Hillary Clinton is President of the United States. She’s appointed an anti-gun justice to the Supreme Court, and the Court has ruled 5-4 that the Second Amendment does not protect the individual right to keep and bear arms. As an LEO, what do you do?

The TSA announced this week that they confisctaed 73 guns from carry on bags in American airports. In one week. This shocking number would support the argument often made by gun-grabbers that we, supposedly responsible gun owners, are actually mindless idiots. What can be done?

KORWIN: Gun Myths Just Keep Coming

I’m cataloging the gun myths decent people have been enduring in the struggle to preserve, protect and defend the right to keep and bear arms. I didn’t choose those verbs lightly.

You can't ask for much more in terms of expansion.

Ammo Test: Sig Sauer Elite Performance .45 ACP 230-grain V-Crown

{ 27 comments }

When it comes to .45 ACP expansion performance, and I’m talking about the heavy and comparatively slow 230-grain varieties, reliable expansion can be an iffy thing. What starts as a projectile capable of leveling a city block often ends with some percentage of unexpanded slow but heavy bullets. But the Sig? Hell’s bells. No way.

The .38 Super faded from fashion when the .357 came onto the scene in the late 1930s. But the round runs exceptionally well in the 1911, and has some strong selling points. And now that Sig is making .38 Super for practice and carry, the time is right to consider the caliber again.

The heavier 9mm projectiles penetrated deep, but still expanded properly.

As the 9mm guns get smaller, fewer people are carrying their old .380s. But the .380 can be a deadly gun if it is running the right ammo. Today we’re testing out Sig’s new hollow-point .380s. How well do these little rounds run? Read the review…

These Sig Sauer V-Crown 9mm bullets expanded perfectly after passing through the four-layer FBI test fabric.

While the Sig ammo is a relative newcomer to the market, the people are not. I spent some time talking with Dan Powers, who runs the ammo show, and it’s clear that the folks behind Sig Sauer’s new ammunition division have been there and done that. Because every caliber, load and brand combination is different, we’re going to be testing a number of different Sig Sauer loads over the coming weeks. We’ll start the handgun family with Sig’s Elite Performance V-Crown 9mm load.
