Here is a little test that will help you
 decide.


The answer can be found by posing the following question:
 
You're walking down a
deserted street with your wife
and two small
 children .

Suddenly, a Terrorist with a huge
 knife
comes around the corner,
locks eyes with
 you,
screams obscenities,
raises the knife, and
 charges at you . . .

You are carrying a
Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?



THINK CAREFULLY AND
THEN SCROLL DOWN:

 Answer:
Well, that's not enough
   information to answer the question!
What is a Kimber 1911 cal. 45
   ACP?
Does the man look poor or
   oppressed?
Is he really a terrorist? Am I
   guilty of profiling?
Have I ever done anything to
   him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun
   like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about
   this situation?
Does the pistol have
   appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun
   anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my
   children?
Is it possible he'd be happy
   with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill
   me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and
   hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so
   deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have
   paint & weed day.
Can we make this a happier,
   healthier street that would discourage such behavior?
I need to debate this with some
   friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
This is all so
   confusing!

Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy!'
'Were those the
 Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?'

Son:
 'Can I shoot the next one?!'

Wife: 'You ain't
 taking that to the Taxidermist!

Simple ... older southerner.

.357 so only 6 shots and only 1 needed.

However, each of my famlily of 4 own the same exact gun (well with different grips). So.. the question isn't one of us shooting multiple times... its more of who was too late to get a good shot in.


PS: which will probably be ME.. as my family except me have had proffessional armed self defense training. ( so they know when to shoot).

PPS: yeah losing the "war between the states" can make you a little crazy.


PPS: there are too many BANGs  for most M1/1911. Standard is 7 plus one in the pipe.

she shoots a S&W .38 special air weight/w no hammer

So, shes having to pull the trigger hard enough to thingy the thing & let the hammer drop, which , for me at least, means Im gonna pull off target some. Ive never fired one of those, the only gun I have that can be fired by just hauling on the trigger till the hammer pulls back is a Biggo S&W 357 w a 6 or 8 inch barrel,, I cant 'member rat now,,
& shes STILL hitting a 1 inch group? That bad guy better hope he is carrying that 1 inch square target on a stick held off to the side somewhere, huhh? He sure wouldnt want it on his chest,,

You got that Bodyguard hammerless revolver?

Regardless of which, you are guilty.

LOL, when we had ammo... and were going to the range, we would put our guns flat on the bench in front of us...say go... and pull off 2-4 rounds. Her trigger is 5lb pull so she don't pull too quickly and at 30ft you better hope you hold the target off to the side, cause two of the bullets she aims at the target are going to be dead bull and if she aims at you....um you won't have muscle motion left to hold the target....

Practice your pull and you won't miss, that's why I put the laser on her pistol, she don't put any outside a 10" target at 30 ft no matter how fast she pulls the trigger... how wide is your chest?
Oh maybe if you had a sniper rifle and were 200ft away she "might" miss your body, but if you are a burgler or robbing her you wouldn't be shooting from that far away.

Thought i'd add a pic of my double tap and multi tap target practice... the top target is double tap practice, the top two groups in top target were quick double left handed (i'm right handed) its at 30ft... twice the distance across the average room in a house.

The bottom target is constant tap/w a reload of a 8 load on second mag.
not everyone is as incompetent at shooting as you would think....

Well, if you have a weapon, practice, practice, practice.... that's practice safety, practice aim, practice tactical... after that, its natural.

Her hands are actually too small for the sig 9m and she hate the Keltech 9m as do I, dang thing jams on certain ammo, even after the ejector spring change.
I got her the .38 because of her being a novice at shooting, the 5lb pull kept her from jumping the gun on trigger squeeze on pickup. Believe you me, she has good hand and forearm strength for such a little frame.
We haven't purchased her a semi-auto yet because of ammo availability and she has yet to find one she likes, we will trade the Keltech in on which ever one she settles for in the end.
We do have a gun range north of us about 1.5hrs that rents guns for target practice, but since ammo prices have quadrupled we haven't gone for about four months...
For now, she is happy, and if she is happy...well you know
