&#9664Previous Post Next Post▶ A crazed man’s rampage came to a not-so-sudden end Saturday morning in Montgomery County Maryland, and a bystander caught it all on video. After striking a lone deputy twice with a long stick, the attacker took a dozen rounds while still advancing on the officer...

Not sure what your hate on revolvers is accomplishing. I’d take a 5-shot stubby over a rock any day.

It may be, it may not.

Good luck.

Good luck.

So you’d rather have no firearm at all than a 5-shot .357? Is that what you’re trying to say? Or are you just trying to be smug again? What purpose does calling anyone not carrying 30 rounds for their edc an idiot do? What is the benefit? Is it “carry your way or nothing”? Why belittle other gun owners and carriers because it’s not your way?

The video aptly demonstrates that handguns suck, and the fewer rounds you have available, the more they suck.

Where did I say that I'd rather have no firearm than a 5 shot 357? (Which is just a hot .38, for those who understand short barrel ballistic limitations)

Where did I call anyone an idiot? That thought came from you.

How am I "belittling" other gun carriers, unless they are snowflakes with egos tied to their shooting iron?

Merely demonstrating, with video evidence, that low capacity firearms may not be such a good idea in this day and age of drug addled mopes and mental cases who feel no pain.

Carry what you want. It's your life.

Yet you take every opportunity to shove it in everyone’s face how dumb it is to carry a “low capacity handgun”. Seems to me
Like you’ve got an axe to grind and I have no idea what good it does anyone.

Never underestimate the affect of a big rock upside the noggin.

Somebody might reconsider their defensive needs, and it may save their life or the life of someone else one day. A little bit of gun forum butthurt from the usual suspects is worth that.

It's knickers in a twist. Panties in a bunch.

I've needed a gun twice. Once it was a 5 shot revolver. It worked. The other was a rifle. It worked.

Don't suck fixes a lot of issues.

Doesn’t fix the fact that the human heart destroyed by gunfire does not prevent the bad guy from pressing his attack for another 10 to 15 seconds. All guns are potentially capable of psychological stops.

Did the deputy in the video just suck? Was that the problem?

 

[Expat]

i assume he was using a 9mm

 

[Creedmoor]

Probability was 9mm Black Talon ammunition.

Well there’s your problem!

9mm isn't a problem. I just worked a scene where a bad guy was put down almost instantly with a SINGLE 9mm shot to the chest.

Every defensive situation is different. Didn't BBI have some statistics at one point that said that the average encounter was like 3 shots to end or something like that? What about all the people who have been killed by a single shot? Sometimes no shot is needed, sometimes one and sometimes multiple mags. Prepare and train for the most likely scenario and pray that you don't need more. Otherwise we should all do like my buddy's uncle and carry a gun with a minimum of 17+1 rounds and two 33 round spare mags, plus an ankle gun. You know, just in case.

It was a joke... don't Denny it. Wait... too late.
