Real Street Guns

Most all of my work all these years has consisted of Real Street Guns. At this point in time more Americans are licensed to carry handguns than ever before. I very seldom do work for target shooters although my guns have been used to win State Championships.

Not everyone is capable of walking around with a Government model Colt 45 acp 1911 pistol. Its big and heavy and difficult to conceal, depending on the persons size and the clothing he or she wears. DO NOT believe the NONSENSE that you need to carry a Colt 45 with Ball ammo to win a SOCIAL ENCOUNTER. There is NO TRUTH TO THIS MYTH. I have seen 45 acp Ball ammo shot at a car door and the slow bullet bounced off leaving a large dent.

Real Street Guns that people carry are much smaller type handguns such as 380 acp, 9 mm semi autos and 38 special, and 357 mag. revolvers. Since there has been such an advance in handgun ammunition which has made smaller calibers so much more lethal.
More and more people now carry pistols such as Kahr, The New Rohrbaugh, Walther PPK, PPK/s, Colt Mustang, Mini Glocks, S&W 3913, Makarov, Sig 239, Naa Guardian, Seecamp, etc, and revolvers such as S&W 640, S&W 442, S&W 642, Ruger SP101, etc, etc, etc.

Modern ammunition will give you an opportunity that you could never have achieved years ago. I have reloaded ammo for 45 years, I know how to get an 88 grain bullet in 380 acp caliber to travel at approx. 1087 FPS. Now newer exotic type bullets and powder can do even better. People are carrying smaller handguns as never before. Back in the 70's in Florida I carried 38 special bullets I made using a hollow base wad cutter bullet inverted upside down over 4.5 grains of Bullseye powder.

I even read a fraudulent magazine article about 1 year ago where the author claimed nothing could be done to improve these mini handguns. He was just plain wrong. I have been refining these small handguns for 20 years, many articles have been published about my work.

More people have been put on ice using 9 mm and 38 special calibers. There are a great many concealed carry handgun licensed people carrying Real Street Guns like 380 acp and 9 mm pistols that you could ever imagine, women often carry them in their purse. How are you going to CONCEAL your favorite Government or Commander 1911 pistol in 95 degree plus weather.
Real Street Guns are what people out there are really carrying and relying on.
These tough talking pro 45 acp people would not really want to take a couple of hits from a 9 mm Corbon Powerball or a 380 acp caliber Magsafe or Glaser type bullet, WOULD THEY ???
I Wouldn't.................... This is the real world we live in, different States have certain restrictions, here in Texas, your carry handgun MUST BE CONCEALED AT ALL TIMES.

I would put my HK P7 M8 loaded with Triton prefragmented QUIK SHOK or Corbon Powerball or a +P+ HP Bullet up against any situation in defense of my life.
