How to spot trouble and selecting your concealed carry ammo are the two primary topics in this episode. Ben Branam and I discussed these 2 subjects on the way home from an IDPA match about a week ago. We discussed what to look for in someone who may want to harm you and then we transitioned to the subject of ammunition selection and ballistics. I also answer some listener email.

  1. Great show Bob as always! Just wanted to chime in real quick on the choice of bird shot in a home defense shotgun…… don’t do it. It is true it doesn’t over penetrate on drywall but it is also true that it lacks enough penetration to reliably stop a would be threat. We had a patient come through the ER last spring who was part of a family domestic dispute. He was shot straight on center mass of chest from a distance of 20′. He proceeded to disarm the shooter and slapped him around a bit before going to call EMS. CT showed that the shot failed to penetrate his sternum or ribs.He did have a few wounds to his liver and spleen but nothing rendering him incapacitated.Pellets did not penetrate into the upper thoracic cavity. I would highly suggest a minimum of #4 buck.

    Keep the good work and stay safe. High regards,

  2. Thanks for the comment Jon. I appreciate your persepective because you see so much coming into the ER. I’ll use this on a future show.

  3. GT Distributors in Austin has the Winchester 9mm 127 GR SXT +p+ on the clearance table for $16.99 for a box of 50.

  4. I was all into the show until somebody did the racking of the slide shotgun thing.May be true if a person is a honest criminal the downside is there is a person locked up in Mo because a home owner was told to do that instead of having it already loaded the criminal pointed his glock 17 in the direction of the slide racking and unloaded on him a shot the home owner several times 5-6 times if my memory is right.

  5. Hello Bob. New to your podcast. Very interesting. I know this was back in January, but, what is your thoughts about CorBon Glaser Blue Safety Loads for conceal carry?

  6. Good ammo, I used to use it. But after testing Corbon DPX 115gr, I think the reliable expansion plus the penetration is better than the Glaser Blue.
