Just read a good book on this subject, called The Beast in the Garden. It discusses the increase in cougars around Boulder, CO, in the 1990s, largely due to an increased urban deer population and...

I think volume will be highly dependent on training age. There’s no indication of training age in the study participants. New trainees, whose bodies are not adapted to stress, will see more...
Oops, meant to include my weight, I’m around 195-198. Can’t seem to stay over the 200 mark. I’m 6’1”.
I only care about my bench because I do aim to compete, and in that case, all three matter....
Hit some new PRs during the week of my 30th birthday: squat 450, bench 240 (sucks), and deadlift 540.
I started with Starting Strength in 2015 and I’ve done some Barbell Medicine programs, now...
I figured it out pretty quickly, without using the instructions, so I’ll probably keep the tourniquet. I do want a smaller one for carrying, though.
Edit: and I would like to see that study.

Re: the discussion: is the RMT useable by a person who has not trained on it?
If I carry one, I’ll train with it. But if I’m incapacitated, and my buddy/wife sees it sticking out of my pocket and...
So I’ve had annual tourniquet training in the military, used to wear one on my vest, but that one is now in a backpack elsewhere in the vehicle and current job doesn’t require the vest. Besides, I’m...
Man, drawing the gun and keeping it hidden behind a leg or something seems like a really bad idea. Just makes you look sketchy to LE.
Wouldn’t it be better to wait to draw until you’ve ID’d the...
Good idea re: the sharpie tick mark

I like my Blue Alpha Gear Low Profile EDC belt. I wear the buckle at 1:30, to the right of my front right belt loop, to keep the stiff part of the belt on the gun.

I’ll double check my top rounds for setback and maybe put them deeper in the mag. They do get discolored and I make sure to shoot them at my first opportunity but I’ve never had an issue.

Caballo Flaco, makes sense. But if it won’t run reliably manually cycling, I’m not going to trust it actually firing, at least until I get to the range.
Have you witnessed bullet setback? Every...
I’d been carrying a Magpul 21 rd mag as a spare for my G19.4 and G19X, but after seeing a post (I think it was from JodyH) mentioning failures to feed hollow points from Magpul mags, I decided to try...
That’s true for me too, especially when I’m with kids. They go to bed at 1930, so we’re not out after dark and we’re not in bad parts of town.

Yeah I have the Kit Bag, it’s awesome. I wear it on suburban trails without a second glance from most. Mostly worried about rabid dogs/coyotes there.
Problem is drawing fire back towards myself...
Something I’ve been thinking about: I carry daily, but I often have a 5 yr old and 18 month old with me - in a stroller, in a grocery cart, in a backpack, in my arms, in the car.
Obviously the...
Thanks for all the inputs here. I shouldn’t have said I’d replace the 43 with a 19X. They’re for different roles.
I should probably give the 43 another shake. I do want to keep it for its size,...
Thanks gents. Hadn’t considered the CO law yet; I’ll be living near CO and traveling there a lot. I work for an exempted agency but I wouldn’t be on duty or in uniform in CO. In any case, I could...
So I took my G43 to the range yesterday for the first time, put 225 rounds through it. I was not impressed with accuracy and shootability. Not sure what I expected there.
When I switched to my...
Yeah I’m using Tapatalk. My screen is tiny so using the browser on the phone’s not fun. Is there another/better app? Tapatalk works great for reading and browsing but not searching.

Thanks for the help. I’m on my iPhone; I don’t have a desktop. Best I can do is an iPad. Search functionality is pretty limited in the iPhone app.

I know there’s a lot of good info on here, but it’s hard to find.
If I search “G43” in the app, I get every single thread where anyone ever mentioned a G43. But if I search “pistol-forum.com G43”...
What if you’re actually a pilot?

Don’t want to step on you but an easy way to make microplates is with 2” washers. I found some at a hardware store (MAC’s), and used Gorilla glue to stick two together. They weigh about 0.5-0.6 lbs...
I just got a similar session from an SSC in Albuquerque after doing SS LP, advanced novice, and TM since 2015. I’d recommend it. At the beginning I had a buddy that worked out with me but no one...
