I have two .22 LR LCP II.

My standard for vetting carry ammo is shooting a fully loaded magazine plus one in the chamber three times without stoppage.

I installed an XS Sight Systems ghost ring sight set on one of my 10/22s about 20 years ago. I really enjoy shooting with these sights. They're on my knock-about 10/22 that always goes to the range...

An MP5SD shoots bullets at a lower velocity than a standard MP5. If an MP5SD was involved, then that might be the answer.

Blood loss takes time to have an effect.

When I mountain bike, I carry a G19, an ASP baton, and pepper spray to deal with rural farm dogs that run loose. I've had a couple give chase when they...

Intermittent failure caused by who knows what.

Hi, Tom:

FWIW, I was a Technical Consultant with IWBA, also personally vetted by Fackler. He invited me to test ammunition in his lab at The Presidio in the early 1990s.

During a traffic stop...

I grew up in O-side in the 70's. Attended OHS. Dad was a career Jarhead. Our house was in the valley, across from the Drive In theaters on Mission Ave.

Unless the bullet disrupts the spinal cord, hits to the torso take time for blood loss to take effect - 10-15 seconds if the heart is completely destroyed, according to informed medical opinion.

Competitive shooting reveals your weaknesses and reveals the things you don't know that you don't know.

You don't have to win trophies to improve your shooting skill by competing in IDPA or USPSA...

I carried an S&W model 28 Highway Patrolman .357 Magnum on patrol in the 80s. I used HKS speedloaders and never had an issue.

I carried an S&W model 28 Highway Patrolman on patrol in the 80's, loaded with .357 Magnum 125gr. I agree, the muzzle flash was not an always thing.

Gotcha.

He's a "Jim Grover" (aka Kelly McCann) kind of guy.

Thanks.

Who's "SLG" and why should anyone listen to him?

The Ammoland article is incorrect.

Knives are only specifically banned in areas where court proceedings are held, per RCW 9.41.300...

Hmmm...

With the BUIS aligned, I just adjust the dot until it's centered on the tip of the front sight.

This corresponds to a 25 yard zero.

Then I go to the range and zero it at 10 yards.

Well... the marketing hype uses the term "wound cavity," which intentionally misleads folks into believing the temporary cavity damages soft tissues.

Some advice: whenever a bullet manufacturer...
