[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1258246, member: 3455"] Yes I do. From my experience, modern rimfire is very reliable. I just went through two bricks of Federal bulk in a week with one or two FTF. Realistically, how many people go through $500-$1000 worth of self-defence ammo even to make a statistical comparison possible? Anyhow, if you think centerfire is 100% reliable - just go to a range and look on the floor: there are plenty of duds there; bad guns? bad reloads? milsurp ammo? - I dunno, but it's there. When my life is on the line I will take any fraction in my favor. I'll take a hammer over a knife every time, and I'll take a gun over a hammer ... All things being equal: if you can draw a knife - you can draw a gun. Once the weapon is out, there is an obvious range and damage "edge" with a gun. How is "closing distance" a self defense? I do practice Mozambique drill - I firmly believe that a brain shot is the ONLY sure way to stop a human attacker. On the other hand, we have played with "charging attacker" simulation - and I can't even fire a single shot from "holstered" withing 15 yards, and 3 shots within 20 yards: from that I learned - if there is an armed attacker THAT close and charging, I will have to run away or charge forward and hope I brought that hammer :yikes2: ... just kidding, drawing while grappling is mofo for sure. From my studies and hunting experience (bow, muzzle loader, "big" and "small" caliber rifles and handguns) I have not seen the "vast improvement" unless we are talking about shouldered weapons. But I'm ready to learn! Again, I'm 100% agreeing that bigger is better - I just hate to see 22LR neglected :cry11: Good read: [url]http://www.firearmstactical.com/pdf/fbi-hwfe.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
