I am considering starting a company that does training for people in real life situations with real guns (non lethal ammo obviously) which would put them in that stress situation, and training in that stress situation helps you train your fine motor skills, the same as a jet pilot training in a high stress situation.

AWESOME

You're forgetting the spare mag(s).
He could carry 2 spare mags. 3 bullets in the gun and 3 bullets in each spare mag. D'uh!!!

unless he only has 17 bullets.

BTW, how fast do you have to throw bullets to stop a threat?

That depends on how CRAZY you can look and sound while doing it.  Screech like an owl throwing bullets saying stuff like, "YOU AINT taking my ELM TREE, I Need my milk for LAWNMOWER!!"

Why has nobody asked how he can carry 9 rounds each in 2 pistols when he only has 17? 9x2=18 last i checked.

Oh, he has 17 bullets. Then that's easy... 1 in the chamber and 1 in the pocket and 5 in each of the 3 mag.

This thread is full of some very serious fail. Get out there and buy some ammo... Online is best as you can buy 50 round boxes of SD ammo for about what you pay in the store for 25 shipping included.

I have never heard of anyone who cannot afford ammo... Sell something else... Put off buying something else. Use a written budget to find savings that you can spend on ammo.. Jeez!

And yet you have enough to take a friend out shooting?

Go buy just simple RB ammo, just so you have some to carry.

How do you practice and stay proficient if you can't even buy a single box of ammo?

It sounds like you have an external locus of control. That may be something to work on?

I would say it is somewhere in the middle. For example, outside of proper maintenence there is no way to prevent mechanical failures. Well. I could buy new equipment every 2 years like some, but i dont have the customer base to support that.

I have owned a lawn business... Which is what I assume you have... I never had new equipment as I purchased used and flipped it every year working my way into newer and better equipment each time. I was however able to work on the equipment myself and maintain it myself which saved money.

As for theft... My brother and I cable locked everything to the trailer to prevent casual theft while we were out of sight of the rig. And it was stored in a locked barn at night.

Most things are preventable if the proper care is taken.

It is now official - Stainless 1911 has been replaced by bird(d)seed(d)!
I would call him retarded but, that would be a slight against those who simply cannot  help being mentally handicapped, vs one who chooses to be so. Feed him at your own risk.

He clearly posts here to get attention. Deny him that and he will dry up and blow away like a tumbleweed in the wind. 8)

Or we can ban him (like we did) -- for one day.

Bans don't work. Ask one of our Senior posters here about that. It is like fighting a hydra, cut off the head, and two rise up to replace it. Starvation is the best way to be rid of it. ;)

Was I harsh? Probably - so I will try not to get fed up with idiotic posts from him in the future.  I hope he realizes that everything posted here can, and will be, used against him when the inevitable "jam up" from a local PD finds him. Poke at even a "bull in the wrong" long enough, without proper resources to evade an attack, don't be shocked when you get a horn stuck in your backside. :o
