Love my TRP Operator in 10mm. I think the 1911 frame is a perfect 10mm host. I can ring steel at over 100 yards with that thing. It's amazing. 175gr Critical Duty is the car carry round, 200gr DGH is the Backcountry round.

All barrels, apparently, except for the ones they like to be in.

Here in Colorado, Senate Bill 26-043 has been introduced that bans the sale or transfer of gun barrels unless through an FFL and only after significant record-keeping and registry. Tom Sullivan, Colorado's leading gun grabber, who has vowed to introduce new laws "each year, year after year," is...

If the criminal survived and is one of two callers saying they were attacked, and/or others didn't see the whole thing - those accounts to 911 are going to be different. Any responding LEO is going to be taking all 911 reports with a grain of salt until they get on the scene and establish...

There may be many calls all at once from people who did or didn't see the whole thing go down. Neighbors calling saying they heard yelling and loud gunshots but didn't actually *see* anything...people walking down the street who only saw a weapon being fired and someone going down...maybe even...

Agree. In states with strong Castle Doctrine and freer carry laws, this may be easier to do than in states such as Illinois and California.

However, the adrenaline rush and subsequent crash after the event *does* make the initial interview with subjects unreliable. I'm sure as a former LEO, you were probably trained on this, and that you must interview the person several times over a longer time period than the first hour after the...

Lesson 1: if you carry, carry competent legal defense on retainer through USCCA or other competent service providers. Lesson 2: training matters. The caliber does not, when it's been used effectively against a human threat. I always carry 10mm in side- and Backcountry, and as my truck gun...

This is why I carry my 1911 in the sidecountry, and it does make some other folks on the trail uncomfortable. But they have to be alive to be uncomfortable. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/colorado-residents-hikers-encounters-mountain-lions-fatal-attack-site/

I don't carry a full frame 1911 when I'm wearing summer shorts and a t-shirt...unless I want to show everyone my skivvies and draw from my ankles while shuffling briskly. It's a perfect car gun though. Concealed carry in public for me is for managing a strategic retreat while covering my family...

Love my SA TRP Operator 10mm...I feel a full-frame 1911 is the ideal platform for 10mm. Smooth shooting, can practically do 10mm needlepoint at 25+ yards, and 8+1 should be 8 more than you need in just about any self defense situation, against two or four legged threats. When mine is in the...

I wouldn't never neither. In fact, I didn't never own one.

This is the best video of the bunch. "Outrage index" indeed. #notastepper

It's been like that for decades. My family were Chicago natives, and I grew up in the burbs...all have left. It's a beautiful city, but it's been ruined.

Yeah I don't hate Glocks by any means. Owned a Gen 2 G23 for a long time. It was a great pistol - reliable until and probably through Armageddon, easy breezy to shoot, great accuracy out to 25 yards from a 4 inch barrel. It just wasn't very EDC friendly and it was a .40, which was ok, but I...

Glock is being sued by the People's Democratic Republic of California, with likely copycat lawsuits to follow from New York, Illinois, and other states. Frankly, it's not their fault that "hackers" have figured out how to turn their semi-auto firearms into machine pistols with a 3D printer and...

I think I would prefer the comp to vent in a "V" rather than straight up through the sight line, especially if I need to use it in a low light situation. My non-compensated 10MM 1911 TRP Operator has quite the muzzle flash, but being annular it's more diffuse and thus maintaining target focus...

Air marshals use subsonic rounds that in the average case shouldn't fully penetrate the fuselage of an airliner at 30K+ feet, which could cause sudden decompression and would likely kill several passengers in the process. Not sure I would really want to have to remember to reload before the...

What's happening in that picture? Do you know for sure? Is the machete guy slowly backing away, or just standing still out of striking distance? Or is he advancing and issuing verbal threats? Only the last of these would constitute a situation in which the use of deadly force is reasonable and...

One would hope so. Governor Polis (2nd term, term-limited) has been unclear on whether he would sign or veto it. He has vetoed other gun bans in the recent past. He is a Democrat, but was a member of a conservative Libertarian caucus as a Dem before being elected. The vote in the Senate is...
