Of course, there’s also every opinion in between.  When we take a logical look at what caliber we should carry for defensive purposes we can start to get to the bottom of this complex question. Today let’s talk about caliber for your concealed carry handgun and your home defense handguns. Admin: Sponsor of the Day: Dale Fricke Holsters Second Amendment Foundation NRA Join your state organization (e-mail me a link to your org and I will list them here) Buckeye Firearms Association Ohioans for Concealed Carry Virginia Citizens Defense League What is the Best Concealed Carry Handgun Caliber It helps us to understand how it is that ammunition works to physiologically stop our threat.  Grant Cunningham has an extensive set of posts that talks about this topic that you can read here. It really boils down to two things bullets need to do: The bullets need to penetrate deep enough into the body to get to something the body finds important to survival The bullets need to do damage when they get to those important parts. Many people fail to consider the multidimensional approach we need to take to achieve these two goals as efficiently as possible. Much of the debate that surrounds caliber selection is ill logical and frustrating to me. People base their choices on a single attribute of ammunition or maybe worse what their uncle who was in the war thinks or what their local police department carries.  While your favorite uncle might have some valid experience from combat and your local PD certainly should have valid reasons for the round selection they have made. We must understand that our context as a concealed carry holder is different than the military and law enforcement aspect would lead us to believe. Unlike the military or the police, The law abiding citizen. Typically carries a firearm concealed. This means that a balance must be struck between the ability to conceal and recoil management of the handgun and we talked about this in detail in episode 331. In addition when it comes to law-enforcement it must be taken into consideration that the context of police work is different than that of concealed carry.  For example, LE officers have a much higher likelihood for the need to shoot through intermediate barriers. Although certainly a possibility, this is not typical for those involved in concealed carry.  Shooting through intermediate barriers can have a profound effect on terminal ballistics.  For this reason we can’t simply assume that what our local PD carries is what we should carry. The military comparison doesn’t work well either. Those that carry handgun in the military are typically required to carry full metal jacket ammunition.  On the contrary, if you carry concealed, you should be looking for modern bonded hollow point bullets. The terminal performance of full metal jacket compared to modern bonded hollow points is like night and day.   Expansion is the big difference.  This means that military personnel may have some very valid reasons for carrying a caliber your average citizen might want to avoid.  Remember when selecting the best concealed carry ammunition bonded hollow points are better than full metal jacketed rounds regardless of caliber. Instead of looking at a single area of performance the savvy defensive shooter will seek to balance out a group of characteristics to achieve the most efficient results. The information I am presenting today is similar in many ways to the concepts that are being taught by Defensive Firearms Coaches around the country.  You can find these instructors by taking a look at Combat Focus Shooting or doing a quick search for Intro[...] CCW, Firearms, Podcast Paul Carlson no no http://www.safetysolutionsacademy.com/0332-what-is-the-best-concealed-carry-handgun-caliber/http://www.safetysolutionsacademy.com/podpress_trac/feed/1426/0/0332TheBestConcealedCarryHandgunCaliber.mp3 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ssa_podcast/~3/v4P0hZRekW8/ http://www.safetysolutionsacademy.com/daniel-shaw-of-gunfighter-cast-debuts-paratus-academys-handgun-vitals-1-with-ssa/#comments Mon, 20 May 2013 01:01:37 +0000 PaulCarlson http://www.safetysolutionsacademy.com/?p=1417 I am excited to announce that on June 30, 2013 Daniel Shaw will teach his first handgun course as a civilian in Garrettsville, Ohio as part of a two day Course with Safety Solutions Academy.

We know that handguns have some advantages over other firearms because of their size, their portability, their capacity, and the ability of the shooter to manage recoil. These advantages apply to handguns as home defense tools as we discussed in episode 0330 but the advantages of the handgun can be even more important when we discuss Concealed Carry Handguns. Today we are going to take a look at selecting the best defensive handgun for concealed carry. Admin: Sponsor of the Day: Blue Sheepdog Second Amendment Foundation NRA Join your state organization (e-mail me a link to your org and I will list them here) Buckeye Firearms Association Ohioans for Concealed Carry Virginia Citizens Defense League Selecting the Best Concealed Handgun First of all remember that when we’re talking about the defensive use of firearms we are talking about a high-stakes, life or death situation. It is because of this we cannot afford to make compromises. That is why we are discussing the attributes of the BEST Concealed Carry Handgun today. We can’t afford to settle for average. Many aspects of violence are out of our control. There is no reason not to prepare ourselves ahead of time by having the best tools available to us. Don’t skimp on your Defensive handgun. Next, whenever we’re talking about home defense handguns or concealed carry handguns we need to make our selection based on reliability and efficiency. Defensive Firearms need to work and they need to work well in the way that our body operates naturally. When we talked about the best home defense handgun our discussion focused on the balance between power and recoil management. When we are looking to balance the traits of the best concealed carry handgun the two traits we need to consider are the ability to conceal the handgun and our ability to mange recoil. Lets start out by talking about concealment: Many people tip the scale toward handguns that are easy to conceal. It is easy to understand why: Handguns can be inconvenient to carry 1. heavy 2. large 3. uncomfortable 4. difficult to conceal So people naturally select handguns that make concealment easier. These handguns tend to be light weight, small, more comfortable to deal with and ultimately easier to conceal. Manufacturers have done a great job in introducing firearms to the market that people want to carry. The Ruger LCP, the Beretta Nano and now Pico are great examples of small firearms that people might choose for concealed carry. These guns are smaller, they are lighter, they are easier to conceal and in many ways they are more comfortable, however, when we are dealing with trying to find the best concealed carry handgun. We have to remember that it’s a balance. Yes, you actually need to be able to shoot your concealed carry pistol. Let’s take a look at the other side, recoil management. Just like with the best home defense handgun, recoil management is all about physics. There are several factors that can affect our ability to manage recoil and we’re can take a look at three in particular: 1. The size of the gun. 2. The mass of the handgun. 3. The power of the cartridge. The size of the gun. When it comes to the size of a pistol it is important to understand that the larger the surface area of the back strap of the gun is the better job it will do distributing recoil to the hand. If a handgun is relatively small in size and makes very little contact with the hand in the back strap area, it will tend to have a greater felt recoil. On the other hand, if the guns back strap is relatively large, it will spread the same amount of energy over a larger surface area in the shooter will perceive the recoil to be less. In general, when all other things are kept the same a larger gun will feel like it recoils less. The mass of the gun. When we talk about the mass of the gun [...] CCW, Featured, Firearms, Podcast Paul Carlson no no http://www.safetysolutionsacademy.com/0331-selecting-the-best-concealed-carry-handgun/http://www.safetysolutionsacademy.com/podpress_trac/feed/1410/0/0331SelectingTheBestConcealedCarryHandgun.mp3 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ssa_podcast/~3/amR74UX93CU/ http://www.safetysolutionsacademy.com/fundamentals-of-combat-focus-shooting-saturday-may-11-2013/#comments Fri, 10 May 2013 18:39:45 +0000 PaulCarlson http://www.safetysolutionsacademy.com/?p=1406 I just wanted to let you know that we have a few slots available in tomorrow&#8217;s Fundamentals of CFS Course in Garrettsville, OH.

A handgun has many positive attributes including: portability easy to secure common availability recoil management In today’s podcast going to take some time to discuss the specific attributes of handguns and why some are better for home defense than others.   Admin: Sponsor of the Day: Helix Arms Please subscribe to the SSA Mailing List at Safety Solutions Academy Please Subscribe to Gunfighter Cast If we choose a handgun for home defense it is important that we choose the best home defense handgun so we have the tools necessary to defend ourselves or others should we need to In a home defense scenario. A home defense scenario is a high stakes situation we’re talking about a situation with the potential threat the lives of our loved ones and our own lives may depend on the tools we select As a result we can make no compromises in our selection it’s not okay to use a hunting gun or a target shooting gun for home defense defensive firearms have specific properties that are unique to them any compromise we make in our defensive firearm is a compromise in our personal safety We are looking to select the best home-defense handgun and for that reason you shouldn’t be making compromises when it comes to our selection. When selecting the best home defense handgun, we really need to consider balancing two main factors. 1. The first factor is power. 2. The second factor is recoil management. When we look at power of the handgun and recoil management we can see that there is an inverse relationship between the two. In general we can expect that when we need to use our home defense handgun we will need to fire more than once. So here is how I suggest you balance out power and recoil management: For the best home defense handgun choose a full size 9mm handgun. 9mm when paired with a 147grain modern bonded hollow point has terminal performance in our threat that is comparable to other reasonable handgun cartridges and when we place the 9mm into a full size handgun, the recoil is relatively easy to control. This recoil management allows for quick follow-up shots should we need them. Full size 9mm automatics provide an outstanding wounding capacity when compared to other handguns. Wounding capacity is a topic for another podcast so stay tuned for that. The attributes of the best home defense handguns are unique to its purpose. In episode 331 we will take a look at the attributes of the best concealed carry handgun. Make sure you stay tuned to learn more about the best defensive handguns along with some more in depth information about why I prefer the 9 mm cartridge over other defensive ammunition selections.

We must consider: Our context Science Empirical Evidence Logic and Reasoning When it comes to Defensive firearms the handgun has it’s advantages and disadvantages just like any other platform and we must carefully consider both sides as we work to determine if the best home defense tool is the handgun. Advantages of Defensive Handguns Size Portable Easy to secure Easy to use Recoil is manageable Capacity is relatively high Readily available Reliable versions are available Disadvantages of Defensive Handguns Less tissue damage per round than other systems Precision shots take more time and effort to make We need to make sure that when we select defensive tools we are choosing the best tools.  Our life may depend on the choice so when you are looking at a firearm for home defense think carefully about your choice and be sure to choose the best self-defense firearm for you. If when you think about the information we have presented here a handgun doesn’t fit the bill as the best home defense tool you might want to take a look at my defensive shotgun video series.  Head to www.SafetySolutionsAcademy.com and enter you email to receive the video series directly to your in box. Our next podcast will deal with looking at what attributes that make up the best home defense handgun.

Although there can be a hyper-focus on precision in defensive shooting, it is an issue that needs to be addressed. Getting the hit when the target dictates precision based on size or distance is a complex motor skill that requires the defensive shooter to maintain proper sight alignment and sight picture while pressing the trigger to the rear. Any deviation in the sights during the trigger press results in deviation on the target. Too much deviation and the shot is a miss. Many people believe that the proper solution to this issue is dry fire practice and to some degree they are correct. The issue with dry firing, however, is that there is very little feedback to the shooter. Thousands of rounds of dry fire practice isn't going to help you if what you are doing is WRONG!
