guess who started carrying Condition 1 today?

[jamesg]

I DID.

I also grabbed a box of Hornady Z-MAX ammo for the inevitable zombie apocalypse!

One step closer to being a trigger happy extremist!

 

[zombiekilla]

Hope you read the disclaimer that hornady put out for the zombie max. If you really use these in self defense and the perp doesn't stop, hornady can't be held liable. They are selling these as a novelty.

 

[Hiram2005]

Well if the perp isn't a zombie, they wouldn't work!

 

[Amattern]

Isn't the new zombie ammo just critical defense with greenish filling instead of the red that is in the critical defense rounds?

 

[printcraft]

 

[WC Deer Hunter]

I guess some people do change.

 

[ikky68]

You failed to mention the make and model of your trusty pal.

 

[WC Deer Hunter]

Yes even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then.

 

[goinggreyfast]

I got my first box today. I'm ready! (Seriously doubt I'll ever actually use them--got them for the novelty.)

if you are seriously going to the ammo manufacturer for recourse after a shooting incident where the rounds you used didn't work, you're doing it wrong, the only person liable for me not stopping the perp is me

Isn't the new zombie ammo just critical defense with greenish filling instead of the red that is in the critical defense rounds?

yes it's the same 185 grain Critical Defense rounds, has green colored filling in the bullet and the casing is plain brass as opposed to nickel plated.

they are the same, just being sold as a novelty and they are actually a couple bucks cheaper per box than the critical defense model, or they were at the HiPoint gun shop in Sellersburg, IN the other day, $22 for the box

Thanks for posting those pictures. I was really tempted to buy a few boxes and have my brother do a few mag dumps just to make sure I wasn't a zombie. Now that I know this is live ammo, I may rethink this exercise.

Just as long as you were not carrying while you were just hanging around the house.

Then you would be a paranoid hair triggered gun freak just waiting to spray hot lead.

it sits on the coffee table in front of me within reach, does that count ?

also i have been pocket carrying for the weekend everywhere, Applebees, Value City Furniture in Louisville (sign says no guns), local Chase bank twice today, even sitting in banker office to get title notarized and at the indoor teller to get several thousand in cash, Kroger, Hi Point Firearms in Sellersburg.......and lots of other places like convenience stores.

I left it printing pretty well with just a few inches of tshirt covering loosely.....nobody ever said a word.

Now you are definitely a paranoid fanatic.

 

[jamesg]

oh hell......

 

[Bunnykid68]

Jamesg, why the change of heart on your carrying options?

 

[Double T]

You failed to mention the make and model of your trusty pal.

I would imagine it'd be a 1911 as it's pretty much what the "conditions" define.

IMHO all guns need to be treated as if in condition 0.

partially because my wife can barely even pull the slide back to cock it, this way if she needs to use it she can much more easily, that and because Zombies are fast

i see someone above wants to nitpick over the make and model and the technicality of the term used (it's a Taurus PT145 Mil Pro btw)

to that i say "the ***** will go off as soon as the safety is dropped and the finger hits the trigger"

it has no de-cocker so unlike a 1911 it cannot be carried Condition 2, but that's not applicable anyways, so meh

Glad to see you becoming more of a trigger happy mad man like the rest of us
