And PLEASE, take all this "defensive S**T with a HUGE grain of sand.
Airborn_69 still just keeps posting cartoons and pictures he finds on the net... Nice. Way to bring something to the table.
don't discount any of the people in this thread, many of them have served their country and served in foriegn lands, from executive protection in the middle east to serving in bosnia during peace keeping missions, hell, get nestor to tell you some of his stories some time.
I am not going to post who has been where or done what, that is up to them to post..... but word to the wise, they have experience where the only thing TDC has done is take a total of ?what? 10 days of courses over a 2-3 year period.....
hell frankly I trust Nester the Nurse's opinion on weapons and tactics more then I would believe TDC's.... at least nester served his country and was an Arms instructor for Army.
you know I respect people that have served, TDC obviously does not have a clue who he is dissing here and they themselves do not care enough to enlighten him.... but even if they did do you think he would honestly change his tune or keep parroting what he remembers from his big training days... ???
ahhh! I remember now I had an even further past encounter about a pro Israel thread which I disagreed lots, I know now why 5Y has a hard on for me to because I don't support the jewish state which likely means he reads the old testament.
I thought it was the mtn/survival thread you seem to contradict my comments as soon as you saw me post something with actual experience. The good old chip on the shoulder hey gramps??
TDC, Pblatzzz & 5Y are debate monkeys...The mentally challenged, arabs & jews live to debate about nothing.
"The mentally challenged, arabs & jews live to debate about nothing."
WTF....
ah finally agreement after 240 posts.![]()
Well he is wrong, give me a large hunk of steel made in Isreal called a Desert Eagle if you want "one stop pistol whipping power".![]()
WOW, I just spent my entire lunch break reading this thread.
Conclusions: 1) TDC is indeed knowledgeable, if EXTREMELY
biased, at least in his own mind.
2) BELTFED presents facts.
3) WESTICLE is somewhat protective of IDPA.
4) YYYYY must be TDC's BFF, as my kids say
But, the most important thing I can take from this thread, is that the meat and potatoes of this discussion is OPINION.
Other then BELTFED providing FACTS, the rest of this thread is conjecture, at best.
My advice, (That and $1:75 will get you a cup of coffee at Timmie's) Fire as many handguns as you can, until you find one that is comfortable for WHATEVER your intended purpose is, and buy it, and shoot it a lot.
And PLEASE, take all this "defensive S**T with a HUGE grain of sand.
And that folks, is my 2 cents worth
