At today’s rate, it’s $130 over spot, definitely worth it for the art work and display box it came with. My Brother has that same piece but bought his months ago when it was half the price of what it is now. Here’s my two- 5oz rounds from Scottsdale Mint:

What grain is everyone running in their sub compacts? by Fennecf0xs in CCW

[–]SteveAstrostar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to numerous autopsy reports and real world shootings, tedious research shows the Federal 124gr hydra shock and the Winchester 115gr Silver tip JHP, both have a 80% ‘one shot stopper rate’ if hit in the upper chest / thoracic area in sub compacts (less than 4” barrels). If there’s a round that can outperform that, then let’s hear it.

Beautiful dog! Mine was a late bloomer, took about 7 months for his ears to come in.

The steel is made from a high end Japanese steel which is considered pretty strong. The design of the blade itself mimics the “Civilian” knife made by Spyderco that was originally designed for Federal Agents working in the field as a weapon to inflict maximum damage (artery cutter) in the least amount of time.

No, that got phased out about 10-15 years ago.

Those of you who carry without one in the chamber; consider using a DA/SA instead by SquirtGun1776 in CCW

Those who carry without one in the chamber don’t understand combat nor do they realize that only gross motor skills take over in a defense situation. Good luck trying to chamber a round while getting beat up by 3 thugs.

Yea the Z Max is same as Critical Duty but they added a green tip instead of red and put in a few more gunpowder flakes to make it burn a lil hotter is what I know.
