AFAIK they never passed the law banning them. I still have one on mine.
Funny mine did too back in January of this year.Unfortunately I lost all my firearms in a strange boating accident
I may pick up something to replace them.
I'm sure it was but it seemed like when he sent it back they never were able to fix it right. I always strip mine down too, heck my Scorpion I had apart the day I got it. I polished the feed ramp and I already had a new spring kit, trigger and a whole bunch of other stuff waiting. That's why I never went overboard modding my Ranger, I spent it all on guns, suppressors and ammo. lol
It is hammer fired. Internal hammer.
Gotcha!
Practice makes consistent. My Armorer friend told me once, all I need is a 7 round. 45s instead of a 15 round 9mm. He said if I can't hit the target in one round then I need practice.since i am Canadian eh? I don't have the liberties you guys south of the border do.
I'm not against carrying a weapon for protection, but to me there's a fine line on protection vs being the aggressor in a situation.
for example...if i had a nice setup like you guys around Toronto, and so did others (its obvious that 45% of Toronto residents carry a smuggled handgun)....it would likely be a daily occurrence to have shootouts on the 401 or Don Valley Parkway as road rage peaks during drive time.
It wouldn't be me popping the first shot as I have restraint for idiotic driving, but I would definitely return fire if my life was in danger.
So my question i guess is this....should i spend more time in the range, practicing accuracy so I only need one clip for the daily drive, or should I carry many clips and just randomly fire at will until the threat is extinguished?
I carry a .357 so only 6 rounds. They say most self defense firings happen at 7 ft. I'm pretty good at 7 ft. I practice at 7 yards an with a 2" barrel that's another story. Throw some panic an adrenaline in an who knows.
I carry a Glock 34 with extended magazines on duty. The total capacity of the gun as loaded is 21 rounds of 9mm. I was waiting in line to order a burger during lunch when a civilian asked me what was on my magazine. I explained to him it was a mag extension that took my as loaded capacity to 21 rounds. He then asked, "Why do you need 21 bullets loaded in your gun?" Without thinking, I answered, "In case I meet 21 bad guys that need shot." My boss was in line with me for lunch and wasn't thrilled with my answer.
The TV shoot outs where the bad guys take cover an exchange fire look like they go through a lot of ammo. Don't know how often that situation actually happens. Around here the crime is low except for the drug dealing areas an public housing areas an shooting are rare. I'd bet most officers rarely even pull their weapon from the holster. The Chief hangs out in my favorite sports bar I'll have to ask him about it. He's chief in the city with the drug an housing areas. The bar in in a city where Andy could be chief without a gun.
One of my co-workers (now retired) got in a shootout with a wanted person. The perp fired the first round, from a .45 Glock. It hit my coworker in the face, traced around his cheek bone and skull, and exited out his neck. The second and third rounds hit his vest. The fourth round, ironically the one that gives him the most trouble, hit him in the leg. He suffers nerve issues/pain from that one still. His return fire hit the upstanding citizen several times, knocking him down. The guy kept firing from the seated position until the last round entered his face approximately where his upper lip was. You can imagine where it ended up.
The opinion of the M.E. was one of the rounds that hit the perps chest was absolutely and massively fatal. The guy was still working with an exploded heart for a second before the last round ended up in his brain.
