Statistics About Civilian Deadly Force Encounters

RealDefense

Interesting Analysis From Active Self Protection

I’ve watched about 5,000 gunfights at this point, and the patterns that emerge are pretty clear. Some thoughts you might want to consider that I don’t think that the training community really wants to hear:

1. Most gunfights aren’t entangled gunfights. Empty-handed skills are important, but very rare once the gun comes out. They’re necessary for LE more than CCW, by a long shot. For CCW, empty-handed skills are critical for the 80% of assaults that don’t rise to the level of deadly force response. So go to your martial arts training.

2. Reloads are almost vanishingly insignificant factors in gunfights. I have seen precisely 2 reloads in a real gunfight that weren’t on-duty LEO. And neither of those affected the outcome of the fight. I have seen about 7 or 8 where a higher capacity firearm or the presence of a reload might…

“Youth” Guns For Self-Defense

A fabulous rifle, in shorter “Youth” configuration. It is also a wonderful size for people 5′ 5″ or shorter, because I have seen many smaller people use youth rifles with deadly precision. For myself, at 6’0″, a reduced size rifle is like a handy carbine. There is no noticeable increase in recoil, nor any muzzle flip beyond normal. The caliber of .30-30, is a sweetheart and has put plenty of meat on tables, including my own table. Self defense, it is an excellent choice. Hunting, a superb choice up to 200 yards, anything beyond that is possible, but I would hold the range slight of where a shooter’s proficiency is. Whitetail and black bear, no problem. Hogs, too. My own preference is the .45-70 caliber, but a .30-30, I put plenty of lead out of the barrel over the years, and never lost my love of the caliber or the 336. In a youth model, it should build pride for the up-and-coming shooter, who carries what their father or grandfather is carrying. Women, are a natural with the 336 and caliber.
There is only one thing that I would do, and will be doing this year as I am reunited with a 336 that I sold a few decades ago and my cousin no longer desires any gun and wants to return it to me, the original owner, and that is, the walnut stock, I personally take the time to disassemble and give a couple coats of Watco Dark Danish Oil, and buff it out by hand, for a soft but resilient darkened finish. Like my Model-70, people are spellbound when they see the finish. Just be careful because boiled linseed oil (BLO) is in that finish and self-combustion is an issue.

Welcome To The Resistance!

John over at the Civilian Gunfighter blog brings up some really good points on this topic (link).

John’s Marlin 336Y

“Youth” models of shotguns and rifles like John’s Marlin 336Y offer a reduced length of pull and shorter barrel lengths making them lighter and more easily handled in tight situations. From that perspective there is a good argument for using them for self-defense. I have often thought about picking up a rifle just like the author’s to use when stalk hunting through thick brush.

On the other hand, the shorter barrels and lighter weight can often result in increased muzzle blast and recoil. These are less than conducive to effective use in self-defense situations.

Standard AR-15s offer similar advantages in terms of weight and length without the trade-off in recoil but muzzle blast will still be a downside.

So, what are your thoughts on youth models for self-defense?

Living Off The Land: Reality Check

Welcome To The Resistance!

I can’t count the number of times I have heard someone say that they don’t need to worry about storing food because they will “live off the land.” A lot of the time I hear this from guys who spend thousands of dollars per year on gear, a lease, food plots, feed, and fuel in order to bag a couple of deer each season; maybe a couple hundred pounds of meat. Which they field dress (maybe) and then take to a butcher or “processor” to be turned into usable food products.

Small game such as squirrel and rabbit seem to be a staple fall back position for some. I bet they haven’t stopped to consider how many calories are to be had from squirrels (about 130-135) or rabbits (around 800). I doubt many have calculated how many of them it would take to provide enough daily calories for a highly active individual, like…

Rice as emergency food.

Additional survival tricks

Rice takes up not much storage space. 5kg of rice is just a small bag. The bag can provide energy (carbohydrate) food to a 60kg person for about one week. The food still needs to be supplemented with protein food (meat, for muscles building) from other sources.

1.00Kg of raw rice turns into 2.56kg of cooked rice. That is the raw rice has only about one third of the weight of of the cooked meal.  It is easy to carry. All you need to turn any raw rice into cooked rice is just clear, fresh water and fuel to boil it for about 20 minutes (or 10 minutes using a pressure cooker).

Asian armies have been using rice as their transportable energy food since ancient time to present time. Those army people eat rice supplemented with locally picked vegetables and freshly caught fish or shrimps or meat as their sustainable full…

Sig MCX Mandatory Carriage Assembly Replacement Program.

Sig Legion Club

So Sig is conducting a mandatory replacement of the carriage assembly in SIG MCX rifles.

SIG has found through extensive factory testing that in extremely rare instances, not reported in the field and extremely difficult to replicate, a condition may exist causing an unintended discharge.

Sig advises to stop using the MCX immediately, register your firearm on their website if you haven’t already done so, then initiate the process and view a video explaining how to change out your carriage assembly.

I tried calling Sig this afternoon and wasn’t able to get through to a representative after being on hold for 20 minutes.

SIG will send you a prepaid box to return your complete carriage assembly to the factory. A new assembly, designed with the firing pin locking mechanism, will be shipped out to you within 5-7 working days of the receipt of your parts at no cost to you.

ctMake it Happen Team

Many people continue to blame their anger on President Donald J. Trump.  People are just angry because of who they are and how they personally feel about themselves.

It is amazing that self-help teaches about surrounding yourself with successful people, the point is successful people know how to make it work.  Americans have been struggling for the last eight years and don’t realize they have been under siege mentally.  Successful people like WINNING.  Our new President-elect is not just successful, he’s a business man and America is a business that should be ran by a business person.

It’s time for you whining people to sit down, shut up and let’s see what happens.  Your solutions have not worked.  You have SERVED.

Valley Forge “Feet & legs froze till they became black … often necessary to amputate them.”

PUMABydesign001's Blog

American Minuteby William Federer

Washington lost the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777, and was force to retreat toward Philadelphia.

British General Burgoyne’s troops marched down from Canada through New York, but were amazingly forced to surrender to the Americans at the Battle of Saratoga, October 7, 1777.

British General Howe struck back in a fury, driving the patriots out of Philadelphia–America’s largest city and busiest port.

Philadelphia was effectively the capitol of the United States. In European warfare, when an army captured it enemy’s capitol, the war was considered over.

Rather than surrender, the Continental Congress quickly evacuated Philadelphia.

They even took the down the Liberty Bell and carried it with them so the British could not melt it into musket balls.


Congress’ last order, December 12, 1776, was:

“… until Congress shall otherwise order, General Washington shall be possessed of full power to order

The Last Savage

The Alternate Reality

I should qualify the title. The pistol of which I write is the last production variation of the Savage Model 1907 pistol in .32 ACP. The Savage 1910 and 1917 were still in production until the middle 1920s or so and Savage continues to build rifles to this day. Savage made the Model 101, a single shot .22 pistol made to look like a single action revolver for about 10 years in the 1960s. They also made a Model 502 Striker pistol, which is a pistol length bolt action single shot in choice of .22 long rifle, .22 WRM or .17 rimfire something. It was a fairly recent arm, but is not on the Savage Arms site, so I presume it is no longer in production. (I don’t follow ‘new’ guns much.)

However, the Savage model 1907. variant 19, modification 2 was the last of the models 1907. According to…

Three “Friends” Hit The Range

Midwestern Ramblings


Today provided the opportunity for three friends of mine to leave the safe and hit the range. My first friend has been with me since 2006, my Kimber Custom Target. The other two are fairly new to me, my XD Mod.2 Tactical and my “yet to be shot by me” FNP-45. While the main purpose of today’s trip was to see how the FNP-45 would perform on its initial voyage to the range, I had a lot of fun with the others as well.

First, the FNP-45. This pistol handles nicely and I will say the lightweight polymer frame does translate into a little more felt recoil than with my 1911s, although it’s not objectionable. I shot both factory Sellier & Bellot 230 gr FMJ and some of my own 200 gr SWC loads. The S&B loads had a lot more “punch”, which resulted in the FNP felling a little…

Self-Defense: Front Kick to the Groin…

Trigger Reset

TriggerReset.net Wants You to be Safe…

What You Should Know:

  • This kick is simple, and can cause an attacker great pain and injury…
  • It works on male and female attackers…
  • It’s a fast attack, and difficult to stop…
  • It may take a few seconds for the pain to register, so this is a kick that opens the attacker up for another strike or kick…
  • Watch the videos, and practice. It takes about 2,000 – 3,000 repetitions to instill “muscle memory” so that the movement is automatic. If you train twice a week for twenty minutes and do 20 of these kicks each session, in twelve months you will have done over 2000 repetitions…
  • When you train, don’t over-extend your knee joint…

Another look. If you develop the power this gentleman has, you WILL get a reaction from an attacker…

The Swamp Bed — The Alpha Survivalist

Raised beds are useful for cold survival situations where they keep you off the cold ground and the heat from your fire can radiate up from underneath you. A swamp bed is slightly different because it is useful in wet, humid environments where it may not be very cold, but moisture can still tap the […]

Silencer Shop Authority: CGS Hydra-AL Review — Modern Rifleman

A New Wildcat may be around the United States — GLOBAL MEDIA SENTRY

Jaguars – spotted, stocky and stealthy – once roamed freely throughout the wilds of the Western United States. But like many species before them, the big cat’s resident population in America was hunted to death. For several decades, there have been only occasional sightings of jaguars near the Mexico border. So it was with great […]

Check You Bags And Your Gear Regularly

Welcome To The Resistance!

Over the last few years I have developed a habit of replacing the batteries in equipment like smoke detectors, flashlights and optics every January. Fresh batteries every year is a small cost to ensure that equipment that I am literally betting my life on will work when I need them to.

I used to be pretty good about inspecting the contents of my get home bag and my EDC (every day carry) bag regularly as well. Since I started working from home I don’t go nearly as often or for as long. As a result I have gotten a little lazy about inspecting these of late.

Over the last few weeks this laziness has bitten me on my proverbial rear end on couple of occasions.

For example, I keep a few supplies for making simple repairs in my EDC bag. It’s not a full toolkit or anything just a multi-tool, a…

What Did You Prep This Week?

Welcome To The Resistance!

This was another light week for us.

We bought more batteries; 9 volt batteries for the smoke detectors, CR123 batteries for weapon mounted lights and flashlights in our go bags and CR2032 batteries for our optics mounted on self-defense firearms. I try and replace the batteries in all devices we might be betting our lives on every January.

Battery Bonanza! Battery Bonanza!

Since I stocked up on ammo last week we bought primers for reloading this week; 100 each of Small Pistol, Small Rifle and Large Rifle.

I also have a batch of 100 .38 Special practice rounds that I am in the process of reloading. All I have left to do it add the powder and seat the bullets. Hopefully, I will finish those up next week.

I bought some power bars to replace the outdated granola bars in both my get home bag and my EDC bag.

That’s it for me. That’s…

XD-9 Mod.2 Tactical:  The Humble Marksman?

Midwestern Ramblings

Today’s market is flooded with striker-fired polymer pistols. In fact, I just read a review of a new offering by CZ where the author claimed it to be a “problem solver” for the handgun market. That comment left me perplexed, as I wondered “what problem is this new pistol solving?” Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not bashing CZ products or predicting they aren’t going to bring a wonderful pistol to the shooting public. However, when thinking about what is unique about it, I’m left blank. When Springfield announced their Mod.2 revision of the XD platform earlier this year, I had a similar reaction: ”Yawn… an XD with a recontoured slide and grip with some no-snag sights.” That is, until I starting thinking further.

Years ago, I purchased a gently-used stainless XD-40 service model at a pawn shop. I was looking for something in .40 as an alternative to a…
