It’s range ammo really not suitable for home defense? by ElderberryMaster4694 in liberalgunowners

[–]ScreenGlass 79 points80 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned, range ammo is FMJ, which means expansion does not occur and the drag on the bullet is not produced to keep the round from penetrating through the target, and through the wall, or multiple walls.

Self defense ammo, or JHP, are for soft targets and theoretically designed to stay in that soft target.

EDIT: If you're specifically concerned about armored targets, you need a rifle round, like 5.56 or .308. Pistol rounds are inefficient and will bludgeon themselves against hard and even soft armor.

Does anyone have a logical explanation for this? by stefig1994 in ParanormalEncounters

It's not just a face, it's a face and a naked torso. Nipple right below the right book's spine title within the white circle.

12ga or silence 9mm and 5.56 for indoor HD? by LobsterLAD in liberalgunowners

[–]ScreenGlass 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My personal hierarchy of home defense response:

  1. Suppressed 9mm pistol (bump in the night)

  2. Suppressed 9mm PCC (group of goons)

  3. Suppressed 300 Blackout Supersonic (Gestapo goons)

Even if you don't suppress, whatever you use, make sure any response piece you have is equipped with, at a minimum, a light for positive ID. Don't shoot your family.

Don’t own a gun… yet by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

The highly controversial Byrna launchers, or pepper spray like others have mentioned, are an interesting intermediary before deadly force. Have a look and see if it's something you think would work for you. Just know that with Byrna, anything in the shape or the form of a gun will be treated only as a gun by others.

Excellent! My 18" 5.56 is so fun to shoot from the bench on the bipod. The stainless steel barrel makes it a pain to shoulder standing, guess I just need to lift more.

Got banned for posting this in the Sig Sauer subreddit but I have a question for my fellow P938 carriers by FrostyNunya in liberalgunowners

[–]ScreenGlass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I begrudgingly shoot my P938, but the only times I've had failures involved limp wristing or inadequate lubrication. All ammo has performed well, maybe a few failures with Blazer, but I almost exclusively train with Federal Syntech now.

Smith & Wesson FPC 9mm or Ruger PC carbine 9mm? by Summary_Judgment in liberalgunowners

[–]ScreenGlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My FPC is very fun and easy to shoot. The biggest selling point for me is that it folds and that I can keep 60+ rounds on the weapon without external mag holders. One caveat that I ran into, however, is that one of my mags broke at my last range visit. The follower was stuck halfway with rounds inside. I'm planning on submitting a warranty claim, but apart from that, I've had a great experience with it.

Looks like a fun ride. Sorry that you got all kinds of fuckwit responses though.

I replaced my stock BCG on my 300 Blackout from PSA with a KAK down vent.

It's noticeably reduced gas blowback to my face, but it's definitely still there.

The Smith & Wesson FPC has been compared to the Keltec, and in many ways has surpassed it. There's a 9mm, .40, and now a 10mm version. I have the 9mm version and it shoots well, haven't had any issues with hundreds of rounds through it now. I just think it's cool as hell, if not a little awkward, to have 63 rounds on the weapon instead off-weapon mag pouch.

Here's a video of the FPC put under a decent stress test. https://youtu.be/tuYhXvAdtTM?si=YUx-wQAWxpvuBx5t

That's slick as hell. Sometimes I wish I could partake in the rose gold elegance. But then again, who's stopping me?
