@steelcandy It's not poor shot placement, and if you read my posting I made two-years ago it states it was good shot placement on both accounts. All shots were center mass, and yes I did see the actual shot placement wounds. Two-days ago I saw a gunshot victim of a .38 Special JHP enter the leg and exited the kneecap, and the victim walked into the emergency department.
I still standby that it's not what's best for you but what is worst for the criminal.
Take care and stay safe!

@td84 I have to agree with her on this. A large rifle cal hunting pistol will certainly work worst for the criminal, but is not practical for most people to use as a ccd weapon. 12 and 18 9mm rounds to stop 1 person at typical police shootout ranges? Sounds like poor shot placement. I am not a fan of the 9mm but it does have enough stopping power that 12 rounds ( or 18! ) are not needed if good shot placement is achieved.

@XGCScrappy hey... all I'm saying is that a 1911 is hard to conceal. Yes, I want a 1911 and I have a big .44 mag revolver, but those cannot be a very good concealment carry...
And... I know you can get compact in the 1911s, but is it really the mofo 1911 that it used to be?
Was MiniMe really Dr. Evil?
and I know you can get 1911s in .22lc, 9mm, or .40 cal but really it is the carbon copy of the 1911 .45 ACP... Hope you have a nicer day...

Uh, how in the hell are the police going to know that someone used reloaded shells?

"get there firstest with the mostest" Mrs lima is right, if you can't employ your weapon precisely, it doesn't matter what caliber you are shooting. If you can shoot straight. Drop 8 rounds or 17, the question is did you drop your targets?

@scarredman42 WTH?? 45 ACP is only stay at home/competition? That's all the balls I'm busting on that comment. Holler at me if you need some help.

I have always been a revolver fan. most kids cannot cock the hammer, or if double action, cannot pull the trigger. They are very simple, no springs, no slides getting stuck, no magazine problems or whatever... I have a big .44 mag. I plan on getting my THL...
1911's are too big to be anything but competition guns or a stay home guns, but my 'next' gun is a Springfield 1911... I want in a .40 cal but I can easilier handle a .45 ACP... this would be my home protection...

Sorry 45s are too big to heavy I have use .357 / 38 for 30 yrs normally
but have carried two different 380s at special events that was loan to me.
Saw the S/W Body Guard and is thinking of getting one only because it
had more rounds then my .357 I am getting older and there is less of a kick with a 380

I never said there was any legislation that prohibits reloads for self defense, only that it was a bad idea to use reloads for self defense. Prosecuting attorneys can and do use reloads against justified shooters. Inconsistencies in powder residue, the type of tip, all of these things can be used against an individual in court. If you don't think that happens I invite you to read some articles by Ayoob where he has defended such cases. He strongly recommends against reloads for defense.

Humm I wonder if someone practiced with the unnecessary .5 caliber, they would later find a .45 to be tamable... sort of like putting a weight on the end of your bat before you actually have to swing at a ball?
I personally am a 1911 Colt .45 fan ;-)

Not really. If you aren't practicing proper stance, grip, sight alignment and trigger control it doesn't matter what you were practicing with, you'd still suck when you went back to your regular calibers. Also, practicing a LOT with very high calibers is very hard on the hands, elbows and even shoulders. Only perfect practice makes perfect and anything you learn properly on a low caliber will directly transfer to your higher calibers. I'd rather practice with .22 or 9mm.

what do you think about the glock 17 (and others) and sigs?
alexchiem2 2 years ago
One day i will probably end up purchasing a G19. I love sigs. I've always wanted a 239. We had a 220SAO not long ago. I also like the new 238. Sigs are great firearms.
