  4. How do you choose caliber and your ammo for Self Defense Carry

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

    Posted · Edited by crazyeight

    When I determined my weapon and bullet of choice I looked at the following items:

    Bullet

    1. Human penetration depth.

    2. I also don't want it going through the walls too far. I would hate for it to go into my neighbors' homes.

    3. Noise. I don't want to loud of a bullet. "No .44 magnum"

    Gun

    1. Magazine capability. I want a decent amount of rounds just in case there are more than one intruder.

    2. Gun reliability.

    3. Sights. I prefer the ones you can see at night.

    4. Rail system for adding a laser and light combo.

    5. Must be small for easy maneuvering.

    What I have

    • The handguns I have are the Glock 21sf and a Glock 17 both feature Glock night sights.
    • I have a Glock light/laser combo that goes on the rail. Currently attached to my 21sf. The light is bright enough to blind the intruder and it gives me a way to aim quickly.
    • My bullets of choice are hollow point 9mm and .45. I use these due to their rapid expansion qualities.
    • I also have my Glock 17 setup for blanks. Just in case my daughter is grabbed. I will toss it to them and have my 21sf in my back pocket.
    • Both loaded guns are kept in a quick access safe. I just put my hand on the top of it and it opens up. This also keeps my daughter out.
    • Oh yeah I forgot one important thing, a dog. This can be your best home defense weapon if they are trained properly. I have trained my dog to sleep up stairs with my daughter. The dog will also let me know when someone is trying to get in and if they do I pitty them.
    • I also have an empty shotgun that sits next to my bed. How many intruders do you think will leave once they hear the pump shotgun loading?

    Another must thing for home protection is practice. I get my fiance to randomly try to get in the back door, with alarm active, and see how long it takes the dog and myself to respond. You be surprised how fast you get with lots of practice.

    I just read this post and said to myself I must be crazy. lol. I will tell you one thing though, I bet if someone tried to get into my house they are leaving in a black bag.

    I hope this helps you out LT Smoke.

    Hey guys i am currently living in Charleston, SC for school, but my home town is in MD! Bmore what up

    so I'm looking to get a new system and was wondering if you guys could recommend me to some good shops that know their stuff and do a fabulous job. I'm willing to drive far if i am guaranteed good results of course :)

    any thoughts?

    thanks

    Drive to Salisbury... I do and it is a 1.5 hour trip each way for me and well worth it.

    I own 2 of them and love em. I use it to power my daily system in my car, when I put it in. lol. These amps have a lot of adjust-ability on them unlike others. I have had one of them for about 11 years. I use this amp for local SPL comps when they have a 500 watt class.

    If you set the amp with a DD-1 you will be good to go. These amps are a lil pricey though.

    OK... Sooooo... I got my meter in, unboxed it and went to work testing this thing... I made a quick vid but realized that Steve's address and phone # where on the box so I will make a new vid without that info hopefully today.

    Regardless... I put it to work in a few cars.

    First up, I read the owners manual (I suggest this as it does clear up a few questions I have heard on this forum)

    Next I followed the instructions, found the output of her radio, then RE-TUNED her amplifier. I MUST say... the SMD DD1 performed very nicely. Her truck sounds amazing right now. I wanted to see what results if any would be reflected on the termlab so I popped it in the s10 for some comparisons (did some spl testing before retuning with the SMD DD1) The results surprised me. Her truck picked up .5dB!!! .5!!! Let me explain what that means... though you or I cannot HEAR the difference in .5dB... at the last show she would have gotten first place with that extra .5dB (she actually only lost by .2dB).

    Next up... Mike's Avalanche... spl testing done before setting up with the SMD DD1.

    Then max output of the radio along with a RETUNE of the amplifiers (mids/highs and sub amp) and gave it a quick listen then tested for spl... .6dB difference!!!!!! Not to mention his mids/highs are extremely loud at this point and sound absolutely amazing!

    Then I retuned my soundboard making it sing even sweeter now...

    I also retuned a couple of other simple setups and saw a few gains in spl (.3dB, .2dB, .3dB) but the biggest thing is how fast and easy it is to tune with the SMD DD1.

    Great product and I hope to get a few vids up with some testing... we will be using the SMD DD1 to RETUNE the Boswell's DDBEAST, can't wait to see what happens... :)

    Thanks again Steve.

    Damn that means I would have gotten 2nd. This alone has me sold on one. When I get paid on the 15th I will be ordering it. Great Test Ric!
