      Lessons learned from the Zimmerman trial.

      I am going to carry as usual. Self preservation will still govern my actions. If I find myself in the same kind of confrontation that Z was unfortunate enough to be involved in, I still would defend myself. I would prefer to live out my natural life and not have it taken away by a street thug...

      REMINGTON 11-87 SPECIAL PURPOSE 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN

      You got a great buy. Appears that with the extended magazine, the gun would make for an excellent home defense weapon. I, too owned the 1187 Special Purpose 12 gauge. I traded it off a few years ago after injuring both shoulders in accidents. I have since acquired a 1187 in 20 gauge. Love it...

      I'm begining to understand the popularity of the ........

      Shot one growing up. My uncle supplied my dad with all the M1 Carbine ammo my dad wanted free as he had access to it through his NG position in the 1960s. We shot the carbine like most of our other country friends shot the 22. It was/is a great plucking rifle. It is also a good small varmint...

      What kind of gun did zimmerman use?

      Thanks for the sites. FoxNews in several broadcasts, have reported he will receive the gun back but have not been specific as to when. On a side note, while I fully think Z was in the right and I would have done the same thing, I would probably destroy the gun just to get the memories it would...

      Zimmerman Trial

      I think both the prosecutor and the originally assigned special prosecutor should be fully investigated for their rolls in this trial. Based on what I have seen and read, this trial should have never happened. Appears these people had an agenda other than to bring justice to a tragic event. No...

      Zimmerman Trial

      Nice summary of the basic factual content of this tragic case. Certainly appears Martin initiated the final confrontation and was the physical aggressor. Given these basic facts, I personally feel Zimmerman had every right to use deadly force to protect his life. Under the same circumstances, I...

      I'll never forgive George Zimmerman...

      I too had an unreliable Kel-Tec. I purchased a Kel-Tec P3AT about 4 or 5 years ago in the early dark days of very small carry guns. The Kel-Tec at times did not feed reliably and would on occasion not eject properly. The gun was consistant as I had problems with every ammo tried, be it full...

      Caliber wars redux

      Response predictable. Do you even know/understand the meaning of the word semantics? I choose to dwell on substantive information based on sources I trust not BS with minimal backup. Your choice of terms sounds good but, as usual, lack definitive backup. Are you suggesting I should not trust The...

      Caliber wars redux

      First of all, I am no expert on ballistics. I read the popular gun magazines and use their advice to select my defensive ammo. However, anytime someone uses such all inclusive terms as NO ONE or ALL I begin to question their how really knowledgeable they are on a subject. How do you know...

      Caliber wars redux

      Mr Expert. How do you know the authors of Handgun Stopping Power by Marshall and Sanow cherry picked the cases? I have read that statement a hundred times but no one commenter has yet chosen to provide documentation of this. Without proof, the comment is just an opinion and not factual. And are...

      Caliber wars redux

      That statement is not quite true. While the M&S study has many distractors, there are others who site their work. The work certainly has flaws but there is a good amount of data that is reasonably accurate in it. One needs to read it for themselves and decide. I certainly do not agree with...

      Caliber wars redux

      It's all about shot placement and an effective weapon/ammo combination. My first preference would always be my shotgun or AR in 6.8 but the guns will not fit in my pocket. Thus I have to rely on handguns when out and about. I was required to carry the 1911 in the early 70s in the military but...

      Caliber wars redux

      Clearly those who discount stopping power in the evaluation of ammo have not done their homework. All serious studies using real life shootings as the basis for their stopping power effectiveness define stopping power as one of the critical gauges of the effectiveness of a round. The goal in a...

      Caliber wars redux

      If your premise was correct that the size of the round and its velocity were the only factors in STOPPING a bad guy, then of course the 45 acp would be the round to use. But why stop at the 45 acp, why not use only a 44 magnum or larger caliber? According to an article in Guns Magazine i read...

      How would a bunny hugger know I had "dangerous guns" in my house? And what is a "dangerous gun" as defined by the huggers? Are there public data base(s) that is(are) available to the general public? Or is the information obtained by word of mouth? I thought the Indiana Carry licensee info was no...

      Next Handgun Purchase

      Hi, while I have not shot the S&W or Ruger mentioned previously, they consistently get good reviews from shooters and gun writers alike. I do, however, own and shoot a S&W 617 9 shot revolver. The gun can be a bit pricey but with persistence, the can be found at more fair prices at the gun shows...

      Kel-tec P11 vs new Taurus Millennium pro G2 p140 or p111

      Hi, I purchased the Taurus PT111 Mill Pro SS 3rd generation a few months back, the apparent predecessor to the G2. To me the build quality of my PT111 is consistent with my Beretta 92FS SS VERTEC and my Sig P938. I was unaware the G2 was in the pipeline or I may have waited. That said, I am very...

      "Pocket" 9mm Sig 938, Beretta Nano, Kahr CM9 ?

      I own and have shot both the Kahr PM9 and the Sig P938 extensively. Both guns have been completely reliable. The Sig pocket carries very easily for me with a decent holster. I have owned the Kahr for over 5 years.The Kahr has never quite felt comfortable to me. The Kahr seems to be like a brick...

      Groundhog gun

      I would think a hit with a decent quality .223 round impacting almost anyplace in the torso would kill a ground hog, either immediately or over a short period of time because of the wound cavity a .223 should produce. Back in the late 1970s when I farmed near Winchester, IN, I used to carry a...

      Pop Guns Stupid High USED Gun Prices

      I too am not a fan of Pop Guns. I used to do business there when the owner's son worked the counter years ago. He was a decent and fair salesperson, at least to me. I had purchased several weapons and a fair amount of ammo there. After the son left, the other employees I dealt with were not...
