Had one of those the other night. Bullets did nothing to the bad guy. Had similar dreams several different times.
You need silver bullets for werewolves. For vampires, firearms just don't work. Remember to carry a stake and hammer for backup.

Some weapons are more complicated to deploy under stress than the 1911 or, for that matter, any modern firearm.. Imagine drawing a long sword as an attack comes down on you. If they could do it hundreds of years ago, we can, too.
HERE is THE WINNER !!!!!To me, the lesson here is to be intimately familiar with any weapon you may have to use to defend your life. If you have a dedicated house gun then you better be just as familiar with it and spend as much time with it as you do your carry gun. I have read way too many people say their house gun never leaves the house and their carry gun never gets shot at the range. I don't understand it. Be familiar and know what will and won't work. I'm sure there will be a bum rush on this thread from the anti-safety crowd but I think the true lesson here is weapon familiarity. You shouldn't wait until a situation like this to discover whether you picked the right gun for you to defend yourself with.
Ugh, that's a bad story. Glad to hear the victim survived. Hope the bad guy got put away.
I agree that 1911 safety is intuitive, while other guns may not be intuitive. If you shoot with a "high thumb" position, taking the safety off is a part of the grip on the 1911. If you train your draw stroke with the thumb safety in mind, you can draw & shoot pretty fast. The last time I timed myself with others, I, with a retention holster and a 1911, was marginally slower than someone with a non-retention holster and a Glock, but I think most of the extra time I needed was for the retention holster.
You also want an ambidextrous safety. There is no telling which hand might end up doing the shooting.
I have a gun with a hard-to-operate safety. I have to use both hands. That gun is my range toy, and I'd never carry it.
BehindBlueI's, can you confirm the make of the pistol?
H&K P2000 LEM FTW
everyone should own a glock
How is being intimately familiar with any weapon I may have to use a winning idea?HERE is THE WINNER !!!!!
I have owned and carried a S&W Mod. 59, since 1979, the safety, is on the slide..... PITA, but I PRACTICE, and then PRACTICE some more !!!!!
