Weird. I'm sure you know the basic load is seven. You'd think they'd ship them with 7

Why five?

I've said this before, the older I get and the more time I spent carrying a gun because I had to, the less interest I had in guns. Basic training taught me what a pain in the booty an M16 was. Being in a unit that lost in M16 in the field in Germany really taught me what a Pain in the booty...

Good to know. John Corriea has studied tens of thousands of videos of Citizen involved self-defense shootings. I think he said the number was greater than 40,000. He also says that he is never ever ever seen a video that includes a citizen reload. I believe him and I believe Givens. I'm...

No you don't

I can only tell you what he said. You'd have to ask him what he meant by it. Not a response to the above quote. I've said this before I worked as a security guard for 15 years. For almost 7 years I worked on this site. For anybody that's familiar with Colorado Springs it's a propane storage...

I don't disagree with you. The thing is I already have the setup of the Glock 19 and the holster and the Dual magazine carrier and all of the above. Since I have all that stuff and I'm used to carrying it why not continue to carry it? If I had nothing and was starting over again from...

What are these "people" you speak of? Before I say this, I understand you should never aim for the lowest common denominator. I don't so much go out looking for people who are carrying guns but I do tend to notice it. And it's really not all that often that I see somebody carrying a gun...

I seem to remember my wife taking a 2 gallon ice cream tub full of brass to a scrap yard several years ago. I think she got 40 bucks for it. After time I seem to remember Blazer Brass selling for $11.95 a box. So she ended up getting three boxes of Blazer for 2 gallons of used brass. My...

That's news to me. I say this every time this topic comes up. I even use the same picture. Wrangler cargo pants and a camp shirt. In the winter I wear Wrangler cargo pants and a flannel shirt. You can throw a rock in Colorado Springs (even more so out here on the Eastern Plains) and you're...

Ummmm, no. If you're talking about the War of 1812 that ended in a stalemate at best and tripled America's national debt

I was lucky enough to have my church pay for professional training for the Security Team. I went to every single class they offered for several years. One of the things that they stressed over and over and over again was The Instant the shooting was over you reload. If you only fired one shot...

Here is a very good article that addresses this issue http://www.03designgroup.com/technotes/why-glock-why-9mm QUOTE from the article I thought back to the effects different pistol rounds having on animals, victim's of shootings, and Officer involved shootings that I had seen personally and...

I don't know that I put a whole lot of thought into how much ammunition to carry. There's a quote from Masaad Ayoob in which he essentially says If the cops carry two reloads you should too. This is the quote Two complete reloads was standard equipment for most police officers before any of us...

I read there was one other student of Tom Givens who was also robbed. According to what I read the robber got the drop on him and he didn't have time to draw his gun. So he handed over his wallet and the robber left.

It's gonna be a no from me Dawg

This discussion has been all over the Internet for years. One of the times that it came up I don't remember if somebody else referenced this physics forum or I found it myself. But I went to it and they had article after article after article about spring set and over compression and scragging (...

What ignorance? They're gun laws seem to do exactly what they're intended to do, disarm they law abiding citizens

According to Cooper orange is a specific threat. As in, I may have to defend myself against that specific person today. If I was getting ready to leave the house and there was a specific threat (besides my Turkey) I wouldn't leave home.

I think a lot of people overthink Cooper's color code. As I watch the video that I posted above it seems to me he's using it more as a descriptive training aid. People in condition White are essentially clueless. They're the people that leave their house unlocked or leave their car unlocked...
