    The phony-roni "virus" garbage is rolling out again (election year coming Terry)... that, along with the so-called "vaccines" (don't take them, it's like playing Russian-roulette)... and what are the FIVE best firearms for the times we're living in?

    The 6 Best Calibers for Home Defense to Stop The Threat

    The 6 Best Calibers for Home Defense to Stop The Threat
    When you need to defend your residence from home invaders, you need a round that's reliable, dependable, and will stop the threat as quickly as possible. Picking the best home defense caliber can be difficult with so many choices on the market. Sure a 22 LR will do the job if your shot placement is perfect, but it isn't really the best choice to stop the threat inside the home.
     
    In this podcast, Chris and Dave discuss the 6 best calibers for home defense and explain why they picked them. You'll learn about what is proven to work in a self-defense situation and what to look for in home defense ammo.

    February 27th, 2023... Wisdom of Tradition... Handgun Stopping Power Myths? (no!) ... Brainwashing and Racism (yeah..)...
    Are traditionally good options still good? What about the 30-06, the 270 Winchester... the 45 ACP and the 12 gauge? And, how are people being brainwashed to hate one-another--and who is doing it? We'll talk about this. We also go over the Taco-ria shooting... the Ruger 10/22, the very capable Mark 12 AR type rifle, and much more. We hope you'll tune in! :)

    Feb 13th, 2023... Psychology of mag capacity... Damar fake (still)... UFO? (not)... and the Ohio Train Wreck...
    How gullible would you like to be? We wear "tin foil hats" you might say... but even if we did, there would still be less aluminum in our hats than the vacks has put into your veins--so pray, rather than accuse. And did you hear about the toxic spill in East Palestine, Ohio? Perhaps you didn't, the cabal's news would rather you focus on the "UFOs" and "Damar"... and this: Look up the movie "White Noise"... it's about a toxic chemical spill from a derailed train in eastern Ohio. (Not. Even. Kidding.)... look it up... Terry! :D There is a lot of stuff you need to consider in this episode, so try not to miss it. :)

(Of course it is, and we'll offer some suggestions as to how to approach this difficult issue)... we hope you'll tune in! :)

    44 Magnum vs 45 ACP: Kings of Muzzle Energy

    44 Magnum vs 45 ACP: Kings of Muzzle Energy
    The 45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP) and 44 Magnum are two powerful handgun rounds that are rarely compared. Although the bullet that each cartridge fires is separated by only a few hundredths of an inch, the terminal ballistics of the 45 ACP and 44 Mag are considerably different from one another.
     
    This leads some new (and experienced) shooters to question if they need a higher pressure 44 Magnum revolver for self-defense or if the 45 ACP has enough stopping power to do the job.
     
    Most self-defense situations do not require the power that the 44 Mag provides. The potential for over penetration is simply too high as well as the potential liability issues as well. Furthermore, the recoil of the 44 Magnum makes it less appealing for concealed carry, and this is where the 45 ACP shines.
     
    However, the power the 44 Mag offers is excellent for big game hunting for animals like hogs and whitetail. The 45 ACP simply does not have enough kinetic energy to take these animals humanely where the 44 does.
     
    There's no denying that the 45 ACP and 44 Remington Magnum are amazing rounds when employed in the areas that they excel at.

    9mm vs 40 vs 45: The Handgun Trifecta

    9mm vs 40 vs 45: The Handgun Trifecta
    Deciding on the caliber of your self-defense or concealed carry handgun can be a challenging task if you haven’t done your research. Although there are many options on the market like 10mm Auto and 357 SIG, the three most popular pistol calibers are 9mm Luger, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP.
     
    It’s not an insignificant choice, as anyone purchasing a handgun wants the best caliber for personal defense since this is what most pistols and revolvers are used for.
     
    Sadly, there is a lot of misinformation about the effectiveness of handgun ammo that might sway a new gun owner into a caliber that they end up hating. This is where we come in!
     
    Let’s separate fact from fiction concerning stopping power for the Great Trifecta of self-defense handgun cartridges.
     
    Spoiler Alert: The ideal caliber is the one you shoot best. Therefore, when you are ready to drop your Benjamins on a new EDC handgun, whether it be a Glock 17, Springfield XD, Sig Sauer P226, or Colt 1911, you’ll be confident that you have the best self-defense sidearm on your hip.
     
    The question comes down to magazine capacity vs stopping power. Stopping power is a bit of a dirty word on the podcast as it is something that is completely unquantifiable. However, the bullet diameter of a 45 is significantly larger than a 40 than a 9mm. That being said, the person who brings the most bullets to the fight often wins a prolonged engagement.
     
    The 9mm also has the added bonus of having light recoil, which is a lot easier for small framed shooters to handle. This is one reason why so many law enforcement agencies are switching back to the 9mm from the 40 S&W.
     
    Your choice of personal defense handgun cartridge lies deeply in what you prefer and your abilities as a shooter. Many CCW permit holders prefer 9mm for the mag capacity and lower recoil in a subcompact, but there are others who have no problem carrying a 1911 on their hip all day. It all just depends on what you like to carry and what you are comfortable EDC'ing all day long.

    Sam Colt: The Forgotten History of America's Legendary Firearms Inventor and Manufacturer

    Sam Colt: The Forgotten History of America's Legendary Firearms Inventor and Manufacturer
    On today’s episode Dan and Sam discuss the legendary firearms inventor and manufacturer, Sam Colt. Known as the 'great equalizer,' Sam Colt's revolver handgun was revolutionary and in its wake it left a nation iconic for its gun ownership and firearm obsession. Eliminating the need to reload, Colt pistols forever changed the game. This is his forgotten story and how his legacy lives on to this day.
     
    Born on July 19, 1814, in Hartford, Connecticut, Samuel Colt played a vital role in American culture and folklore. The inventor and creator of the first handheld revolver, Sam Colt made it possible to have a handgun that could fire rapidly without needing to be reloaded after every shot. Known as the great equalizer, it’s been said that “Abe Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt made them equal.”
     
    Colt’s knack for inventing and his passion for firearms paved the way for the American fascination with guns. Some would argue that it’s because of Samuel Colt (and his shrewd business and advertising sense) that Colt became a household name, both during his lifetime and now, 200 years after his birth.
