Both the 40 and the 45 entry points are 40% larger, and that is due to a lot more energy being transferred. You can't think of those wound channels in two-dimensions. They are three-dimensional. They don't look al that significantly larger in 2-D, but rotate those channels 180' around the center...

That is true... the majority won't. But that brings up my point, expecting a civilian to "deliver multiple rounds quickly into vital areas" is high expectation for someone who hits the range once a year... or less. Still, very rare for a civilian shooting to use more than a couple of rounds. In...

I have to take exception to some of this. "the majority of research supports the idea that the most effective way to stop an attacker with a handgun is to deliver multiple rounds quickly into vital areas."... Multiple rounds? Guess we all need to be experts with the "double tape". Given the...

I just spent all my money on a TRP "carry". I am very happy with it. An excellent shooter. I will have to save my pennies for a while to even start contemplating anything like this custom garrison. Then there is my wife... who sees a safe full of toys and she can't quite come to terms with "just...

I actually handled a Prodigy today. Was hopping that grip was going to be narrow enough to allow my little grip radius to get around it in some margin to make it viable shooter for me... but, not to be. If the Prodigy shoots anything like the TRP then it would have been high on my "got-ta-have"...

My uncle carried a BAR in WWII. He had some incredible stories to tell. He was in the motor pool because of his age (32) and the rest in his outfit called him pops. None of them were ever suppose to be in direct combat, but the battle of the bulge changed all that. He was sent to the front and...

I totally get that. I saved my pennies for 8 month to get the TRP, and I still had to trade in a Ruger SR1911 in the deal. They don't give you much on trade in's and if the TRP hadn't turned out as good as it did I may have regretted the whole thing. But the TRP fits me like a glove and runs...

I have small stubby fingers (they call me "thumbs"... I have 10 of them). Double stack autos don't line up well when I grip them because I have to offset the firearm about 3-5 degrees to reach the trigger. Single stacks fit my hands much better, as the thinner profile does not take up as much...

I had a friend who went hunting wild bore with his .357mag. He did this once... as the bullet didn't penetrate the skull of a charging pig. He just made it up the tree next too him. After that, he used .44mag. Hitting a charging animal head on is tricky and as has as much to do with luck as it...

I always learn something from these historic write ups. This one was full of really interest facts. Thanks!!! Keep them coming... (y)

Lots of opinions here... so I will add mine. 😁 Here in Idaho, people run into bear all the time. There are, in these woods, some big big bears that can weigh up to 600lb.. In most encounters the bear continues on its way with no ado. However, every year there are several encounters that end in...

Great article. Thanks for the history lessons. I have owned two M1As. I find the AR platform a significant improvement over the M14s for several reasons. It's light, minimizes recoil, and quick to handle. In contrast, the M14 was heavy, had significant recoil, and was nearly impossible to use on...

I just bought a TRP carry. Shot it for the first time earlier this week. Ate up 70 rounds of both HP and Ball ammo without a single complaint. I thought the aggressive grip design would bother me, but as it turns out, offered more control of the lighter alloy framed 1911. So I'm happy... then...

I have owned two M1As National Match and an Armalite AR-10T (target). I have to say, the discipline for shooting autos vs bolt is very different. That being said, I could never get either one to group to my expectations... about (4in groups). I would hard pressed to pick one above the other. The...

wow, nice looking helo. looks like it should be fast. Strictly a gunship... not much room for passengers or a lot of equipment. sad story on its cancellation. "purchase price of $500,000 each in 1965 to over three million dollars each by 1972..." "When the program was cancelled in 1972...

Again, it makes me want to go out and buy another 1911... or two. If I could just get my wife to agree to this... :)

"so... what?", well, it seemed that you were telling us that the more one expresses an opinion, the less relevant it becomes somehow.

And so?

There is wisdom in the words of the experienced. Only a fool would discard them out of hand.

Haha... that is funny. :ROFLMAO:
