I’m just not really into non-tacticals. I’ll buy a Kimber when I get into a froggy mood though. My neighbor across the street is into kimbers. Both he and his wife. Fucking Kimber fanatics. They are nices pieces. I really enjoy my P320. It’s the pistol of choice right now. Spend a day with one and you’ll know why the army picked it.

But it’s a nostalgic weapon now. Something kept in a nice case. It is zero comparison to a modern tactical. Especially a Sig or HK. Agreed but they really are piece of history. I've always wanted a Ruger No. 1 Rifle...I realize it's just a single shot but damn they are beautiful.

A 1911 or shotgun are the two best home defense pieces. The optics of killing somebody with any tactical piece is tougher to overcome in court.

The principal was the same as a 5.56 with it inflicting bleed out wounds but, at close range in a home defense situation, that’s a dangerous and silly play.

Some of the new +P or +P+ 9mm rounds are pretty stout. Underwood Ammo is making some wicked ass shit. 1450fps and close to 500 ftpds at the muzzle. That’s pretty good for the Luger round. Not all guns can stand up the barrel pressures though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what you are using it for but, that is too fast for a CCB weapon. You don’t want it to move through the body (assailant armor depending). And if you have a specialty round, again, depends on what you are using it for but it better not be a home invasion scenario. A slow moving, large caliber ball, is the best bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoughnut Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 How about a S&W 500, I had a customer about 15 years back who showed me his, he also had a Federal Firearm License. It's an impressive piece, he showed me a box of 12 rounds, at that time the price tag on the box read $48. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
