SGM Kyle Lamb, on various subjects

SGM Kyle Lamb
Some of you gun article readers may be familiar with SGM (ret.) Lamb. He's been around in the gun community for years. I'd like to pass on some things he brought up, recently.

He has an M&P 9mm Shield as his daily carry, and praises it for it's ease of carry, good ergonomics, reliability and even the fact that it features a MANUAL! safety, which he trains to quickly flick off, before firing. He has switched to it from a Glock 19. Well, I'm not the only one, now am I?

He also mentions that Springfield has opted not to offer some of their models in .40 S&W, giving the opinion of the eminent shooter Rob Leatham to the effect that 'the .40 hurts, after a good amount of rounds, particularly if certain loads are shot'. I can't argue with that, coming from such a reputable source. I have found both it and .357 SIG to be so. I would still buy one for certain applications, but bearing in mind my experienced hand, and the fact that I won't be firing hundreds of rounds through it, either. This is the reason I won't/don't recommend the .40 or .357 for novices, though.

Another most interesting topic he brought up was the cost of certain kinds of ammo. For example, he mentions that 9mm has a current price advantage of about $80, over .45 ACP, per lots of 1000. He also brings to light that 9mm reloads do not cost much more than .22 LR store bought rounds, today!

Interesting man, interesting info.

"WHAT GOOD CAN A HANDGUN DO AGAINST AN ARMY.....?"

BoGACman — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:08:27 GMT

A friend of mine recently forwarded me a question a friend of his had posed:

"If/when our Federal Government comes to pilfer, pillage, plunder our property and destroy our lives, what good can a handgun do against an army with advanced weaponry, tanks, missiles, planes, or whatever else they might have at their disposal to achieve their nefarious goals? (I'm not being facetious: I accept the possibility that what happened in Germany, or similar, could happen here; I'm just not sure that the potential good from an armed citizenry in such a situation outweighs the day-to-day problems caused by masses of idiots who own guns.)"

If I may, I'd like to try to answer that question. I certainly do not think the writer facetious for asking it. The subject is a serious one that I have given much research and considerable thought to. I believe that upon the answer to this question depends the future of our Constitutional republic, our liberty and perhaps our lives. My friend Aaron Zelman, one of the founders of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership told me once:

"If every Jewish and anti-nazi family in Germany had owned a Mauser rifle and twenty rounds of ammunition AND THE WILL TO USE IT (emphasis supplied, MV), Adolf Hitler would be a little-known footnote to the history of the Weimar Republic." ...MORE (see link)

What IF Liberals Had Been in Charge of the Revolution??

BoMan — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 13:16:47 GMT

Let’s take today’s liberal mentality and head back to the birth of this nation, shall we?

The Boston Tea Party It was December 16th, 1773 and the Colonists were sick and tired of being taxed without the courtesy of fair representation. In an act of defiance of the British Crown, a group of Patriots dressed as Indians, boarded ships in Boston Harbor and destroyed tea shipments by dumping crates of it into the harbor. HOWEVER… By today’s standards, dressing up as Indians would be racist and any doing so, who were NOT Indians, would have been held accountable for racist activities and hate crimes UNLESS of course, they were running for the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts. They would be called an angry mob, racists, crazy as bat poop, violent and fakes. They would have been fined MILLIONS for not doing a full blown ecological study regarding the effect of caffeine on fish and yes, they would have been banned for fear of scaring pelicans. Bunch of bullies…MORE (see link)

Congressman Allen West: Everyone Should Buy a Glock 9mm

Beauman — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 19:26:56 GMT

Rep. Allen West is less than pleased with the Supreme Court's ruling that ObamaCare is a tax. During an event in Florida, West said the tax code is now being used as a weapon against the American people while he gave a brief history of the ever increasing income tax rate. West did however find a way to get standing applause from the audience after suggesting everyone be taxed into buying a Glock 9mm.

"I have a great idea. I believe that for personal security every American should have to go out and buy a Glock 9 mm and if you don’t do it, we’ll tax you.”
At the same event, West said President Obama wants Americans to be his slaves.

"He does not want you to have the self-esteem of getting up and earning, and having that title of American. He'd rather you be his slave."
