I'm nobody special, a 72 year old retired soldier and government security contractor with spinal stenosis & sciatica. As a youngster, I was a Jeff Cooper acolyte, M1911A1, .45ACP all the way. The Army issued .45s to me until the M9A1s came out. Not a fan. At 5'8"/180 lbs, I usually carry two snub-nosed revolvers concealed. (I'm not a "shorts/t-shirt" guy.) Lately my primary carry has been a 3" Taurus 692 Tracker with interchangeable .357/9mm cylinders or a 3" Ruger LCRx .357 Magnum with a S&W 642-1 or Taurus 856UL.

My dad had a retired Sgt1st Class from WWII and the Korean War working for him for a time. I remember most of his stories (the ones he felt ok to talk about). One of them was when he was in Korea. The Chinese would attack all hopped up on drugs. His 30 cal. carbine just wasn't doing the job. When they got close enough he said he would pull his 1911. That's when they started to drop. Granted the evolution of bullets has improved over time but that story alone will have me a .45 lover forever.

[@dakotaemerson9216]

I’ve heard a few different stories from police officers that back that up!

[@mlh4247]

So near the beginning Tanto spoke of a vehicle dynamics course. I attended it, at Big 3 east. At one point they had us in the drivers seat of a Jeep Cherokee with the target at the hood. We shot 2 rounds through the windshield and watching the round deflect and not hit target or the round jacket come apart was insane. The heavier rounds (.45 acp) typically performed much better. The fact a “Ranger” round performed well earned his praise.. along with a comment from someone attending. RLTW

[@BlueJayWaters]

On the off chance you see this comment Shawn, I had the pleasure of talking to a surgeon when I worked at a hospital who was well versed in gunshot wounds. The cavitation effect on average 45 over 9mm to the human body seems marignal on paper but the actual impact (with right ammo choice) 45 has an easier time achieving that high damage threshold. He also went on to say that 5.56 usually passes through at such velocity that the wound channel isn't as detrimental to survival as you would think. In a way a rifle wound could be easier to patch up than a pistol round due to ammo choice and muzzle length. And thats why I choose a shotgun for home defense. He told me he hasn't seen many shotgun in juries, because they are mostly fatal.

[@squizzyt8698]

Excellent comment - value info...thanks

[@jasonwilson4138]

Well that surgeon lives in fairy tell land. There is no reality that a fucking handgun does more damage, at any range, then a fucking long gun. As an aside, the 5.56 (m855a1) that is issued now is designed to fragment. m855 would fragment at higher velocities.

[@BlueJayWaters]

@jasonwilson4138 what's issued to the military is not what we are seeing in the civilian world. As far as I know, he did not serve and has no experience with military grade ammo, only what people can acquire on the streets. You also don't seem to understand the point, a pistol round can do more damage than a rifle, not that it does. It comes down to cavitation, or vital organ impact. If a slower round drags in the body, it will have a wider wound channel than a high velocity round. But muzzle velocity, barrel length, grains, and type of bullet all are factors here. And considering the wounds I personally saw with 9mm and 5.56, there is a valid argument for caliber choice in defensive firearm usage

[@jasonwilson4138]

@BlueJayWaters As someone who served as combat medic from 00 to 08 and who held a paramedic license until 2013, I understand quite well. Cavitation is caused by kinetic energy, mass comes into play, but velocity is the overwhelming factor. Most old wives tells come directly from Doctors, either through a lack of time or inability to communicate their acquired knowledge. I will eat a .45 at 50 meters to my thoracic cavity any fucking day of the year before I take a .223 from 100 meters. Could a handgun cause more damage, sure, depending on shot placement. Given a choice, pray you are being sprayed by handgun rounds and not rifle. You are completely correct about shot placement, a 22 to your frontal lobe is infinitely worse than a m2 50 to your leg.

[@armorers_wrench]

@@BlueJayWaters The fact that you have so much confidence repeating nonsense is hilarious. There is NO SCENARIO in which a pistol round will do more damage than a 5.56. The rifle wound is ALWAYS going to be more significant assuming the rounds enter the same part of the body. Did you happen to see what Kyle Rittenhouse did to that guys arm? It literally blew his bicep apart. The other guys died instantly. No fancy m855a1 required, Rittenhouse used the cheapest bullshit .223 ammo that was available at the peak of the 2020 riots and we all know that means he had under loaded PMC bronze or maybe even steel case. Quit making claims that you then try to back up with technical sounding vernacular. You don't know what you're talking about and its very obvious.

glock 20 was my first gun ever, shot it for 20 years before i got exposed to all the other brands and calibers. i have new favorites mainly Walthers but that glock 20 is my baby and despite the recoil im still a better shot with it than other "better" guns or even more mellow recoil. that glock 20 is my baby

[@TwoFeatherChannel]

@@winterbournewillow1031 I grew up in the 60's and 70's and large calibers were all they had, so recoil never bothered my shooting. there weren't any plastic frames, strikers and 9mm wasn't used. .45 acp and 38 super were the most used in semi auto 1911 platforms. I disliked the Glock for many years by not even shooting one, just judging by looks and holding them at gunshows. Glock20 was at a local shop one day, so I asked if I could dry fire it to see if I liked the trigger pull. the guy said yes. I was sold right then. Trigger feel means a lot to being from the smooth single action 1911's for so many years. of coarse I upgrade all my Glock triggers to a smoother metal trigger. I still never like the feel of that plastic pop feel when the trigger breaks. with the metal trigger shoe I don't feel it, it's smooth.

with modern ammo,, over penetration is less of an issue, but in years past, i carried 45 because its a large slow moving heavy round that gets it done without the concern of over penetration.

Ever since then I have followed him and what he's been involved in. All of the guys seem to be great dudes. Happy to see Tanto finally on SRS.

[@the_patriotic_gringo]

Same here. Tanto was some of my inspiration to become a bravo. Idk if you watched his interview about Benghazi, but he and the other contractors said that is how about every bit of that went down. Not underplayed or overplayed but just exactly as he remembered. It is so sad to see the new war movies claim, "Based on a true story" and we find out the entire storyline is fabricated. I guess it is easier to get recruits to join off of lies.

[@kirby.hofman]

@@the_patriotic_gringo I did see the interview and I'm glad they all agree that the movie got it right. I also did just notice something interesting on a advertising clip for a new war moving coming up. Rather than say "based on true story" it says something along the line of "based on the memories by those involved." I don't remember which movie it is, I wish I did, but it's something that has yet to come out. I really like that wording. It does the story more justice and also makes me feel like they worked hard to talk to everyone to get all the details correct.

Pure Awesomeness! Thanks SRS ❤️

Tanto is the dude!

My back hurts too from carrying. The Hunter Constantine carry belt helps a lot because it’s elastic in the back. Highly recommended.

That fort scott ammo really does put in work, damn lol. I found a video of it punching through 2a/3a body armors. Plus paul harrell did a whole video on it few years ago

I was in the U.S military for 9 years. Looking at what is going on in Ukraine vs Russia. We don't know how to fight a modern war. We are very arrogant because we dominated the battlefield against a weaker force for about 20 years. This will not happen against Russia. Also, I don't think we should be fighting them in the first place. We should have an understanding between our countries. It's the rich bankers that want us to fight. Fuck that.

[@mommytsunami]

Ukraine gave up their nukes in 1991 with the understanding that NATO and the US will defend them if they’re invaded. We’re just keeping our word.

I work in a federal prison. There are a ton of inmates walking through metal detectors with 9mm in them. There's not a lot of inmates walking the yard with .45's in them. Think about that a minute.

[@deputyjack1]

True!

[@ryanh6081]

Coming from a background of 20 years working in healthcare/ICU.... I can concur with your statement, probably being correct. Have seen some interesting gsw's over the years.

[@armorers_wrench]

that's just simply because 9mm is more common. That's called confirmation bias. The FBI has studied this extensively. There is no ballistic advantage to .45acp worth mentioning that is better than an additional 9 rounds of ammo that has lower recoil. This is a solved puzzle and its the reason every military and police department in the world has moved away from .40S&W and .45acp.

Tbh I was confused and thought this was a reupload from an older episode, and then I realized I’ve watched every single one from the start and thought “shit, I can’t believe he hasn’t been on”
