Couldn't say - I haven't seen any reports where birdshot ripped off anything. Not saying that to be snarky, but I haven't. One could assume that the lethality would be equally low barring a pellet penetrating the eye(s) and lodging itself in a vital part of the brain, being that the skull is thick and facial bones don't protect anything vital.

I dunno... At least admit that it would be unpleasant

You have a semi-auto and have x-rounds +1 are you carrying the +1 in the chamber? Same with revolver x in the wheel - hammer on round?

All of my handguns are fully loaded at all times with a round in the chamber or under the hammer. None of my handguns have safeties either.

From my home town. http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=361731

This has influenced me more than you can imagine. my dad has a ccw permit in PA and is only a few years older than the guy in the article.

I'll be taking the class here in sc soon. Just goes to show seconds count, dad was on that same trail the day before. He's now carrying 1 in the pipe.

Cleaning my Kimber...

Nice. I'm trying to weasel my way into this:

SWMBO hasn't been convinced. Still getting comfortable with my Colt XSE Govt. I would def carry the Kimber Ultra Carry II if I could figure out how to get one. But I'd rather have a happy wife than another gun, so gotta do the right thing.... And sell my Beretta.

I have the Compact Stainless II and I love that weapon...

Unpleasant? Yeah. But not going to stop a someone hopped up on meth coming at you. So it blows a hole in drywall? I have done that numerous times with my fist but don't I kind of doubt I could penetrate someone's skull or rib cage with my fist.

You want to be able to drop someone, not just make it unpleasant.

Looks like it will be up to the range this weekend with my coach gun and some Heavy Metal bird shot and a rotisserie chicken so I can settle this for myself

Video please.

And have you ever tried snapping a chicken bone before? Pretty easy huh? What about a human's rib cage or skull?

My Colt got a little update today, Wilson Combat grips and beaver tail grip safety.

Not the best pics, but before:

After:

 

[Huskysibe]

Wow, I like the look of that. Good job on the upgrades!

 

[dracothered]

Looks nice also...

though I do have to ask why the grips change?

Thanks. Mostly just vanity for the grips, I like a clean, all-black look. They feel similar to the Colt grips, a little less course than the Colt checkering maybe.

With the beaver tail my hand feels about a quarter inch higher. Whether it is or not I'm not sure, but my hands are up on the frame where I like them with less pinch in the web of the hand.

Just picked up a Ruger SR9c in stainless for everyday carry. This has to be one the most comfortable guns i've held. It really just fits my hands and feels right. Plus i was able to make my IWB Glock holster work with it too.

 

[Bedlam]

Just ordered a Baby Desert Eagle, 9mm (steel body) for target/plinking that will be ready for pick up this week. At a gun show this past weekend, I picked up the .45 version and it fit me like a glove. I've been looking for a 9mm that works for me and I like the classic feel. Since I don't conceal/carry, I'm not worried about weight and really don't like anything with a plastic-y feel.

Yay!

I have over 20 guns. I am an avid duck and goose hunter and also guide a lot.

Well, I love my kel-tec p-11 I picked up a month or so ago! Had a hard time finding a "public" range... went to myrtle and broke it in. 250 rounds. 1 fail to eject early on, no probs after that. Cleaned weapon well before and after firing (new gun wanted to make sure no factory mess was still in workings). I did add a houge jr grip and the pinky mag extension to give a better grip feel. shot 115gr fmj, looking at some 124gr to see difference. +p ammo not reccomended in kel-tecs, by mfg.

picked up some 115gr hornady critical defense to keep in a mag for home.

Very interested in the kel-tec 2000 9mm carbine, looks like a perfect backpack gun! and takes same mags as my keltec pistol and larger (up to 30rd S&W) May be seeing if one of these is at next gun show! Planning a backpacking trip to NC in bigfoot country. LOL.

 

[dracothered]

Well the one I posted already and I just added to my collection which is the SKS.

I want one of these just in a .40, but nobody has them nor is getting them, it seems like.

[chris181rtHops]

Ive always collected guns..I probably had 25 pistols or so..usually from gun shows ..Ive even had a m4 copy..had to let em all go and plan on getting back into it.

 

[Denny330]

I just purchased a Sig P226 Enhanced Elite (9mm) last Friday (had to order it). I was a carjacking victim about two weeks ago. I played it cool, called the cops afterward after the guy let me go. They found him afterwards. He was a violent felon parolee who has skipped parole and just happened to find me. Needless to say, it changed my whole outlook on life. I spent 9 years in the Navy and swore that I would never have guns around me again. My how times have changed.

 

[Airborneguy]

Glad you're safe.

 

[Denny330]

Thanks. I thought I could play it cool and went to work afterwards. I didn't make it too long.

It came down between an FN and the Sig. I'm sure, based on the pics in this thread, I'll be getting the FN soon too.: )

 

[Rubes]

Just bought 500 rounds for my TT-33, can't wait for range day.

 

[CoalCracker]

Working on building two AR-15's to go with the collection of hunting rifles and pistols. Fiance is less than pleased.. ah well.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Relatively cheap project from last fall:

 

[dracothered]

Finally got my Enfield back from the gun smith and can't wait to get out to the range.
