My skepticism is not aimed at the fact of A.O.'s effects on V.N. participants, but rather at the notion that more have succumbed to its effects than actually participated anywhere in the region. And also that birth defects can necessarily be attributed to a parent's exposure. -

"No definitive evidence" between exposure and birth defects. That's what I take from it. Thank you. Same with alleged illness from being around certain household herbicides. Any who ever sprayed dandelions then later developed cancer can join in a class action lawsuit and claim their share of...

There's virtually no way to be sure an offspring's ailments were caused by a father's exposure to a chemical. But I'd appreciate access to any details available. -

How does Agent Orange kill slowly? Serious question, none of the many VN vets I've known have succumbed to it. -

Great article! I'm intrigued by the internal 10-round capacity. Mr Dabbs wrote that Mike was "one of as many as 2.8 million American vets who have thus far had their lives cut short" by Agent Orange. How is that possible? The American Legion states (emphasis added): "3,403,100 (Including...

We all play the percentages in life, consciously or otherwise. For example, we don't drive around in armored cars like many billionaires do. There's grocery shopping in the Sout' Side of Chicago, vs in, say, Bozeman, MT (to toss a dart at the map.) -

For EDC, everywhere, I carry an LCRx w/ (six) 32 H&R mags, in a pants pocket. Point, pull trigger - bang. Repeat as needed. When I do carry my Hellcat Pro it's in perceived higher threat, high-profile venues (e.g. crowded festivals, tourist venues, bad neighborhoods, etc.), in an IWB holster...

Finally adjusted POI for the Crimson Trace RAD Micro on my Hellcat Pro. Man, those windage/elevation screws are touchy! I assumed 1/4 turn would barely move POI. Wrong. Anyway, shooting groups with the red dot is sooo much easier than open sights. And now I can call my shots, as a dancing dot...

PSI as in lbs/sq in ? What tool do you use that displays in PSI? -

I bought a Wiha T10 security driver, assuming German quality and more compliant dimensions of a security type may combine for a tighter fit in 3rd-world screws. I hope. -

May I ask where you found a T10 security bit? My cheap T10 bit is a loose fit in my Pro's OSP screws. "Torx security" is a new concept for me. ;-) -

Did you ever get a footprint drawing for Hellcat Pro? I need one too! -

Thanks for the tip. Using an online recoil calculator, I make that round's recoil ~4.0 lb-ft. Using data from LuckyGunner's tests, I notice Speer 115-gr Gold Dot @1143 (measured) comes in 4.1 lb-ft, and was very consistent in penetration test, whereas Speer 147-gr G.D. came in 4.6 lb-ft. But...

I wish the author had pointed out a few ammo types which showed more manageable recoil. I'm very much interested in finding a softer-recoiling 9mm round for my Hellcat Pro which is reasonably available. All I require for defensive ammo is passing the LuckyGunner (FBI) consistent 12"-18"...
