Paralysis by analysis, way to much free time, and a need to make content.

Then we'd need threads and videos about why you shouldn't do the wrist-twist to flip the cylinder in.

Get a wheelgun; problem solved.

For clarity, I like Massad Ayoob, but i'm curious what everyone thinks.

After the safety stuff is covered - For someone looking to carry: Understand the legal burden they're taking on by carrying a firearm. They need to understand the laws, where they can and can't carry, when they can and can't use their weapon, and what they're likely going to face if they ever do need to. Be honest with themselves. Are they willing to take the life of another human being? Are they a hothead who's likely to escalate situations? If they can't come to terms with reality, do not proceed down this path. Try several. Go to the range with a friend who has a variety, or rent them if they must. Single stacks Double stacks Strikers Hammers Revolvers Choose something they'll actually carry. A steel frame full size with cushy Hogue grips is more comfortable to shoot, but that doesn't make it a great carry gun for most people. Invest in a quality holster. Borrow some to try different brands and configurations if possible. Depending on the weight of the gun, probably a quality belt too. Practice. A lot. For someone who just wants to shoot at a range or plink on a farm: .22LR pistol like a Sig Mosquito, Walther P-22, etc. Great beginner gun. Lower cost than comparable guns Similar operation as larger caliber pistols. Cheaper to feed Easy to shoot and learn the proper way to shoot without developing bad habits like anticipating recoil and flinching.

In may opinion, it’s approached in a manner that doesn’t sugarcoat history. There’s some dramatization, but there are also lots of verifiable facts. For example, they touch on the atrocities committed by King Leopold in the Congo. I’ve read about and watched documentaries in the past that gave me the impression Leopold was equal to or worse than Hitler. There’s a story (not in this series) of Leopoldo’s men forcing natives to tie ropes around their bodies and swing from a cliff using vines, across a valley to another cliff in order to build a bridge. If the natives were afraid, they were executed on the spot. There’s a lot going on, and I don’t feel like I can adequately explain the series by typing a few words here. For example, they talk about the strategic and tactical advantage tribes had against the English in one battle. A battle that tribesmen might have won in the past when both armies were using smooth bore guns. In this particular battle, the British annihilated the native tribesmen, because the British started employing German made machine guns in battle. The battle wasn’t even close. Again, there’s a lot going on. Also, I’m not a person who avoids certain things on television based upon politics, so I’m not looking for an agenda. I process the information, then form my own opinion.

If you have a super tuned extractor it makes sense, but for 99% of us it's not an issue on a Glock or something like that.

I bought one about a month or two ago, I like it so far.

I don't do that as a matter of routine for the reasons he gives. But I don't worry about it if the slide drops on an empty chamber every now and then.

A friend built this for me. If it ever dries up outside it's range time.

I pride myself in never getting sick but here I am coughing my head off. Nose is just running water and I go between the chills and sweating like I'm hauling hay. At least it's not in my chest or anything. Who else has got this crap in the new year.

I've been interested in an original hi power but for lack of knowledge on what's original to the different models and the average prices I haven't made a purchase Wondering if the new sa-35 is as good or better ?

I stopped at one of the deputies car parked alongside the road radaring cars. It was a female officer. I asked her what Rutherford County officers carry pistol were and she told me they carry Glock Mdl 17 9 MM. I asked if she knew what ammo she was carrying and she said it was Hornady Critical Duty in 9 MM. She was knowledgeable and I believe she could shoot. I should have asked if she practiced much but forgot to. I ordered me some Hornady Critical Defense 125 Gr ammo for my 357 Mag this morning. Wanted just a few more self-defense rounds for my ED before the "supposed" price increase. My stash is totally complete now. Got my Hornady Critical Defense 38Spl self-defense ammo yesterday. Didn't purchase the Hornady brand because the Deputy was using it, just likw Hornady. They manufacture excellent self-defense ammo period. Really liked Corbon DPX but they have changed that ammo since the new owners did a hostile takeover of that company. What brand ammo do your guys use in your EDC's?

I think it depends on the shooter. Someone who is really interested in guns might do well with a .380 or 9MM semi auto. On the other hand, someone like my wife who is not big on shooting and only fires a gun about twice a year is better off with a small frame 3 inch .38 revolver. She has no desire to learn about how a pistol functions and does not like having to chamber a round. She loves the simplicity of just opening the cylinder loading the rounds closing it and pulling the trigger.

I have someone that 100% will not carry a 38 revolver because that's what women carry. I explained all the pitfalls and she practiced. She's cleared 100s of stovepipes and dead rounds to the point she expects evary round to fail. It was a PITA. Be careful how you word things. I'm 100% at fault for that one. She however is an absolute beast with a firearm now. I would not want to be someone she feels is a threat.

This is what I do with every new gun I get to help break it in. Sit on the couch and cycle the slide a couple hundred times.

PM sent.

If I see no sign, they see no firearm, I see no issues

They have emailed me to sign up already. I missed the deadline for lower rates but the markings are on the road across from the house. I looked at all options and they seemed to be they best choice. If they are I feel bad for those who have other sat network. They have the cable buried within a mile or so of my place so it won't be much longer. Oddly, the only build back better program I can say I approve of, akin to the rural electrification act.

I'll give you a brief rundown. Two groups of bad people who ruled over people who just wanted to be left alone. Fought a war against bad people who ruled over people who just wanted to be left alone. One group won. That group wrote the history that showed the other group was bad and they were good. A few hundred/thousand years later the group that wrote history is now saying they were bad and the other bad group was good. Apply this to any conflict you choose.

I’ve seen competitive shooters do it 10 times per match.

Not gonna lie, I was expecting something else from your title.

https://www.familyfirearms.com/product/springfield-armory-sa-35-9mm-handgun-hp9201#product_detail $640 shipped. Believe no tax with this dealer. Under $700 w/ transfer and BC.

This thing is sweet.

Since Grayfox bought it up, I just bought a Girsan MPC35 and am pleased with the quality and the way it shoots. I got mine off Gunbroker by the time I paid for everything taxes transfer fee and bought 2extra mags I was close to $700.00. It came with one mag. I got the full size match with straight trigger no mag safety.

I don't do it. Pistols are designed to use the loading round as sort of a buffer to slow down the slide. On an empty chamber, you're slamming steel on steel. However, I've never heard of a gun being damaged by it either. I guess if you did it a lot? I can tell you for absolute fact that dropping a round in the open chamber of a 1911 and releasing the slide on it will damage the extractor. I learned that one the hard way many years ago. As for the wrist flip on a revolver, over time it can affect the crane alignment. Not good.

I've been very happy with mine. Excellent pistol. You might wanna also take a look at the Girsan MCP35. Its a good Hi-Power clone at a good price.

Ever co.e down 40 Nashville area?

Agreed. Coaches and players have largely become mercenaries. In a world of what appears to be limitless money, a man's word is worth very little. Sad commentary on the state of our world.

I have had mine over a year and absolutely love it. Great shooter..

Good price!

Seems a bit small compared to my 950 JDJ pocket rocket. OP, not LEO but I carry Spear Lawman 9mm

Kiffin is the only guy with an ego big enough to want to follow Saban. I suspect Saban named his successor and all this is just for show.

Reached the bottom on this one, $430 Thanks for looking

I mean... fair.

SEVERAL Times @TripleGGG! I always preferred pushing a pickup truck off because I could climb "up" into it vs jumping down into an old Chevy. Safer LOL And builds character

All The Light We Cannot See and The Queen’s Gambit are both great one season shows on Netflix

Almost all of Hollywood is liberal. There would be nothing left to watch if we boycotted based on that.
