  7. Can civilians purchase "LE" ammo?

    in Guns and Ammo, etc. - guns, tasers, even lasers...all self defense weapons discussed here

    Posted

    I recommend buying what the police use in their firearms. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for you and me.

    I can't imagine any but the most retarded gun banning states not allowing personal defense ammunition (which is pretty much what LE ammo is).

    I disagree with the first part of this. Police departments have more to take into consideration when choosing their ammo than most think. They are more likely to have to use their firearms and use them in a more difficult situation than your every day Joe. With that in mind, just because it's good enough for them and fits their budget doesn't mean it's good enough for everyone else. In my area the cops use Speer Gold-dots. Not a bad round but not good enough for me. In all my 9mm's I carry Winchester Ranger SXT's (aka Black Talon's) either in 127gr +P+ or 147gr depending on which gun it's in. In my .45's I prefer Hornady XTP TAP FPD. I chose those particular rounds after doing my own tests with them along with researching them on the web.

    SIGH..

    This is probably some of the most shallow minded stuff I've read in this section. ok where to even begin...

    first off, what born again said, is correct. Using what the LEO's use is a great option. There is alot of testing that goes into ammunition that an agency chooses. In the first part of your reply you even state they "are more likely to have to use their firearms and use them in a more difficult situation than your every day Joe". So if its a more difficult situation how is that not good enough for a civillian? over penetration is just as bad for an officer as a civillian so that arguement holds no water lol

    Second, The GD round is one of the most widely used in the nation in law enforcement applications. The bonded bullet makes it far superior in holding together and retaining its weight when fired through hard objects and clothing than any normal jacketed HP (if you think you're going to get a straight on unobstructed shot to a mans torso in the majority of situations, you've got another thing coming.)

    Third, What makes the bullet not "good enough" for you? I can tell you with first hand experience on numerous occasions how well this round works on humans.

    fourth, you can't argue the fact that cost matters when departments factor in cost when picking rounds as all premium defense rounds are identical in pricing all things considered give or take a few pennies. which is worth more to the agency than opening themselves up to liability for using subpar ammunition.

    Lastly, SXT's are NOT in anyway shape or form the same as the real black talons, which are not manufactured and have not been for a while. what is your reasoning for using a +p+ round when a standard pressure 147gr or just +p 124 will suffice, you're only gaining 50-100fps out of a short barrel and causing much more wear and tear on your firearm, and slower follow-up.

    I'm not saying to go buy speer GD and nothing else ever, im just saying don't be so close minded when it comes to these things. Also, if you dont mind me asking, what does your "testing" consist of, any proof that the GD didn't pass your tests?

    ok im done, that was probably longer than it was worth but oh well..didn't want the OP to miss out on more options

    I guess I’ll just respond to this by going right down the line. I never said using what LEO’s use is a bad option. I agree with you that it is a good option especially if you ever have to use it and end up in court. Where I don’t agree is with Born_Again saying that “if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for YOU and me.” That’s his opinion however I disagree with it. There is not a single ammo out there that will function flawlessly in EVERY gun nor be perfect for every situation.

    What I was referring to with the situations cops is there is in a sense more liability factors they have to look at because if something goes wrong it’s not just on one individual, it’s on the entire department at the least.

    Asking what makes a bullet not good enough for me would be like me asking why isn’t a Boss Audio or some other no name swap meet sub not good enough for you. Everyone has their preferences.

    If you’re dealing with a small department sure that few extra pennies might not matter but when you’re talking a large metro department that goes through a lot more ammo in training, practicing, etc it does make a difference and does get factored in.

    As for the SXT’s “NOT in anyway shape or form the same as the real black talons” where do you get your info? I have real Black Talon’s also and have shot them side by side with the Rangers and they are essentially the same thing (SXT actually stands for Same eXact Thing). Rangers have a nickel plated brass case where as BT’s had a brass or black casing depending on when they were manufactured and Rangers don’t have the “Lubalox” lubricant painted on them giving them the black color which Winchester reports was a bad idea anyway as it inhibited the performance of the BT’s

    As for my choice of pressure and weight it has to do with what my guns function best with. I run the 127gr +p+ in my Glock 26 because the extra fps helps out of the shorter barrel. I’m not concerned about wear because I’m not running a stock barrel in that gun anyway so it’s not an issue and my follow up speed is more than adequate.

    I really don’t get how you can say I’m the one being close minded because I disagreed with a close minded statement saying because it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for everyone.

    My testing consisted of firing different rounds from different guns using ballistic jelly as well as just normal target shooting testing reliability in MY firearms. I tracked my results and compared them to other results I found on the internet (mainly using ones with video and/or picture evidence) and made my decision from that. This is something I did over a 2 year period so it’s not like I just went out one day, did some shooting, compared what I came up with with some guy on the internet and made a decision. I take protecting my family, friends, and my own life very seriously so I feel it’s worth putting the time and effort into figuring out what works best for ME and at the same time enjoy doing it.

    See had you added some of the above in your original post I would have let it be. Also, as long as you know the difference between the old "Black talons" and SXT's thats fine. You're original statement made it seem like you were using them interchangeably when really they are not the exact same thing due to the coating, cases and from what I've seen the projectile from the black talons more closely resembels the T-series, are you referring to the Ranger T-series (RA9T)?

    Either way, those are your opinions, I just wanted to throw more into the mix for the OP.

    Ultimately Any of the ones listed will suffice for use. What's better is subjective

  11. AR 15 trigger question

    in Guns and Ammo, etc. - guns, tasers, even lasers...all self defense weapons discussed here

    Posted · Edited by focalrock4life

    Oh ok then... I want the 3.5-4.5lb grouping

    Well, I'm going to Suggest Geissele. in your range they have a variety of options. on the lower 3.5lb weight you're looking at the S3G trigger or SSA-E. for the higher end weight you're looking at the standard SSA, which in all honesty is probably your best bet for general application use. If you want more precise trigger control, the SSA-E would be a better fit.

    you're going to pay for the above, but to me, they are worth it. the ssa runs about 170 online and the S3G can go as high a mid 200's.

    oh and the geissele, comes already pre assembled with the disconector and disconnector spring in place with a slave pin. So its just a matter of punching out two pins with a 5/32 punch and then re installing. It comes with a nice vial of Aeroshell #6 grease and detailed instructions if you're not super comfortable.

    yeaaa, IDK about this product. its a great idea but has a waaays to go before being useful IMO. These type of taser's are more pain compliance than a immobilization device, like the ones with probes. Immobilization is what you want in these situations, a pin prick of pain is going to piss an attacker off and its very easy to snatch a phone out of someones hand, especially a females. Pain compliance is exactly what it sounds like, and I use it more to get someone to do something, say someone who wont take there hands out from underneath them while im trying to handcuff them on the ground, they will get drive stunned and that pain will cause them to comply with what I want, their hands. An immobilization device such as the tasers with the probes, will end the attack instantly, end of story, with no chance of the attacker.

    its not like in the movies when a girl tases a guy with one of these arcing type tasers and he drops to the ground unconscious lol. as soon as the taser breaks contact with the skin, the effects are over.

    I would steer away from this product as it is not worth its price, IMO.

  16. gonna buy a new hand gun need some ideas!

    You know I'm gonna be the devils advocate here. But youre buying all these shtf guns and whatnot. How much training do you have to use these effectively? I know everyone thinks its sooo easy to shoot someone or how they are going to act under that intense acute stress. Have you looked into becoming proficient with these weapons? Also, if you have to buy another handgun (for whatever reason since you already have a couple) id buy a glock 17 9mm. Ammo is cheaper, lighter, and if you do your part is just as effective. People are always like, "oh the 9mm is a pussy round" to which i reply, stand right there and let me shoot you im the chest with this pissy round. Suddenly its not so pussy..

    I have alot of training with pistols and self defense using these, Ive done 3 gun for 4-5 years I shoot 2-3 times a month to keep up on all my skills. i have shot handguns and rifles for 15+ years been around it all my life pretty much

    So, you're telling me that in your "15 years" of handgun and rifle experience and 4-5 years shooting 3gun, you've never handled a glock or know if there are any aftermarket barrels for them? C'mon now. I know that in that amount of time shooting 3gun you've ran into someone with aftermarket barrels on thier glocks or atleast been around one that a fellow competitior would let you shoot. Also, the fact that you wanted a 454 casul for a SHTF gun is raising some suspiscion as far as your experince goes. lol

    but hey more power to ya, I gave you my opinion and so have a bunch of other people here. In the end, it doesnt matter if 100% of the people here tell you that the glock 21 is a better gun as you may hold the 17 and find it superior for you. thats what matters. I always find it funny when people ask if they should buy a certain gun based on others opinions instead of just going to shoot the damn thing themselves.

    Anyways, I'm just busting your balls on some things that stood out to me. Nothing personal

    How do you like the Grip Pod vertical grip setups??? Do they provide a stable Bipod platform??

    My sgt has one on his AR and I've shot it. yes it does work for general use and gives a solid platform. However, its pretty bulky and I don't see the need for a bipod on a fighting carbine. If you're going to put in on a dedicated varminter style rifle fine, but if that's its purpose is just get a dedicated bipod.
