I have shot and carried Critical Duty 45 for well over ten years in my two M&P 45s (1st gen) without any issue. However, I recently stocked up on some more. Today, out of the first eleven rounds...

Practice drawing to low ready …? Yes. The particulars of that practice I’ll leave to others.
The scenario I offered in post #45, “What Would You Do?” is relevant to this subject. I’ll explain...
Here’s a scenario that, I think, will apply to the subject matter of this tread. While it is a ‘what if,’ it could happen (and has). After reading, think about what you would do, or should do. Feel...

I read through the thread, and I didn’t see Pomona, CA mentioned. Pomona PD carried 1911’s in the 70’s. Also, Long Beach PD carried 1911’s in the 70’s. (Long Beach has already been mentioned. But I...

For most of my career I carried a model 60 (j frame) in my left rear pants pocket, in a leather pocket holster. I found it very comforting and easy to access discreetly under most circumstances. ...
Cutter,
I'm sorry to hear about your hearing loss. About 2 1/2 years ago I too experienced sudden hearing loss. I went to my GP doctor the same morning I realized I was 'deaf' in one ear (turned...
NETim,

As a retired big city LEO I have some insight and advice to offer. I agree with David that, "any time they feel they need to...
Offhand at 25 yards:
686P 3", double action, 158 grain Gold dots: 7 shots out of 7 on a 7" paper plate
686P 6", DA, 158 grain Gold Dots or XTPs: 7 shots out of 7 on a 7" paper plate, tighter...
Hi Chuck. I appreciate your expertise. I agree with all your points here.
For clarity: I wasn't meaning to imply that an out-of-battery caused dead trigger constituted "damage." It is just a...
This challenges my mental stereotype of Forester owners as being liberal, anti gun flower children.
I can see how a revolver could be damaged when used to inflict blunt force trama. However in my limited experience my model 14 (with an unprotected ejector rod) has faired well. On the other hand...
That's why every Forester owner should keep a mule handy; and why old prospectors used mules instead of Foresters.
Here are a couple of thoughts that maybe have not already been mentioned as to why revolvers are still relevant and may have an advantage over an auto-loader as a life saving defensive tool in...
Additional to HCM: I'm not use to manipulating a manual safety when it's time to swing into action, so I really didn't want the thumb safety.
Within the political boundries in which I reside, only the thump safety version was (legally) available when it was time for me to buy. But I removed it when I installed the Apex parts; and to...
This is my first post. I've been lurking on this form for some time. I hope you (all) enjoy this story as much as I continue to enjoy your discussions.
