Boyd,
When you say it won't go through a wall, what type of wall are you referring to? Is the drywall type wall enough to make it expand and not carry on into the next room? Not one sheet of drywall of course, but more like the standard drywall in appartments with 6 inches or so in between drywalls with wooden boards in the middle as beams. If not that would really be great for home safety so as not to enter the next room through the wall.
This is from their website; THE BOTTOM LINE MagSafe Ammo is faster, recoils less, and stops attackers faster than any other ammunition in the world. Elite forces are outfitted with MagSafe, from Navy SEALS to the Royal Hong Kong Police anti-gang units, from big-city undercover narcs to guards at some of America's meanest prisons.
The reason is simple. MagSafe works. It's expensive, but it works. You really can turn your .380 into .45 auto, but you have to pay for this kind of hand-crafted performance.
The question is this: Just how much is your life worth?

Here's the one I went with; It's a Springfield Armory XD Sub Compact .40 S&W. At home I keep the tac light on and a 13 round mag with an extended grip in, which makes it feel just like a full size. When carrying it out I use the 9 round mag and don't have the tac light, so it conceals easily. For anyone considering a good concealed carry pistol I highly recommend this one. It has more features than any other pistol in it's cla*s. I really like the chambered round indicator and the light rail on it.

I will soon begin a federal law enforcement job and I will be authorized to carry a concealed firearm anywhere in the US. I would like some good tips/ suggestions on a firearm that is small and convient to carry, but that still packs good stopping power. I know that if it's too big that I would'nt carry it all the time due to the inconvience. Also info on any convient carrying tips that folks use, such as a ankle holster, waist band holster, or anything else would be nice to know about. Any other related info, such as good ammo for it would be appreciated as well. So far I'm considering these pistols; A .45 Glock 36; A baby glock 26; A 10mm Glock 29; A .357 Glock 33; NAA's Guardian .25; (thanks to Armyofones suggestion) www.naaminis.com/25NAA.html I have never fired any of these eand certainly would test fire one several times before I purchase one. I've never shot or owned a compact pistol so any advice or information is appreciated!

www.pathguy.com/~tdemark/0050.htmAbove is a link to a picture of a severe knife wound. It's a good reminder of how dangerous bladed weapons can be. Ya'll be careful out there and avoid street confrontations when possible!

Great video clip. That is the type of mysticism that does no good for the martial arts, yet so many want to believe in it.

Excellent post stanimal. That type of realistic resistance in training really opens eyes. I'm glad to hear about yours.
A good drill that I often run when training police officers is one I call "cops". You have 1 training partner play the "cop" with a duty belt on, including real cuffs and a training pistol. The other partner plays the "suspect". As the cop begins cuffing the suspect, or anytime during the simulation, the suspect begins resisting. The suspect has on NHB gloves, elbow pads, knee pads, and shin guards, and can fully resist with strikes and simulations of bites and eye gouges. The "cop" has to apprehend the suspect without causing injury and finish by cuffing him. At any time that there is no submission being applied to the suspect, then the suspect continues to fully resist. the cop has to combine clear verbal directions with his submissions and pain compliance to move the suspect closer and closer to being cuffed. The drill is over with the suspect is cuffed or the cop loses to a submission, strikes, simulated gunfire, or gets cuffed himself (which is always a fun goal of the suspect training partner).
This type of drilling really helps cops to improve not only their necessary grappling skills for apprehending resisting suspects, but also their verbal direction skills to be used with pain compliance. In the end it cuts down on both officer and suspect injuries. Similar drills for prison guards are also very helpful.

Boyd,
That dog training looks great. I am interested in getting one and getting it trained myself. Especially for protection for my wife while she's home alone and I'm working.
Also, can you post some pics of that knife you mentioned?

Great post... with alot of info. I have wanted to be able to carry a mini gun for years, but gun laws in my state dont allow it. I actually have a derringer 22, but it's really just for my collection. I'd love to be able to carry a NAA .25 caliber, for the exact reason you mentioned of it being something I would actually carry.

Nice stanimal. Are you in law enforcement? If so, do you carry off duty as well?

Wow, interesting law. So you could strap a pistol on your hip in plain view... ala the old west, and that would be perfectly legal even without a permit?

Depending on where I'm going and what time it is, I sometimes carry a fold out knife. The model I usually carry is a "Kershaw Vapor 2- designed by Ken Onion". It's a very quick thumb knob opening blade with about a 3 and 1/2 inch blade that is half serated. I've never had to use it to defend myself, and certainly wouldn't unless I had to. One time I had it on me and had to defend myself against 2 attackers, but luckily I didnt have to pull it out. However it gives a good sence of protection knowing it's there if needed. I have my wife carry pepper spray with her. It's on her key ring so that she always has it in her hands when going to or from the car or house. So what do you carry and why?

This is a great example of someone who has been "doing" non-realistic martial arts for his whole life. He has convinced himself (or at least his students) of the mysterious and magical powers of martial arts, and obviously had avoided the route of simply actually sparring in all ranges of combat against resisting opponents. This could be is a great wakeup call for him. I doubt he will actually learn from the experience and begin realistic training though... I bet his ego can't take it. www.youtube.com/v/QucOnlQW2nQ

www.youtube.com/v/mZy8tTznLDAMan Given 26 Years For Killing Neighbor During Robbery Try D.C. Slaying Caught on Security Video By Henri E. Cauvin Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, November 16, 2005; Page B02 A 19-year-old Northwest Washington man was sentenced yesterday to a 26-year prison term for killing a neighbor last summer in an attempted robbery that was captured on a security videotape. The sentence was too little for Cervando Hernandez's family and friends, who wanted nothing less than the death penalty for the killer, Malcolm Pearsall, even though that was not a possibility in D.C. Superior Court. And it appeared to be too much for Pearsall's family members, whose eyes welled up with tears after the judge handed down the term. "I'm sorry," a relative of Pearsall's told Hernandez's cousin, Marco Villa, when the families came face to face outside the courtroom. "It should not have happened." Hernandez, 22, an immigrant from Mexico, had been out with friends for a night of revelry that ended early on July 23. After arriving at his apartment building, in the 2800 block of 15th Street NW, Hernandez and three other men -- Luis Zurita and brothers Pablo and Magaleno Huezo -- hung around for a bit in the lobby, chatting. Seen on the security video recording, which was played yesterday for Judge Robert I. Richter, the men looked happy and relaxed. Then Pearsall, who lived around the corner, entered the picture, having been let into the building by Hernandez in a fateful act of courtesy. Disappearing for a short time, Pearsall reemerged brandishing a gun and demanding the men's money. Magaleno Huezo tried to knock the gun from Pearsall's hand, which set off a furious struggle. In the midst of it, Hernandez, on the edge of the scrum, was shot in the head by Pearsall and killed instantly. The fight dragged on, a furious struggle for control of the gun. Huezo was shot in the abdomen and critically wounded. For weeks afterward, he remained at Howard University Hospital before being transferred to a rehabilitative hospital, where he was kept for two months. Finally breaking free of the fracas, Pearsall fled the building -- not knowing that his deadly attack had been recorded. Police quickly learned of the security camera system and distributed a clip of the attack, along with a description of the shirt Pearsall had been wearing. "I do all my own stunts," the shirt read. Pearsall soon was identified and was arrested two days after the killing. He pleaded guilty in August to charges of second-degree murder and aggravated a*sault. a*sistant U.S. Attorney Magdalena A. Bell said that Pearsall didn't need the money. His grandmother left him a refrigerator full of food and spending money. "Clearly, this was not a crime of necessity," Bell told Richter. "It was a crime of greed." When his turn came to speak, Pearsall asked to address Hernandez's relatives, who listened through an interpreter. "I just want to say that I apologize. . . . I never intended on taking anyone's life," he said. "I think about it every day, and I'm going to have to think about it for the rest of my life." Under the court's voluntary sentencing guidelines, Pearsall faced up to 36 years in prison on the two charges, and the government had sought the maximum penalty. Richter said that Pearsall's early plea and the fact that he did not set out that night to kill someone merited some consideration.
