Kimber Micro 9 Extended Magazines. I have 7 in factory sealed packages - $25 each.
I live in the Jeffersonville area and I will give a reduced rate for pickups. Otherwise, shipping is free with the given price.
I think the scenario of a bad guy rushing into a transitional space doesn't fit into your argument very neatly. OCing wouldn't be avoided if the attacker doesn't know there is an OC until after said bad guy's gun is drawn and scenario is being played out. By that time it's fight or flight for...
They weren't paying close attention. But in the videos they were visually scanned, hence the defenders concealed their draws. But I am sure a discreetly open carried firearm would have similar effect most times. It's hard to say. I still open carry. Did so today at Lowe's. :p
I'll give you a real answer. I don't know why folks are so hard on opinion questions. They're fun even if slightly redundant.
I like 9mm. It's actually observable in self-defense footage involving firearms that capacity can be a real issue depending on the scenario. I've seen people run...
The current plan is to get a: Bushnell TRS-25 Tactical Red Dot 1x25mm
With a: Leapers 1 inch High 3-Slot High Compact Riser
But I am not sure if the 1 inch riser will co-witness right with the front sight on the Del-Ton. Also, not sure about the Bushnell quality.
I've decided to buy my first AR-15: An entry level Del-Ton DT Sport. Mostly because I bumped into an amazing deal (under $400) and it gets good reviews for what it is.
However, I do think I will need an optic. I've used Romeo optics before, and like them. But for my budget \ first AR-15, I'm...
Peruse Active Self Protection Youtube Channel. You should be able to dozens of examples with relative ease; that and it's a gloriously helpful. Probably one of the best educational resources out there if not the best on self-defense with a firearm...
Having watched hundreds of self-defense videos involving firearms, the most successful tactic I've seen is the counter-ambush. You see it time and time again; an armed robber enters a transitional space, threatening with a firearm or knife and getting the drop on everyone, often leveling the...
Haha. No worries, me buying a gun isn't much of a commitment. I'll probably have it sold this week. ;p Great gun though. Doesn't really fit in the compact carry application I was seeking. Debating keeping it for IDPA SSP.
Best advice thus far probably. Sadly I get paid fairly well for what I do, and only get asked to travel super occasionally, so no isn't much of an option. :P
The combination of them flying me, driving via Uber, and it being Chicago sounds like I won't be armed at all. But if I can get away...
I get it - Chicago is trouble for concealed carry. No one is advocating breaking the law here. If I wanted advice on how to get away with breaking the law I'd be a bit more discreet about it. Until I go rogue, my real question remains what is the best legal means of protecting one's self in...
Well Underwood is pretty respected. But you're right, those agencies do a lot of testing. I enjoy revolvers but I get capacity anxiety. It's probably treatable with some therapy and a few pills.
I shot my first IDPA in the Revolver division using .357 magnum rounds when everyone else was uses light .38s. I got shots on target in decent times for a newbie. I got a fair bit of 0s, and I got hits at 20 yards in weird positions. I think I had a miss in the last stage when I got a little...
Okay, so OC Spray is legal in Chicago? I've heard otherwise. And by your "magic rabbit's foot of a gun" you seem to be assuming I thought I would be carrying an unusable gun, which of course, isn't what I wasn't implying. I wanted to know Chicago\Illinois law to know manner of transportation, as...
A locked case? No. Or maybe, haven't really tried. A gun out of a separate compartment from the magazine? Yes. This reply also assumes I know anything about Illinois\Chicago law (locked case?). I asked for advise, remember.
I hear you. And honestly, it's more reassuring if I heard that Air Marshals and US Secret Service carried something like Underwood in their .357 platforms. But I actually found out by talking to asking Gary Byrne (former USSS\Air Marshals) that at least the Air Marshals are using 125 grain...
I don't know anything about Chicago \ Illinois gun law. I just know it's strict. So I am asking for advice. If something will land me in jail then I won't do it - I'm not asking how to break the law but how to optimize my self-defense strategy in Chicago. That's the point of this thread...
