best carry caliber for hiking, wildlife protection
Patton replied to Maestrorr's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Oh yeah, if you buy a woods gun 10mm should be it. I have friends in Alaska that say for years 44mag was a staple in every household, you could buy 44mag ammo at the grocery store. However 10mm is becoming very popular. Do to affordability and the capability of smaller shooters taken multiple well placed shots, 10mm is getting a following. -
Troubling news for the Trayvon Martin camp

Makes sense, I actually heard there was 6 but thought I heard wrong or they were mistaken. -

Our justice system was pretty much broken from its inception. It is so hard to convict by getting all 12 jurors to come to the same decision, especially to convict. There are way to many questions in this case for him to be convicted. I personally can't come to a decision in this case. I understand why each party involved did everything they did. While there was some mistakes nothing illegal was committed, assuming Zimmerman shot Martin believing his head getting pounded into the ground was a deadly act. Note to everyone: never underestimate someone by their age, weight, or sex. I have seen some bad dudes finally get their ass handed to them by a teenager. -
I have also seen the exact opposite with the app. It will be showing no ammo in stock and everything but 22 and 9mm will be on the shelf.

Well of course 10mm would be better but he is asking which of the two guns he owns will work best. No way would I hike in grizzly country with either one of those. As far as for TN, either one will work. I still think you are more likely to discover 2 legged threats while hiking around here. -

Normally I would pick a 45 over a 9mm for woods duty but this is a tuff one. Understand in the woods an aggressive animal will be very determined to get you and there is no where to run. On the street a turd may retreat after the first shot and you will be fleeing in your car in less than 2 minutes. People unlike animals realize they have been shot and suffer psychological effects and they try to nurse their wound or lay down. An animal has no clue what the hell happened that is why they run half a mile after getting hit with a hi powered rifle. With the XDS 6 or even 8 rounds seems uncomfortable to me asumming you can't get a magazine change in. Another thing, can you empty the Glock (18rds or 16) faster than the XDS? -
Sportsmans Warehouse has pistol ammo in stock.................
Patton replied to a topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I have seen a lot of 9mm just in the past week. I still am not seeing a whole lot of .380 and no bulk pack 22's, even though I am not looking. -
I know they say the VP70 was first but the Remington was making the bolt action pistols with plastic grips back in the 60's.
-
H&K I believe could have been a lot more successful with the VP70 if it had been easier to use and understand. The VP70 confused people. Why was a plastic gun so heavy and expensive ? Combine that with the fact the versions available in the US were not selective fire with an attachable stock. Americans thought they were paying for features they weren't getting. Then they try to squeeze the trigger and discover a 20 pound trigger pull. Where Glock scored was easy to purchase and fire, cheap non-dumbed down for US market, lightweight pistols.

I really believe the first striker fired handguns were Browning FN 1900's.

Be sure and tell them after they hand over the gift card that you are selling toy guns to buy real guns.

If I really wanted to soak innocent people I would open up on them with a water hose or a water ballon. Just like; If an international or domestic terrorist really wanted to injure a lot of innocent people he would drive a Suburban down a busy sidewalk or set off an IED.

Your out of luck, you might be able to give it away for firewood once it has been dropped on the frond into manageable lengths.

Yes, they can. Find someone who reloads to pull them and do them right. Exactly!

It's a 9mm, find me some ammo. I am just kidding. Honestly I don't know if I could handle it, it is that annoying. I actually took 100 rounds with me but decided to only shoot 50 knowing I could switch out parts to try and get it working. Another issue is people report issues occurring more frequently after 500, 1k, or even 3k rounds. I have the o-4-3 RSA and the 30274 ejector which are the latest updates.

Yesterday I picked up a Gen4 G19 (Dec12 test fire date)used but looks like new. I have a flawless Gen4 23(2k rounds) 26, and 27. I shot 50 rounds through the new 19 and almost every round ejected brass to face. Even hi pressured self defense rounds were hitting BTF. It will be several days before I can switch out parts and get back to the range. I am going to switch out the extractor first.

My grandfathers were too young to have been in WWII, but I think of a few WWII veterans I have known personally in my life. My old high school girlfriend was raised by her grandparents and her grandfather was a DDay survivor. I can't remember a single word he ever spoke of it. His granddaughter said he only spoke of it a few times during her life.

Gt Distributors has them also in stock but for $25.

Need some help with glock 19 concealed carry methods
Patton replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
The most comfortable holsters to me are those that ride high and tight to the body. I always praise the Glock Sport Combat holster, it rides high, tight against the body, and has a slight cant. -
I love a classic Bianchi, they just remind me of a better time in my life(and A particular girl).

I had a Shield but couldn't quite get over my Glock love. The Shields handle like a fullsize handgun and shoot well. I would have no concerns carrying one on plain clothes assignment, off duty, or as a BUG. In these cases i would be very likely to need to take shots at 30 plus feet. A lot of people use their daily carry piece on the nightstand rather than opening the safe before bed and before leaving the house, I would have no concern with using a Shield with 7-9round capacity to get me to a more effective long gun. So I could see a lot of benefit to having night sights on a Shield. Disclaimer: I don't have night sights on any of my personal guns.

I have been fortunate to not experience but maybe one or two BTF out of thousands of rounds through 2008 and newer Glocks. Most of the guys with troubles say they have occurred and gotten worse after a couple hundred rounds. I read of one guy that was getting BTF almost every round after 1k rounds, it was a Gen3 G19 also.

Put it this way, I trust my reloads more than factory ammo. I can not say the same for someone else's reloads.
