Same. I wouldn't be cooperating. Get a warrant or get off my property.

I have Glock 26 gen 4, subcompact 9, which seems to be available. Also have even smaller sig 938 which has been just as reliable as the glock. I like 9s as the whole family can use them... figure a 9 with hyrda shok is plenty of stopping power for home defense etc.
It really is. Then there's the whole argument about strikers being more reliable than 1911's. Although I've never had either of my Kimbers jam on me, I haven't put thousands of rounds through them. Most of us won't shoot them enough or use them in a real world situation where we're going to notice the difference. As you said, the right ammo for home defense will be enough for any intruder or carrying.gargin said:Juggs said:I looked there back in February or maybe it was March and couldn't find a single Glock 19....IIRC.

I can say my .45s have far better range and accuracy, but I can't imagine I'm ever in a scenario where I need to shoot something 100 yards away and I don't have a rifle with me
Lol, exactly... and my wife would be knocked on her ass w a 45.Juggs said:I can say my .45s have far better range and accuracy, but I can't imagine I'm ever in a scenario where I need to shoot something 100 yards away and I don't have a rifle with megargin said:Juggs said:I looked there back in February or maybe it was March and couldn't find a single Glock 19....IIRC.

Nah. My wife is 5'2" - 100lbs and loved shooting 45s. Before I sold my 45s, to downsize to one caliber, she loved the Sig 1911.
Nice. I need another safe. Mine is maxed out. It’ll be a while before I can afford a larger one. Stupid house repairs and remodeling getting in the way of my toys.
Something to consider is when the shit really hits, there might be zoo animals about so have something that can take down a rhino Tom
I do carry my .45 when I may run into bears instead of the 9mm.Evil gator said:

You really only need a 22 for that. Just shoot someone in the knee cap, then slowly move away.

When I went on this 8 night trip to AK some years ago, we camped every night along the River, definitely Grizzly country. The outfitter wasn’t happy I brought a .45, he commented it won’t stop a Griz, my reply was I can shoot whoever’s in front of me while we’re running away in the ass, problem solved. They didn’t think that was funny
I think the concern with caliber vs bear is not freaking the fuck out and shooting at whatever you can hitufgators68 said:
Granted, in part I'm in will just have black bears, so I really have no concern. Odds of attack are very low unless cubs are nearby and they're not really sneaking up on you with possible intent. If I were in grizz country, I might be more worried. They can close ground crazy fast, so aiming for a knee may not work out so well for you.

It's a myth though. There are plenty of instances of a grizz being killed by a .45. And if you use the right ammo, 100% it can. A lot of Alaskans carry a .45 as their sidearm. My dad's cousin lived way up in the tundra for a long time as a government addiction therapist to the Inuits. I've heard plenty of stories. Although when he took my dad hunting for a couple weeks on Inuit land, his .35 Whelen (that bastard shoots a flame 2 feet out the muzzle) never left his side. The outhouses at the cabins didn't have doors so you could shit and see in front of you at night with your rifle pointed out because people would get mauled by bears on the shitter. What a crap way to go
Yeah, I've been somewhat close to a black bear and felt safe. Getting anywhere near a Griz would probably scare the shit out of me

My husband went to the backwoods in Montana with only bear spray shocked he didn’t die lol.
He saw like a bloody leg of a deer on the snow and was sure he was being stalked as meat
If he was being stalked as meat, he wouldn't have made it out to tell the story

I was just talking about this yesterday with someone. When people get attacked by animals or get lost in the woods, usually city people. They are over confident or too stupid to have a healthy respect for nature. I've had hogs get aggressive with me, I don't even go on nature trails without being armed
Possible pre-emptive goodbye to me or perhaps just some fingers. I've been toying with the idea of making my own gunpowder. It's surprisingly simple with 3 easy to get ingredients and they're making their way into my amazon shopping cart

If you weren't already, you are now definitely on a terrorism watchlist.
