There is iron in your words of tumbler.9mm, 22, 380, 40, 45, all faster than calling 911. Saw this on a tumbler.
Even when I was police officer too many times we arrived at a crime scene after the fact. A bunch of bad things can happen in a very short period of time.There is iron in your words of tumbler.
Why, lord, WHY would you put a loaded magazine in a pistol you intended to dry fire?!?accidental discharge 1911. Ive had 2 accidental discharges in 55+ years. one involved holstering NEW .45 in the holster, yep you guessed it , learning to handle it and getting familar I loaded the mag, pushed it down tight in the leather holster . drew the pistol and did a dry fire. BANG . nice .45 hole in bed and wall. The tight leather holster pulled the slide back engaging a round, pulling it out, chambered the round.....I know none of you would ever do such a stupid thing ,but just saying, muzzle control all the time everytime is great insurance.
ask myself same question a couple times. muzzle control saved me.Why, lord, WHY would you put a loaded magazine in a pistol you intended to dry fire?!?

God knows Im not perfect. Making a mistake like I did could've ended horribly, someone being injured or killed. As I'.ve already said something like this will never happen again. I wouldn't be surprised if a member in this forum has had an accidental discharge, for obvious reasons won't admit it. If telling my story could help a shooter be more careful in their gun handling, that's a good thing.ask myself same question a couple times. muzzle control saved me.
6-9 intruders and one would be hard pressed to get more than 2-3 if they pressed the attack.
I would asses that when shot are fired by a homeowner in a home invasion that two things could happen:
- perps flee even if its 6-9 as they prob dont want to get shot
-perps shoot back, but still flee
When shots are fired , the gig is up, so intruders beat feet. No sense of a robbery now that the whole world knows the cops are coming.
A 10 round micro compact, 8 round .45 or 6 round revolver will all get the job done.
If I feel I need 30 rounds of anything, it would be an SBR, as my AR-15’s are unwieldy in cqb and I go for short
Which UCRs?UCRs depict majority of gunfights reported ar close up and personal and over in seconds
ok, do your research, 1911's are not limited to 7 or 8 rounds, and i would take a springfield XDM over a crap glock any day, i have a couple, .40 cal and 10mm. they shoot better than a glock hands down(my nephew has glocks, highly modified yet still dont shoot as good as the XDM's). what you see here are a couple items that are way better than a "G" series gun that both use 10 round mags. #1 is a springfield 1911 with a rare springfield 10 round mag. #2 is a para ordnance P-10 subcompact (smaller that a colt officer size) that holds 10+1. so why not carry a 1911 ? no reason not to. oh by the way, my pic is of 2 springfields, 1 is a fullsize 1911 double stack, 14+1 and an officer size 12+1, gotta love not having mag restrictions.here in my state, we have that insipid magazine ban of only 10 rounds.
i'd like at least that many. so i'd not use any of my 1911's, but rather i have a G-30, with 10+1.
as well as my G-17, and Hellcat.
i love all my 1911's, but not to carry, and not for home defense.
i have a few other 45's for that duty, if i wish to.
XDM .40 16+1 and an AR in 7.62x39 with 7.5" barrel and 30 round mag by my bed. and yes,i have a romanian AK and standard AR both in 7.62x39 also. none of that weak 5.56 crap for me.I keep my 15+1 P365 next to my pillow, plus an AK-47 (Zastava ZPAP M70 with a 30-round mag) at hand.
Love my 10mm 1911, but it just doesn't have the capacity for an assault I hear about with 6-9 mauraders on a home invasion.
The 16" barrel and short OAL of the AK vs. my AR seems better for my HD. JIMO.
i'm happy for you....you can carry a bazooka if you want to...ok, do your research, 1911's are not limited to 7 or 8 rounds, and i would take a springfield XDM over a crap glock any day, i have a couple, .40 cal and 10mm. they shoot better than a glock hands down(my nephew has glocks, highly modified yet still dont shoot as good as the XDM's). what you see here are a couple items that are way better than a "G" series gun that both use 10 round mags. #1 is a springfield 1911 with a rare springfield 10 round mag. #2 is a para ordnance P-10 subcompact (smaller that a colt officer size) that holds 10+1. so why not carry a 1911 ? no reason not to. oh by the way, my pic is of 2 springfields, 1 is a fullsize 1911 double stack, 14+1 and an officer size 12+1, gotta love not having mag restrictions.
Glocks aren't "crap". They are in use privately and by public agencies around the free world.

becuause they are cheap. Glock gives LEOs a great deal.Glocks aren't "crap". They are in use privately and by public agencies around the free world. For a reason.
i don't find a Glocks grip angle to be an issue.becuause they are cheap. Glock gives LEOs a great deal.
They aren't crap, but they ain't great either. Their soulless pieces of plastic with subpar triggers and a horrible grip angle.
The only thing good about Glocks is that they are reliable. Which is a great feature in a handgun. But there are plenty of other options on the market that are, too
