Hi there, I've found an interesting comparison tool on Winchester's website: http://www.winchester.com/lawenforcement/testing/testing.aspx# -> Launch Testing Comparison Tool Don't forget to scroll sideways on that one. It seems that the slowes (no +p or +p+) 147gr "T" 9x19mm outperforms the...

Pump Guns are illegal where I live so I have the following choice: For a CQB defense gun up to 10yds: - Baikal Coach Gun for EUR 390,- or - a hardly used Second hand Mossberg 9200 18" parkerized Semi Auto for EUR 490,- I intend to keep the gun loaded and ready for years. Thank you for...

Hi there, I am European. My Dad is in MA at the moment. I'd like him to buy a Marlin 336 (Pic below) for me in MA and - bring it with him back to Europe - or just mail it to me in Europe (DHL, UPS etc) - or let him buy it in MA and make the shop ship it to me in Europ. The European side is...

What would you prefer for defense in a lever-action gun (short range): .44 Magnum with say Barnes XTB Bullets (10 Shots in a Marlin) or a .30-30 (6 Shots in a Marlin)? and, why would you prefer one over the other? Stay safe, PB PS: Nice Barnes-Pic, isn't it...

I just bought cheap Magtech .223 55gr "FMC" ("223A") ammo. It looks like M193, has a cooper jacked and a deep canelure. All feature of an M193 bullet, right? Will these tumble and fragment from a 1/9 20" barrel? My question relates to info such as this, published at...

What would you prefer as a short-range defense gun: a .30-30 Lever Action like a Marlin 336 (Bullets from 55 to 179gr, new Lever Eveolution or Remingtin Accelerator with 3400(!) ft/sec) or a 12ga Coach gun (00 Buck, 1 Buck or slugs)? I guess I'd slightly prefer the .30-30 but I am still...

I fancy the Rem 7615p (pics below). I am still not sure which stock to order. For CQB-situations I'd like the standard-stock better because it makes it more handy if you (had to) use the rifle's stock as a club/bat. What do you think? or http://www.remingtonle.com/rifles/7615.htm

Hi there, I am still/again interested in this rifle. Who shot it? Liked/disliked it and why? Here's what Remington says on thier LE website: "New Model 7615P Pump Action Patrol Rifle At last, a light, handy and quick in action duty/patrol rifle using a higher capacity magazine. The Model...

Hi there, I prefer rifles to shotguns even at shortest ranges. So I want to get a Marlin 336 C and keep it in my office as a defense (SHTF/TEOTWAWKI) option. I understand the Marlin 336 is very reliable. Would it mind if I kept the tubular magazin always loaded, i.e. for years? I would train...

Hit there! Title says almost all. I was offered two hardly used 18,5" Mossberg 9200s.The strange thing is that I can hardly find any info on that "jungle gun" on the internet. The alternative would be a Benelli M4 or a Remington 11-87 or a coach gun. The purpose is: Backup for SHTF...

I have been offered a hardly used Mossberg 9200 autoloader with a, 18" barrel. I itend to keep it for defense and defense-training. This gun is out of production. Is it any good? Thanks, PB

You might have heared about the recent criminal case in Austria: 8 years ago a man kidnapped a 10 year old girl on her way to school. He kept her in a sound-isolated room for 10 years. Now she managed to escape alive and apparently (physically) unharmed. One of the stunning details is that from...

The longer I carry, the lower the trigger pull of my Glocks (26, 19, 17) gets. At the moment I carry with the following setup: red firing ping spring "minus" connector "schuwiduu" firing pin safety (that one makes a difference!) That makes a rater short soft and low-weight trigger pull...

Hi there, if finally narrowed my search for a precision rifle down to the following two guns: - Tikka T3 Tactical, or - Steyr SSG69 I was pretty suprised that the Steyr SSG 69 (old) fits my hands better than the new models SSG04, Tactical Elite, and Scout. The Tikka feels like taylor made...

I have to correct myself on a theory on what to do if held at gun point, eg at a crossoads, and forced to leave my car to let a BG get in and (try) to drive off. Older and wiser I'd try to do the following: As soon as BG sits down and is diverted by that, shoot front and rear tires of the...

title says all, what do you folks use? Thanks and stay safe, PB

Mag Tech produces 9MM Luger 92.6 Grain Solid Copper Hollow Points any experience with these or opinions? The concept of using solid copper for the entire bullet and the weight of 90grs reminds me of the Hirtenberger/Fiocchi EMB, but the EMB seems to be a more advanced and versatile design...

Hi there, I found this interresting article: http://www.govexec.com/features/0604-15/0604-15s1.htm that was 2005, have they decided yet? PS: Did they ever consider a .45? :D

I wanted to go back to http://www.ammo-oracle.com/ for some reference and I find a strange platform? What happened to the site?
