(Surprise NEW Answer from the FBI) Tactical and Preparedness Newsletter By: David Morris To read the online version of this email, share your thoughts, and interact with others, click >HERE< click.icptrack.com/icp/re...-for-defensive-pistols%2F If your hackles went up and you assumed a war footing when you read the subject line of this email, you're not alone. The debate between projectile sizes has been raging since Cain was deciding on whether to use a small rock or a big rock to kill Abel (if, in fact, he used a stone :) Sometimes it matters, and sometimes it doesn't, but in the instances where it matters, there aren't any do-overs. So, what's the answer? Former Force Recon Marine and creator of the 30-10 at-home pistol course, click.icptrack.com/icp/re...onsoft.com%2Fgo%2F3010p47 Chris Graham, shares a story in 30-10 from a US Navy SEAL friend of his, named "Monkey." Monkey was teaching a class of Federal Law Enforcement Agents and said that statistics prove out that the majority of people who are shot with a handgun (of ANY caliber) survive, but 100% of the people he had shot with a 9mm were dead. This just illustrates the fact that the question of which caliber is best is usually the wrong question. Your ability to quickly put high quality rounds on target has a much bigger impact on whether you are going to be able to stop a threat than the caliber of ammunition that you happen to be sending downrange. And that's exactly the conclusion that the FBI just came to. All pistol rounds suck, so go with the one that will allow you to practice the most and put the most accurate rounds on target in the shortest period of time. There IS a place for the 9 vs. 45 stopping power debate, but for most people, it is an extremely low leverage part of the defensive shooting equation. It's only when you've maxed out your ability as a shooter that caliber becomes an issue. Time and money spent developing, fine tuning, and sharpening your technique has a LOT more leverage than switching guns, triggers, springs, grips, or ammo. And that's why I want to encourage you to check out Chris' 30-10 at-home pistol training course by going >HERE< Chris isn't your average instructor. He provides advanced weapons and tactics training to personnel from USG (US Government) agencies prior to deployment to high-threat zones. More than that, he's one of a relatively small group of guys who actually goes downrange and provides sustainment training to them while they're in high threat zones. If you're an instructor, Chris is one of the guys who you want to be picking stuff up from to use in your own classes. If you're a shooter, Chris is an instructor who is teaching based on first hand experience downrange against determined attackers as well as constant feedback from his students. His teaching isn't stuff that worked 5, 10, or 15 years ago...it's stuff that he or his students have more than likely used in the last few months, weeks, or even days. I want to encourage you to learn more now by going >HERE< On the whole caliber thing, there ARE some calibers that are better than others. I would never suggest that someone carry a .25 or a .32, and there are very few people who I would suggest carry a .44 magnum unless you're in bear country. 99 times out of 100, your ability to put fast, accurate shots on target is going to be more of a factor of whether or not you can stop a threat than whether it's a 9, .38, .357, .40, .45, .22, etc. coming out the end of your barrel.
