I think 6 rounds is enough for SD

[FrommerStop]

I believe there are a lot of historical examples before us that are clear indicators. We’ve watched this happen to several countries in my lifetime- Brazil, Venezuela, the Soviets in the 90’s, etc. Furthermore, there’s a lot of empire examples to learn from as well. The average lifespan of any empire fell in under 225 years (Greeks, Romans, Mongols, etc.).

It’s going to go from “that wouldn’t ever be us” to “wtf just happened” in a matter of days. Total chaos. War and violence are imminent and unavoidable at this point. We’ve long crossed the point of no return.

Empires fall fastest usually in direct proportion to the ruling class becoming more decadent&corrupt with general population below most interested in themselves and everyone out of touch with reality.
But that is a topic for another thread.

I do not think its time to put weapons at each window

welll...

I think we all agree that more bullets in the gun are better than fewer.
Now does a larger caliber mitigate having fewer bullet capacity.

Only if you hit with it!

No. . . . You still must hit the intended target. Depending on the placement, maybe more than once.

Gun fights seldom go like a man thinks it will. Hopefully most of us will never know for sure what we will do in a gun fight.

when your SS check bounces is a good time to stack ,there are other events too

The video I posted was from a report of 1900 dgu's. Also some good info on 410 revolvers that might suprise you.

To each, their own.

Most people have not yet accepted what is already happened. The beloved nation we grew up in is no more.

Currently, there’s a death rattle, and people are still mistaking it with hope for a resurgence.

This is just my opinion and I’d love to be wrong. Thousands of years of history and current events say I’m not.

Because we are not the one who controls the situation, the shooter does.

Still the best defense is the Mark 1 eye ball if it looks, smells ,sounds sketchy back out before it sets off . Many bad guys are street combat vets that started with hands on and now a sideways stolen glock ....they will use it . It is a concept alien to most of us but this is what they do for a living and they do not practice firearm safety and WILL NOT HESITATE to shoot .

Agreed

Some info. Ymmv

Good Vid! Thanks for that!

Data is important. The conclusions made from this I agree with some and disagree with some of the others.
Where I disagree the most is long gun v handgun for things like preppers and other events where tactics and effective ranges are not mentioned. And there is more, but this is also a very good study and some of the conclusions are valid.

I forgot I have a Star Firestar M45 in the safe. I need to get it out this weekend.

Mags are 40->95$ hope you bought 10

I’ve got the 2 that were original with the gun. And I’m one the lookout at every show I go to for additional mags. Sadly, no longer in production, only after-markets which IME are not that reliable.

You suffer from the same issue I have like out of production models that have 60$ mags. Every handgun or odd rifle I get now I buy 10 mags. First thing I look at is how much are the mags. That's why I stay away from. Fn,sig and a few others. I'm not paying 49$ for a mag for a current production gun. That's robbery.

 

[Themumfordman]

The FN and Sig mags are nuts price wise. On the steel frame Sigs I’ve had really good luck with the Mec-Gar ones for half the price, but nothing like finding mags for a Glock. It’s unfair how much cheaper they are, and in the end they all do the same job.

And then there’s the HK ones, but you need a loan to buy those…
