don’t!

      Favorite full/duty sized 9mm

      It’s sort of funny how a Fudd or dummy label gets thrown at someone because the type of firearm. I have seen some guys that carried a 1911 Commander as a LEO that would run a 5X5x5 drill on a 3x5 card in 2.5 seconds with almost every round touching. Something 3/4th of the label callers would...

      How does everyone set up their home defense AR?

      I don’t use my AT’s as a primary home defense platform however I have one set up with a Vikings Tactics light mount and Aimpoint Patrol Rifle Ootic (it works and was similar to the M68 I ran and has been great through about 10,000 rounds) Then I have a second one that is straight up stock...

      Holsters

      The issue I see at gun shows is a lot are just not quality enough. Sure you can have them Mike your gun but I have had zero luck with them still having a sloppy fit. I’d recommend any of the quality makers wether leather or Kydex you can find QUALITY holsters from Safariland , Son Hume DeSantis...

      Input please…..

      ^^THIS^^ I love the Sig 22x series and the new Legion all come with optics cut. I have ran Sig 220, 228 and a personal 226 Legion combined for the last 30 year and you won’t find a better hammer fired gun. And I say that as I have ran them (especially the 228) pretty hard

      Ruger LC carbine in 10mm

      I’d still rather have a PC type or Marlin Camp Carbine with a regular stock as an option.

      Just curious Not using Paper Targets

      The downside with steel is you generally only get a gong and while you can see impact on fresh painted ones you can’t score them. So I am a huge advocate of running B8 targets (targets4free you can print tme for free) and the many many assessment drills on them with a timer. I use par time...

      What's your favorite caliber, and why?

      I have heard of several similar stories from reliable sources like Bolke Spaulding etc. I believe the case I mentioned was a 22 handgun as most all 22 hits from a rifle seem to have been fatal I also will say I seen some of the most brutal blunt force trama as well as interviews a ton on...

      What is the most reliable handgun for Self Defense under $400

      I did not hear the specific lights mentioned however about every agency had the issues from Illinois to LA area and others. So I would probably be safe to presume several different lights could have caused the issue.

      Engaging Fugutives

      Respectfully, Your comment was a blanket statement. You stated folks can do “what it takes for a citizens arrest” That was wide open and not a factual representation. Yes there is specific situations where a citizens arrest can be applied however, What you suggested was it a Resonable physical...

      Engaging Fugutives

      Not quite. There is a difference between a forcible felony and a felony. Example someone fleeing in a vehicle or running away with say a TV falls under TN vs Gardner and Police or you can’t shoot. There has to be circumstances met like he was shooting people from the car etc. Also just because...

      What's your favorite caliber, and why?

      Not disputing he Dr however there are exceptions. Dave Spaulding mentioned a case where a victim shot was at the hospital getting an MRI and something was jumping around inside his heart….it was a 22LR bullet he had just been shot with like a jumping bean every heart beat. He survived. Real...
