There is something about that statement concerning aiming at the crotch that strikes me as being weird and very unprofessional.
His comments about keeping an unloaded cylinder underneath a single action hammer is a bit strange. I don’t know anyone who does this.
You have obviousLy read a lot more Ayoob than I have and I am down with that. I stopped reading Ayoob when I hit the factory ammo issue.
I don’t reload, although I ought to start. If I do, then handloads giving a 240 grain bullet at 950 fps ought to make a very good defensive load for my Model 29. 44 specials tend to be more anemic than a 45 ACP, and 44 mag loads tend to be...well, overkill.
And no, I will NOT worry about what the DA thinks of handloads. If my guilt or innocence comes down to that, then I shouldn’t have fired in the first place. I don’t care if it is a 22, if you aren’t willing to accept killing the other person, don’t shoot him!
Heck, with a 240/250 grain bullet at 950 fps, I ought to have sample rounds for the police left in the gun. It shouldn’t take too many rounds like that to convince a person he attacked the wrong household that night!
“I stopped reading Ayoob when I hit the factory ammo issue.”
That and when he tried to present himself as having been in actual combat or gun fights by carefully wording his speeches only to find out he’s never been in either.
I’ve read a number of his comments over the years that were simply academic in nature and not based in reality.
