Sorry to the 300 BO boys, but I’m not impressed at all. It’s not a “hot” .45 ACP to me. It’s 205 grains instead of 230 grains, and .45 ACP can be gotten hotter (450 SMC, at 1120 FPS). Also, Lucky Gunner almost always gets expansion in .45 ACP.

For him it’s the .45-70 and .454 Casull.

We discussed this little gun earlier. While I wouldn’t necessarily carry this as a primary weapon, it seems to me a good, light, reliable backup pocket gun for two-legged threats.

In this article, the most common footprints/mounting standards used on red dot sights are listed. Each standard is described and an image of it is added. At the end of each section, red dot sights that use the footprint discussed are listed.
This seems like a very useful cataloging of specifications and mounting information on most, if not all, of the red dot sights available.
Someone spent a lot of time putting this together. Gunsmiths may want to bookmark this for future reference.

The gunman died after being hit with 10 shots in a shootout that Baldwin estimated lasted about four seconds.
Each shot Baldwin fired at the gunman hit its target, including nine to the chest and one to “the central nervous system.” (The second suspect fled.)

Baldwin, 40, said he takes firearms training seriously and hopes that those with concealed-carry permits take inspiration from his story to undergo more training. Baldwin said he trains more than the average concealed-carry holder, often training with tier one military operators and professional sports shooters like his girlfriend, Tori Nonaka, 25. He estimated that it took him about a second to draw his gun and land the first shot.
That’s good shooting under pressure. I hope I do as well if I’m ever faced with a situation like that, but I probably wouldn’t.
One second draw and presentation, 4 seconds to land 10 shots.
