I wouldnt call myself an expert but I would not recommend this guys choice of firearms by anymeans. There are a few things to consider when choosing a firearm for personal defense. 1. Reliability-meaning will it fire 99.8% of the time 2. Ammo capacity 3. Ammo selection- meaning calibre and ammo type. 4. Ease of use under stress. 5. Availibilty of aftermarket parts. And the most important thing to remember is that great guns and gear does not substitute for a lack of training
Listening to police officers like this makes me gain confidence against this globalist takeover of the US. Thanks for doing this interview SGT! God bless police officers and military personnel that uphold the constitution and actually serve the people.
Racking a shotgun to alert an intruder to your presence is a bad idea. Why give away your position? I keep mine cocked and ready at all times. If someone breaks into my home they ain't gonna hear a thing...
@charlesfuchs Glocks are made of polymer, not plastic. Second I've never seen a glock jam or fail to fire, learn a thing or 2 before you go around posting comments about firearms.
@IndependentForPres Learn to understand sarcasm before you sit here and troll LOL.... we call glocks plastic guns because they are trashy cheap guns compared to others brooooo
If we hit rock bottom, at that time you may be faced with gangs. As they will be prepared and aware that you're prepared as a person. Eliminating a gang member will start a war against you. Grandpa feels tough because he has that gun, but I could think of many scenarios where it wouldn't matter what you have. It's not like the movies where you have a guy coming though the window. People have alarms and windows that will not open. Figure out your defense agains Gangs. Just wanted to be realistic.
@SunsetRC I agree. Reminds me of a guy I knew in NYC - he tried a B&E thru a window, an 80 y.o. man had a .38 special and blew him away - 5 shots in the chest. WROL will result in gangs and roving packs of looters. You are correct to develop contingencies for engaging them and destroying as many as possible at once. Fougasse is a favorite of mine...lol. And no quarter. None. Kill em all and everyone that looks like them. Or they will be back. Once again, this is WROL I'm talkin'. Not daily life.
so if you shoot a gang member because you have to & you don't want them to come after you, what would you recommend? Hiding the body? Getting rid of it some way? How would you do that? Any ideas?
@dishesdealer417 I don't understand your question with answers. You may have an option to shoot a gang member when the gang is THERE at the same time. Then what. As for the dead body, who knows. I'm buying a back hoe.
My husband's Tauras Judge is sitting right her next to me. I live in the country, and when I step out at night alone, it is one me (over chest holster). I live on a busy Highway. I have had a handful of people troubles, and several very scary wild animal encounters over the years. - Our Judge is loaded with bird shot since my main concern has been animal issues.
Full metal jacket are for shooting body armored cops and swat teams that want to take you to a FEMA camp. Hallow points are for unarmored looters. I think its better to just get out of the cities, and out of America if possible, though the whole world is going to crash. And most important, accept Jesus as your personal lord and savior - you must be born again!
You actually did give them up? Nobody hid any out? There are sooo many guns in america that were passed down in families etc. that there is no way they could find them all. Buy one on the underground free (black) marekt for cash and keep your mouth shut. Would you rather be dead or break a little law?
@dishesdealer417 ,thanks mate, but I wasnt here in australia when it all went down. I still cant believe that the weak bastards handed them in!!!. I may have to try building my own. Anyone got a lathe? lol
"SELF DEFENSE, THE SECOND AMENDMENT & PERSONAL LIBERTY"
And if you live in NYC, your F%$KED, good luck. I'm sure glad all those guns are "off the streets", and in the hands of criminals. Besides, we law abiding citizens don't need guns. We have the honorable nypd beating protesters for the traitor criminal bankers. All is well ;)
i have to disagree about the accuracy when faced with a life or death situation. though many people may just be in sheer panic and miss, i think on the other side, there will also be many whose survival instincts kick in, and have a heightened level of concentration
The behavior of law enforcement and military will be a BIG deciding factor in which direction this country goes.
Always stick with Smith & Wesson, as far as revolvers go. Glock 9mm is really the 'everyman/woman' gun, a good overall choice. Rifles and shotguns indoors are kind of cumbersome, imo.
Never pull it out unless you're willing to use it and using it means dropping someone in the dirt.
Anyody had any trouble getting 16 guage shogun shells recently? They didn't have any at wal-mart. I asked this youngish looking guy why there were no 16s and he said there was no such thing (he didn't work there) he said there are only 10s, 12s, & 20s. I assume by 10 he meant a 410. I didn't bother to correct him. The local gun shop said they are getting harder to find. Just because someone is a guy doesn't mean they know crap about guns. They pretend they do, but they don't always.
While I have had semi-autos jam on me, you can get a bad cartridge with a revolver too. I personally do not have a semi-auto, I do rely on the double action of my revolvers. Also I amost marked this one as a "dislike" because I get sooooo tired of people assuming only males will watch this, or we females are all gun retarded & don't know anything about them or how to shoot. I''ve been shooting since I was 10, My MOTHER taught me. she was shooting crows off the back of a tractor at 8.
I forgot to say great interview btw. Your listeners should know, that guns are actually a great investment. So while silver is on sale. And everyone is wetting themselves over it. Let me tell you. I have owned guns for a very long time. And of all the ones I traded and sold. They are never worth zero.
1911's are my top choice. My newest is a Springfield A1. And its great. I actually expected it to be ok for the price. But it absolutely rocks. It's tight. It never jams. And I have put all sorts of rounds threw it. I do agree though, for the gun ignorant buyer. Who wants one in the house. But doesn't plan to take it out much. A revolver is a great buy. As us the Mossburg. That Florida guard said it right on.
Many thanks to Officer Joe for his desire to protect the rights of the people. I have a question about self defense:
What are the 3 most common crimes that we should expect to be confronted with? Rape, murder, robbery (on the street), car jacking, home break in (while we're at home).... you get the idea.
nothing i have ever shot had a chance to shoot me first. i am sure that covering a human's head with the barrel will be much tougher than shooting at critters.
that first time!... after that it will be much easier.
semi-auto anything is great! but they DO jam. and they do leave empty shells on the ground. in the woods, you got plenty of time to police your area for spent shells. in real life, not so much.
the pistols on my hips help balance the SKS im holding
imho in the home pdx-1 in a 12 ga or .410 in the s&w gov (which is a great lil roscoe) with birdshot will not blow a hole in the drywall (depending how far away) if you miss (hypothetically)
good interview SGT, he was right, for most part, it WAS a generalization. My sister bought a revolver (ruger LCR) on my suggestion. I only own pistols myself, personal preferance. AR horrible home defense weapon. unless an sbr or 10" barrell and you know whats on other side of wall for 1-3,000feet. Nice change in pace as silver makes a low print of $26.08.....
The constitution wasn't written for everyone in America. It was drafted and signed by Masons as a Right To Self Determination to create a nation. They created a nation and we're charged as tenants without rights to absolute ownership of property. For example you don't own your house even if the mortgage has been paid in full. Try not paying property taxes and you'll find out who owns your house. Check out Right To Self Determination on youtube.
Ellorybockting, you couldn't be more wrong regarding revolvers being unreliable. Ever have a revolver jam? or a recoil spring break? NO. Revolvers couldn't be any simpler and easier to train someone on.
This conversation made me feel quite nauseous. It's really sad that American society has 'evolved' in this way. Everybody has to be armed, because everybody else is? Man, that's sad. Here in Europe we don't routinely have firearms in our homes. We don't need them.
Europe has so much knife violence that they have routine round ups of knives. Just because you dont have guns, you have massive beatings & knifings. Crime wentdown when my state made it legal to carry concealed in your car. Who is going to jack a car when you might get shot & the law says it is legal to do so? A local girl's car was forced off the road, raped & murdered by a guy who just got out of prison, women here started carrying in droves. Phone didn't help, a gun would.
whatever gun you chose, you better be able to trust it and be 1000% comfortable with it. That means hours of dry fire practice, drawing from your method of carry, practice drawing while actually laying down in bed, sitting in a car, etc. There are laser shot training devices that fit your gun to help training. If you pack like I do, then regular practice, both dry and live fire, is mandatory. "dont leave home without it". It's LIFE INSURANCE !!
Thanks SGT. I agree that revolvers can be more mechanically reliable. They can also be much easier to operate for smaller weaker women and children who cannot easily operate a semiauto slide. In an emergecy they need to be able to operate it as easily as possible. He did not mention the calibers for revolvers. I recommend the 38 which is similar to the 9mm. 357 magnum is a hard shooting round and I don't use it myself so women and children probably will not like it either. Thanks again!
You're not going to find "deep thinkers among the Police: the average I.Q. for a cop in the U.S. is 104 which means that MANY Police officers are on the left side of the distribution curve down to 75-80. The Nat'l avg. is 98.
I passed my MENSA exam in 1981. It requires an IQ of >140. That's why I can't understand how Police think...many of them are clinically "borderline deficient" in intelligence.
@grizzzlyjoe new cops only make what, 35k a year base pay? You're right. Most cops dont even thoroughly understand the laws which they are enforcing. They just enforce, period. The ones that can think wisely left a long time ago.
That is not all true info. First of all, my I.Q. is above 140 and frankly WE don't think like regular people. I think cops need to have intelligence above, but not too far above the average criminal so they can understand how they think. If you really have an IQ above 140 then you would know that eggheads like us are strange & ioften only understand other's behavior in a detached & mostlyintellectual manner than doesn't always fit the needs of dealing with human situations.
@dishesdealer417 I just re-read my comment for accuracy. The Nat'l Average IQ is 98.
The average IQ of Police Officers in the U.S. IS 104. They generally range from approx. 75 - 125.
If you INCLUDE the +/- 3 Standard Deviations in the Gaussian Distribution, you'll get some above genius level at 140 and some BELOW the clinically established level for borderline deficient; the correct nomenclature for which is "MORON" at IQs of 50-70
Nobodyuses the word moron anymore. Developmentally disabled is the term used. Also profoundly dev. disabled is below 50. My I.Q. is 143 and I'm not a genius. You don't even get to be considered profoundly gifted until your IQ is 150. I'm licensed as a special ed. teacher so I probably know a whole lot more about what people are capable of at different i.q. levels & a lot of it has to do with how much they have been worked with & their motivation. 140s iQ is NOT GENIUS.
@dishesdealer417 I was wondering about the MENSA comment above. I was taught genius level was 160 and above. I was tested at age 19 and got a 180.... hard to believe - trust me! I'll agree with your last remark - I'm a retired LCSW MH therapist, with a forensic background (NGRI, DD issues affecting trial and mitigation of sentencing).
Most people now agree that there are many kinds of intelligence. Nobody would argue that althletes have high physical intelligence & often cops do too. Being a cop is a very physical job & I would rather have a cop with an i.q. of 100 & high physical intelligence with good morals than not. We all know the 180 iq. genius who is such a social idiot he can't carrry on a conversation. Social, political, physical, etc intelligences are now recognized as being important.
I find most people to be illogical and annoying. They have messy emotional needs that they try to smear on other people who probably don't want them. I have watched some of those 'real cop" or prison shows & I have to say I could never be a cop or prison guard. I don't have the patience or compassion to deal with grown adults who behave like 5 year olds having a tantrum. Seriously. I don't know why they don't get taken out back & shot. I couldn't deal with those people.
Like the Vegas Jail show. What the freak? That is the biggest collection of losers ever. I don't know how the cops deal with them. The hookers are professional & just want to get back out & back to work. WROL there are going to be a lot of assholes get shot right away. None of this, you have to protect my right to be a dick stuff. They are just going to get shot. Seriously, people are going to be a lot more polite or get dead. A lot of predators will die. Rape = death.
i think that ppl need to get away from the "you only can protect your property, life, liberty, family, ect." only in your home has some weight to it. But as a "free" ppl we should be able to carry firearms where ever WE are and protect as WE see fit, I bet that if society was like that, true to the law of the land, then we would not have near the problems that we have today. either way love the show keep up the good work, theres always something to learn fo-sho....peace
SGT, you are talking to a lawman. Thats fine, but when SHTF, you dont need a lawman, because nobody will be obeying the law. You need to talk to a seasoned marine (me !) that can use combat tactics to keep the vicious murderous gangs at bay. This officer's advice is marginal for normal times, but when we are in SHTF, you need MORE.
If you think it's a fair fight, then obviously you dont know how to fight !!
I completely disagree with this cops statements that a revolver will not fail. As someone with a lot of experience with firearms and especially in teaching people how to shoot a revolver is a TERRIBLE choice for defense. It's not as reliable as semi autos. They're also not as accurate. Then this man goes on with buying the most common caliber mentioning semi auto rounds?? SGT, please look into finding someone else for videos on this subject.
@ellorybockting In context, the revolver has a extremely low rate of fail. It outperforms the failure rate of a semi auto. The bullets might not fire but you would continue to pull the trigger. In high stress situations, you just want to pull the trigger. If a semi auto fails to fire, some people in high stress situations will not know what to do. Tap rack. With a revolver, you just keep squeezing the trigger. Most gun battles will happen in close quarters.
@bladeproject1 I have seen the latest stress tests for the last few years, and have seen them at the range constantly. And your statement that they perform more reliably is simply not true. Also, the mind sent that they are more reliable in a stressful situation does not square with experience. The trigger draw on a revolver creates such an awkward pull from the target. Plus in a stressful situation you need rounds and a way easier way to reload.
@ellorybockting There are reasons why for decades most police officers carry revolvers as a backup weapon. And im sure we would both agree its not because they are pretty.
@bladeproject1 Once again, I disagree. Most police officers do not carry them as back up weapons. I have many family members that have been in the police force, and several friends who still are. The favored backup weapon is another semi. I'm sure that there are plenty of them who do, and from my experience they are the old timers. And yes, some of them are very attractive.
@ellorybockting I must disagree. As a 23 year veteran officer, i have only known one officer who carries a semi automatic. When it comes down to your primary weapon malfunctioning and you want to go home at end of watch, the smart officer will always choose a revolver. I wouldnt expect someone who has never been "in service" to understand. And yes they are ugly.
So get some speedloaders. Fast way to reload a revolver. I think my brother is getting me some for xmas. He just got some nice ones for his .357 magnum. Nice gun. Easy trigger pull too. Bit of a kick, but a lot easier to pull the trigger than I thought it would be.
@ellorybockting I've owned 3 revolvers and 5 semi-autos over the years, plus years of military experience teaching, training, and running firearms ranges. I have NEVER had a malfunction with a revolver. I cannot say that for semis. I have found revolvers to be MORE accurate, especially my 6" S&W 686 .357 Magnum. Semis are prone to differences in ammo and spring tension in their magazines. A revolver makes a good first gun - simple, low maintenance. But I love my Glocks, and that's what I carry.
@combatjm89 I'm glad those revolvers are working out for you. Our experiences are completely different. We have roughly the same kinds of exposures to these weapons and their usage as well. I would like to ask you, after how many rounds did those semi's fail? Semi are pushing an incredible amount compared to a revolver. Would your revolver handle dirt and grime better than a semi? Lastly, any firearmTRAINED on with love and devotion will work better for you.
@ellorybockting This doc was aimed at the beginner who may not understand that semis are more picky about ammo than a revolver. A revolver doesn't depend on chamber pressure to cycle. A semi does. And some don't like steel cases. And a newbie may not rotate their mags properly and load them to the brim. Due diligence is required. Pros know that. Beginners may not. I fire Glocks more as I carry CCW. So I stake my life on them. And a .44 mag wheel gun pushes more than a 9mm semi, unless maybe 9++
@combatjm89 I under that there are pros to carrying a revolver. That does not negate the fact that a revolver does not hold a candle to the tactical edge that a semi gives over a revolver. Revolver fans like to speak on the lack of training needed to operate one, but to be honest, if you pit a revolver against a semi, the revolver owner must be VERY well trained to out shoot the semi owner. Both in volume of rounds (critical in a firefight) and especially in reload. I wish more thugs carried'em.
@ellorybockting I don't believe in volume of rounds as a solution. Skill is more important. I have 17 round capacity in my Glock 19 carry pistol, and never load more than 15, and I have Wilson +10 springs. If I have to pull a gun, I had better do the job with 2 rounds per threat. Damn hard, but that's the standard. 2 shots, 2" group, 2 seconds. Still can't get there...lol. But I keep tryin'. Not trying to have a firefight in a non-combat scene. Never shot at anyone with a pistol, just a rifle.
@combatjm89 Trust me, at close quarters volume is the equalizer. Usual standard training (if you're not some sort of navy seal) is rapid fire at close ranges while backing up or moving at a backward angle. That said, suppose you were that accurate under stress. And you have three thugs coming after you. Two of them armed with 9mm high caps. A revolver would not be so slick a choice. Most times, when you're in trouble, they baddies like to travel in packs.
@ellorybockting Can't we just agree to our own opinions? I think a revolver is a good first gun choice, that's all I've been saying. Simple. Reliable. No safeties, chambering, etc. Pull trigger - gun go boom.I CARRY A GLOCK 19 WITH 2 MAGS WITH 12 HORNADY TAP CQ 124gr JHP IN EACH. And I was given that 2/2/2 standard years ago by a friend who was a Delta operator, and I've always trained to try and meet it. Still trying. If it works for them, it'll work for me (someday... ;-)).
@combatjm89 Sure, we can agree to disagree. Passion and experience can create some great debates. I'm glad to hear you're still cranking down on the training. I train people for free all the time. I consider it American heritage to have that. Proud gun owner.
@combatjm89 I bet you've seen guys at the range buy reloads from the range to fire with their semis! many semis seem to have their own personality, but I personally have had problems with reloads in my semis. I have a model 1917 colt 45 for the house and 2 1911's. one of the 1911's does pretty well with reloads, the other jams a good bit. when I run good quality new ammo, they are both pretty good, but I prefer the 1917 for the house.
@bastardchildofmary Actually, no. My range doesn't sell ammo - it's BYOB...lol. I think it all boils down to chamber pressure and powder type - will there be enough pressure to cycle the slide, and is the powder burning at the proper rate to aid in cycling (not too fast or slow). I have seen various factory ammo misbehave in semis - that's why it's so important for newbees to shoot and learn their gun. Not only for accuracy, but to figure out what ammo it likes (not calling a a newbee...).
@ellorybockting Seriously, you're trying to say that Semi's are more accurate and reliable than revolvers? You're full of it, the sight on a semi moves in relationship to the barrel with every shot so the accuracy is affected with every shot. Not so on a revolver as the sight is hard mounted on the barrel, this officer is absolutely correct on his assesment of the revolver. The semi has so many things that can go wrong, weak springs after being loaded over long periods etc...
@ellorybockting I disagree with that. I have fired guns since I was 6. I have a colt da model 1917. I can fire reloads or any other cheap crap at the range and if it misfires,i just pull the trigger again. if someone is in your house and rushes you, it misfires, you pull again. Automatic? you gotta pull the slide again, if you have time.Only thing about revolvers though, I'd recommend you buy the best you can.[colt,s&w, ruger is ok too.there are others, but i don't know a lot about newer guns.
A revolver IS more failsafe. It won't stovepipe if you shoot it limp-wristed. There is no magazine or slide to deal with, and I'm not sure where you get your information that auto's are more accurate??? A revolver makes more sense for a newbie, all they need to do is point and squeeze.
Personally I love autos. Glock is a good economical option. Springfield's new XDm is also a great choice. If you want more top of the line I would go with a Sig Sauer.
After purchasing a firearm, practice with it! Go to the range. Watch Rob Pincus "combat focus shooting" dvd's. He goes into great detail about combat accuracy, lateral movement, cover vs concealment, etc.
For a handgun I would recommend .45 ACP for stopping power. You can get a springfield XDM 45 that holds 13rds in the mag, comes with factory nite sites, pelican case and other goodies for $700.
I tried to make these very same points on a DEMCAD video about new gun owners taking a basic gun safety class & other basic gun safety topics and I was slammed big time by most of the people posting comments.
So can some of us girls. Well, I'll take a shotgun personally for many situations. I've shot a lot of skeet & I can't really miss with a shotgun. I think if the SHTS then I might saw off some of my barrel. I know that is not currently lega, but if there is no law to speak of, who cares? I'm sawing.
@Itsjames1 why? im sitting on 500 oz of silver atm, and couldn't be happier, i hope it goes down to like 10 - 15$ , the problems we have in the economy are only getting worst... temporary spikes in the dollars buying power as other world currencies collapse is to be expected... don't be afraid, keep your silver under the mattress , you will have your day.
@NYzwolf Yeah Im sitting on 500 too. I know the fundamentals. Its just a violent move Im feeling like a sucker who bought into a bubble at the moment. Ive been buying since it was 11 dollars an oz. So either way im still coming out ahead.
for some reason the posting was wonky ....should be ....my grandpa taught me how to handle firearms and respect them. This I learned at age 6 and my mom loved to shoot as she would take me and my brothers to the rifle range.The only evil about owning guns is the demonizing by most of the establishment who want to have control over us .Long live the second amendment !
Bought 12 silver halves (4.34oz) in the past week (I'm 17, only can do so much with not having a job). Going to buy at least 1 more ounce if not 2 or more. I got to stack up as much as possible before utter economic collapse.
thanks Sean.....great to be prepared for worst case scenarios and fun to periodically go to the range for target phandle and respect the firearms and my mom used to take me and my brothers to the rifle range for target practice
@gasdorf I see that too. They don't want to give it away!

@bezant1971 Don't shit your pants.. Position limits are coming. JPM and the rest of their ilk are trying to get out from under their short position. Once they cover as much as possible they will go long. We will see 10.00 and 20.00 up days soon. Once those crooks go long watch out.
You always put these out JUST when I'm about to go to bed. Then I have to watch them and I get led in many other directions around the web and my bedtime is put off another hour or two...
Much appreciated though. There are a few youtubers that I'll always stay awake for (you and James Corbett top the list!)
I've purchased from quite a few online dealers. Provident Metals, Apmex, and Gainesville Coins are all places I've bought from since April. They're low on quite a few items, but they do have things you can buy, and if you're desperate there is always ebay if you can't find it from anywhere else. I've got Apmex brand silver, silver eagles, silvertowne bars, and sunshine mint bars. I always go with namebrand stuff, or at least I have to this point.
@ChiefAce77 don't worry man, this is just a temporary dip, the dollar is gaining strength this month, the Fed hates deflation, they will correct the deflation and over-inflate and your silver will be back up to 40 - 50$ in no time.... this is just them trying to scare you out of your investment.
They will not let the dollar gain strength for long.... they are just trying to get people to save dollars, so that they can skin them alive later.
Yeah, I bought another 20 ounces of physical at $40 last week the day before the Fed announcement, and I'm killing myself for it now that we're at $28 an ounce! A $12 drop in less than a week is insane! I'm thinking about buying another 20 ounces tonight though if it hits $27 an ounce, just seems like a steal at this point, but I guess we'll see. I have a feeling the market is going to tank hard tomorrow.
@ChiefAce77 Just keep buying more, you'll bring down you average buying price. 20OZ at 40$ is really not that bad. Trust me, you'll be glad you even bought some at 40$ soon enough.
That's what I'm hoping for, I'll have accumulated 140 ounces since April, and at inflated prices I feel like I did as much as I could. My next purchase is a gun and ammo.
If people
Can have automatic weapons, then I want a tank to defend myself from them, if they can have tanks, then I want nukes.

@SunsetRC I agree. Reminds me of a guy I knew in NYC - he tried a B&E thru a window, an 80 y.o. man had a .38 special and blew him away - 5 shots in the chest. WROL will result in gangs and roving packs of looters. You are correct to develop contingencies for engaging them and destroying as many as possible at once. Fougasse is a favorite of mine...lol.

The behavior of law enforcement and military will be a BIG deciding factor in which direction this country goes.
Always stick with Smith & Wesson, as far as revolvers go. Glock 9mm is really the 'everyman/woman' gun, a good overall choice. Rifles and shotguns indoors are kind of cumbersome, imo.
Never pull it out unless you're willing to use it and using it means dropping someone in the dirt.
Pick up some other stuff than guns as back up.
Good topic to cover. Thanks.

Anyody had any trouble getting 16 guage shogun shells recently? They didn't have any at wal-mart. I asked this youngish looking guy why there were no 16s and he said there was no such thing (he didn't work there) he said there are only 10s, 12s, & 20s. I assume by 10 he meant a 410. I didn't bother to correct him. The local gun shop said they are getting harder to find. Just because someone is a guy doesn't mean they know crap about guns. They pretend they do, but they don't always.

While I have had semi-autos jam on me, you can get a bad cartridge with a revolver too. I personally do not have a semi-auto, I do rely on the double action of my revolvers. Also I amost marked this one as a "dislike" because I get sooooo tired of people assuming only males will watch this, or we females are all gun retarded & don't know anything about them or how to shoot.

Thanks SGT. I agree that revolvers can be more mechanically reliable. They can also be much easier to operate for smaller weaker women and children who cannot easily operate a semiauto slide. In an emergecy they need to be able to operate it as easily as possible. He did not mention the calibers for revolvers. I recommend the 38 which is similar to the 9mm. 357 magnum is a hard shooting round and I don't use it myself so women and children probably will not like it either. Thanks again!

You're not going to find "deep thinkers among the Police: the average I.Q. for a cop in the U.S. is 104 which means that MANY Police officers are on the left side of the distribution curve down to 75-80. The Nat'l avg. is 98.

The average IQ of Police Officers in the U.S. IS 104. They generally range from approx. 75 - 125.
If you INCLUDE the +/- 3 Standard Deviations in the Gaussian Distribution, you'll get some above genius level at 140 and some BELOW the clinically established level for borderline deficient; the correct nomenclature for which is "MORON" at IQs of 50-70

I completely disagree with this cops statements that a revolver will not fail. As someone with a lot of experience with firearms and especially in teaching people how to shoot a revolver is a TERRIBLE choice for defense. It's not as reliable as semi autos. They're also not as accurate. Then this man goes on with buying the most common caliber mentioning semi auto rounds?? SGT, please look into finding someone else for videos on this subject.
ellorybockting 5 months ago
@ellorybockting In context, the revolver has a extremely low rate of fail. It outperforms the failure rate of a semi auto. The bullets might not fire but you would continue to pull the trigger. In high stress situations, you just want to pull the trigger. If a semi auto fails to fire, some people in high stress situations will not know what to do. Tap rack. With a revolver, you just keep squeezing the trigger. Most gun battles will happen in close quarters.
bladeproject1 5 months ago
@bladeproject1 I have seen the latest stress tests for the last few years, and have seen them at the range constantly. And your statement that they perform more reliably is simply not true. Also, the mind sent that they are more reliable in a stressful situation does not square with experience. The trigger draw on a revolver creates such an awkward pull from the target. Plus in a stressful situation you need rounds and a way easier way to reload.
Close quarters is what the semi auto was for.
ellorybockting 5 months ago
@ellorybockting There are reasons why for decades most police officers carry revolvers as a backup weapon. And im sure we would both agree its not because they are pretty.
bladeproject1 5 months ago
@bladeproject1 Once again, I disagree. Most police officers do not carry them as back up weapons. I have many family members that have been in the police force, and several friends who still are. The favored backup weapon is another semi. I'm sure that there are plenty of them who do, and from my experience they are the old timers. And yes, some of them are very attractive.
ellorybockting 5 months ago
@ellorybockting I must disagree. As a 23 year veteran officer, i have only known one officer who carries a semi automatic. When it comes down to your primary weapon malfunctioning and you want to go home at end of watch, the smart officer will always choose a revolver. I wouldnt expect someone who has never been "in service" to understand. And yes they are ugly.

@ellorybockting
So get some speedloaders. Fast way to reload a revolver. I think my brother is getting me some for xmas. He just got some nice ones for his .357 magnum. Nice gun. Easy trigger pull too. Bit of a kick, but a lot easier to pull the trigger than I thought it would be.
dishesdealer417 4 months ago
@ellorybockting I've owned 3 revolvers and 5 semi-autos over the years, plus years of military experience teaching, training, and running firearms ranges. I have NEVER had a malfunction with a revolver. I cannot say that for semis. I have found revolvers to be MORE accurate, especially my 6" S&W 686 .357 Magnum. Semis are prone to differences in ammo and spring tension in their magazines. A revolver makes a good first gun - simple, low maintenance. But I love my Glocks, and that's what I carry.
combatjm89 5 months ago
@combatjm89 I'm glad those revolvers are working out for you. Our experiences are completely different. We have roughly the same kinds of exposures to these weapons and their usage as well. I would like to ask you, after how many rounds did those semi's fail? Semi are pushing an incredible amount compared to a revolver. Would your revolver handle dirt and grime better than a semi? Lastly, any firearmTRAINED on with love and devotion will work better for you.
ellorybockting 5 months ago
@ellorybockting This doc was aimed at the beginner who may not understand that semis are more picky about ammo than a revolver. A revolver doesn't depend on chamber pressure to cycle. A semi does. And some don't like steel cases. And a newbie may not rotate their mags properly and load them to the brim. Due diligence is required. Pros know that. Beginners may not. I fire Glocks more as I carry CCW. So I stake my life on them. And a .44 mag wheel gun pushes more than a 9mm semi, unless maybe 9++
combatjm89 5 months ago
@combatjm89 I under that there are pros to carrying a revolver. That does not negate the fact that a revolver does not hold a candle to the tactical edge that a semi gives over a revolver. Revolver fans like to speak on the lack of training needed to operate one, but to be honest, if you pit a revolver against a semi, the revolver owner must be VERY well trained to out shoot the semi owner. Both in volume of rounds (critical in a firefight) and especially in reload. I wish more thugs carried'em.
ellorybockting 5 months ago
@ellorybockting I don't believe in volume of rounds as a solution. Skill is more important. I have 17 round capacity in my Glock 19 carry pistol, and never load more than 15, and I have Wilson +10 springs. If I have to pull a gun, I had better do the job with 2 rounds per threat. Damn hard, but that's the standard. 2 shots, 2" group, 2 seconds. Still can't get there...lol. But I keep tryin'. Not trying to have a firefight in a non-combat scene. Never shot at anyone with a pistol, just a rifle.
combatjm89 4 months ago
@combatjm89 Trust me, at close quarters volume is the equalizer. Usual standard training (if you're not some sort of navy seal) is rapid fire at close ranges while backing up or moving at a backward angle. That said, suppose you were that accurate under stress. And you have three thugs coming after you. Two of them armed with 9mm high caps. A revolver would not be so slick a choice. Most times, when you're in trouble, they baddies like to travel in packs.
ellorybockting 4 months ago
@ellorybockting Can't we just agree to our own opinions? I think a revolver is a good first gun choice, that's all I've been saying. Simple. Reliable.

@combatjm89 I bet you've seen guys at the range buy reloads from the range to fire with their semis! many semis seem to have their own personality, but I personally have had problems with reloads in my semis. I have a model 1917 colt 45 for the house and 2 1911's. one of the 1911's does pretty well with reloads, the other jams a good bit. when I run good quality new ammo, they are both pretty good, but I prefer the 1917 for the house.
bastardchildofmary 5 months ago
@bastardchildofmary Actually, no. My range doesn't sell ammo - it's BYOB...lol. I think it all boils down to chamber pressure and powder type - will there be enough pressure to cycle the slide, and is the powder burning at the proper rate to aid in cycling (not too fast or slow). I have seen various factory ammo misbehave in semis - that's why it's so important for newbees to shoot and learn their gun. Not only for accuracy, but to figure out what ammo it likes (not calling a a newbee...).

@ellorybockting Agreed ! A revolver can fail just as easily {bullet issues} and is MUCH slower to load, even with a speed loader.
notpcone 5 months ago
@ellorybockting Seriously, you're trying to say that Semi's are more accurate and reliable than revolvers? You're full of it, the sight on a semi moves in relationship to the barrel with every shot so the accuracy is affected with every shot. Not so on a revolver as the sight is hard mounted on the barrel, this officer is absolutely correct on his assesment of the revolver. The semi has so many things that can go wrong, weak springs after being loaded over long periods etc...

@ellorybockting I disagree with that. I have fired guns since I was 6. I have a colt da model 1917. I can fire reloads or any other cheap crap at the range and if it misfires,i just pull the trigger again. if someone is in your house and rushes you, it misfires, you pull again. Automatic? you gotta pull the slide again, if you have time.Only thing about revolvers though, I'd recommend you buy the best you can.[colt,s&w, ruger is ok too.there are others, but i don't know a lot about newer guns.

@ellorybockting
A revolver IS more failsafe. It won't stovepipe if you shoot it limp-wristed. There is no magazine or slide to deal with, and I'm not sure where you get your information that auto's are more accurate??? A revolver makes more sense for a newbie, all they need to do is point and squeeze.
Personally I love autos. Glock is a good economical option. Springfield's new XDm is also a great choice. If you want more top of the line I would go with a Sig Sauer.

So can some of us girls. Well, I'll take a shotgun personally for many situations. I've shot a lot of skeet & I can't really miss with a shotgun. I think if the SHTS then I might saw off some of my barrel. I know that is not currently lega, but if there is no law to speak of, who cares? I'm sawing.

@Itsjames1 why? im sitting on 500 oz of silver atm, and couldn't be happier, i hope it goes down to like 10 - 15$ , the problems we have in the economy are only getting worst... temporary spikes in the dollars buying power as other world currencies collapse is to be expected... don't be afraid, keep your silver under the mattress , you will have your day.

@NYzwolf Yeah Im sitting on 500 too. I know the fundamentals. Its just a violent move Im feeling like a sucker who bought into a bubble at the moment. Ive been buying since it was 11 dollars an oz. So either way im still coming out ahead.

for some reason the posting was wonky ....should be ....my grandpa taught me how to handle firearms and respect them. This I learned at age 6 and my mom loved to shoot as she would take me and my brothers to the rifle range.The only evil about owning guns is the demonizing by most of the establishment who want to have control over us .Long live the second amendment !

Bought 12 silver halves (4.34oz) in the past week (I'm 17, only can do so much with not having a job). Going to buy at least 1 more ounce if not 2 or more. I got to stack up as much as possible before utter economic collapse.

thanks Sean.....great to be prepared for worst case scenarios and fun to periodically go to the range for target phandle and respect the firearms and my mom used to take me and my brothers to the rifle range for target practice

A cop with a conscience, strange times indeed.
In my opinion the majority of cops these days are recruited by a certain personality profile which are very aggressive and even psychotic.
It is good to hear that they aren't all like that.

Silver is tanking, & that's good news.
Bought a bag of Franklin halves on 9-24 & will buy more tomorrow.
Hang tough, people. Methinks the Elites engineered this crash to make room for a looming Greek default.
Silver is not fruit, it won't go bad. Buy & hold.

$28.15 WOOOW, please indians buy some silver even if it is religion-illegal in these days, please Benji some QE, or please BoA get finally bankrupt.
I am officially sh..ing my pants right now.

@bezant1971 Don't shit your pants.. Position limits are coming. JPM and the rest of their ilk are trying to get out from under their short position. Once they cover as much as possible they will go long. We will see 10.00 and 20.00 up days soon. Once those crooks go long watch out.

You always put these out JUST when I'm about to go to bed. Then I have to watch them and I get led in many other directions around the web and my bedtime is put off another hour or two...
Much appreciated though. There are a few youtubers that I'll always stay awake for (you and James Corbett top the list!)

I've purchased from quite a few online dealers. Provident Metals, Apmex, and Gainesville Coins are all places I've bought from since April. They're low on quite a few items, but they do have things you can buy, and if you're desperate there is always ebay if you can't find it from anywhere else. I've got Apmex brand silver, silver eagles, silvertowne bars, and sunshine mint bars. I always go with namebrand stuff, or at least I have to this point.

@ChiefAce77 don't worry man, this is just a temporary dip, the dollar is gaining strength this month, the Fed hates deflation, they will correct the deflation and over-inflate and your silver will be back up to 40 - 50$ in no time.... this is just them trying to scare you out of your investment.
They will not let the dollar gain strength for long.... they are just trying to get people to save dollars, so that they can skin them alive later.
NYzwolf 5 months ago
Yeah, I bought another 20 ounces of physical at $40 last week the day before the Fed announcement, and I'm killing myself for it now that we're at $28 an ounce! A $12 drop in less than a week is insane! I'm thinking about buying another 20 ounces tonight though if it hits $27 an ounce, just seems like a steal at this point, but I guess we'll see. I have a feeling the market is going to tank hard tomorrow.
ChiefAce77 5 months ago
@ChiefAce77 Just keep buying more, you'll bring down you average buying price. 20OZ at 40$ is really not that bad. Trust me, you'll be glad you even bought some at 40$ soon enough.

That's what I'm hoping for, I'll have accumulated 140 ounces since April, and at inflated prices I feel like I did as much as I could. My next purchase is a gun and ammo.
