Even an Afghan insurgent is likely to have something like a chest bandolier - and punching through a rifle magazines before getting to the Bad Guy is a place where you really don't want JHPs.Geodkythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328915597574377444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-89716973914155369602014-07-16T16:06:18.321-04:002014-07-16T16:06:18.321-04:00I don't believe we're signatories to the H...I don't believe we're signatories to the Hague convention even if we abide by it.<br /><br />All we'd need do to "pull out" is to cease our voluntary compliance with it.Angus McThaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09295013525738248801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-73485038151205328212014-07-16T10:05:40.422-04:002014-07-16T10:05:40.422-04:00Every now and then, I think about replacing my car...Every now and then, I think about replacing my carry gun. I've been thinking lately about either the 38 super or a 40 Mag (10mm). <br /><br />If I could find a 39 Smith, a friend has a 38 super barrel for one. That would be a excellent carry gun.
