Back in 1995, my brother bought a 7.5" Ruger Super Blackhawk off our brother-in-law. Rough finish-wise, but in excellent condition mechanically. He was on deployment in Okinawa at the time, and I had just gotten out of the Corps. I picked the gun up for him and surprised him with some custom...

The test has great data that I will definitely reference when looking at carry ammo, but there is additional criteria you'll need before making a final decision. For me the additional criteria I'll look at are, in order of importance: 1. Reliable in the weapon I will use it in 2. Flash...

They work well.

Tuesday as in today.

Hah! I wish. I'm out of town, won't be back until Tuesday afternoon.

Frank at Dobbs Defense has her all finished up. I'll pick up tomorrow and assemble/mount scope.

That's one of the good things about long guns; their versatility.

Nowhere in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA, the Georgia "lawbook") is there mention of offense or defense in regards to deadly force. The bad guy is always going to start on the offense; that's what makes him the bad guy. We have to start on the defense, but as quickly as possible...

I do not, and never have. That's a recipe for disaster, it's against the training I've received, and contradictory to many real world experiences I've had. To attempt to ID someone as a threat or not based simply on the way they are dressed is a bad tactic of the highest order. Not only...

Just to try and get this train wreck back a little closer to its original lane; I like the article and enjoyed reading it. I will recommend it my students. The author and I do not agree on a few points, but that does not mean that either of us is wrong......and I'm not saying that ANYTHING...

That, I believe, is one of the issues here in this discussion. You state, "If I am ever in that situation....". I have been in that situation, more than once, as have other LEO's here. We are speaking from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, not armchair quarterbacking. When someone who has never been a...

In addition, you have officers that are working undercover, or have worked undercover for many years. In order to survive and play their role, they have to adopt methods of dress, speech and other mannerisms to make themselves more believable and effective. I used to go out and buy crack...

Sadly, yes. I've seen LEO's that did exactly that during training scenarios. During a Simunitions training scenario, I was trying to clue the plainclothes LEO in on the fact that he had yet to ID himself, either verbally or by showing a badge. I kept asking, "Why should I listen to you...

As a LEO that owns a successive firearms training school, that teaches civilians, LE, and military, I am not influenced by whether or not the subject on the scene in plainclothes is carrying a handgun or a long gun. The LEO's that I know and know well are not influenced by this either. This...

While I sometimes do carry a "truck gun", the OP made several valid points. Like every single other consideration when talking firearms, tactics and techniques, you need to weigh the pros and the cons and make a choice based on what is most important to YOU. Everyone looks at things a little...

Ain't getting shiny yet, but it will eventually.
