    Fascinating Failure: The .45 Winchester Magnum

    Copy that. I had a Mod 29 back in the day qualifying on our sheriff's range. Everybody else was shooting .38 wadcutters. When that .44 torched off, everyone paid attention. Big boom and a blue muzzle flash:oops::oops: even during the day.

    Fascinating Failure: The .45 Winchester Magnum

    I put an 18 1/2 lb. spring in my Springfield Loaded and for "social carry", shoot Double Taps SMC 185 Gr. at 1200 fps or their 230 gr. at 1130 fps, just shy of a +P load. Recoil is still manageable, but still hotter that standard .45 loads.

    The BAR in Korea

    That's weird, they usually gave it to the bigger guys. It is cumbersome to carry that's a fact.

    The BAR in Korea

    We had a BAR in our SWAT locker that our then Sheriff had liberated from somewhere. Back in the day, we had Thompsons (stick and drum mags), Winchester lever guns, and even some Reising sub guns. That was the department "heavy" armament at the time. We even had a jeep with a Ma Deuce mounted on...

    Ayoob: Is Open-Carry Irresponsible (or the Right Move)?

    Never a fan of open/exposed carry. If I'm a bad guy gonna do some harm, that wearer would be the first to hit or at least cover. Beat the drop? I don't think the odds are in your favor. Concealed, I have the advantage of waiting until I can get a clear shot.

    Polish PM-63 RAK Compact Machine Pistol

    For sure, it's pretty snappy, stings just a tad, that's why I carry the pro comp now.

    Polish PM-63 RAK Compact Machine Pistol

    Nice collection bro. Agreed, the single action pull is a bear unless you get used to it, has some nasty recoil tho. Never had trouble with the SA though. I like it because it's slim, light, and is a good summer/lightweight clothing piece. I've since replaced it for EDC with a Hellcat Pro Comp w/rds.

    Polish PM-63 RAK Compact Machine Pistol

    I really enjoyed reading about the PM 63. I love cold war pieces. I just happen to have its cousin, a Polish P-64 also in 9x18 MAK made by Lucznic, Radom, Poland, 1968 stamped with an 11 in a circle. It's a snappy little shooter so I put some Talon Grip panels on it.

    Tarani: The Hesitation Escalation

    It's all about situation awareness. If you have that, chances are great that you'll be fine. I drive a nice car, and my office is in a crappy part of another town away from my residence. I'm always aware of a possible car jack attempt, the bump and jack attempt, hazardous situations, or getting...

    Operation Anthropoid: Killing the Butcher of Prague

    As it's been pointed out, the Stens were prone to malfunctions. You always need to function check your gear before an op just for that reason. I realize that was tough to do given the circumstances of being in Nazi occupied territory, but the inevitable failure was catastrophic. At least it...

    Is Car Carry a Mistake?

    I heard that, I normally carry my M1A and Benelli M4 with appropriate load out's along with all my tac gear and trauma kit in the back of my SUV. Also, a .40 Smith in the rear lock box. I'm covered for whatever.
