I thought that a zombie has to be a head shot, or is that urban legend?

I was using zombie in a broad general sense.:D

Depends on the movie whether or not head shots are required. :)

I/anyone else can order up body armor on the web and a 380 is just gonna piss a bad guy wearing ANY level armor off. Even in a cold winter when dressed heavily a 380 may lack the penetration needed for a clean stop, better practice those head shots. ;)

Put on 4 winter coats and let him shoot you then. I won't even hurt right? :rolleyes:

In the winter time you actually get better penetration from hollowpoints because the cavity plugs and it becomes, in essence, a FMJ.

One of the rationales behind CorBon Powrball ammo is that it cannot be plugged by heavy clothing or intervening barriers.

Learn to read guys "CLEAN STOP" as in end the threat IMMEDIATELY.

m21sniper 07-17-2010 10:20 PM

I think that a "clean" or "immediate" stop is pretty much wishful thinking with any handgun cartridge. I plan to shoot until i have nothing left to shoot or until the other guy(s) stops moving, whichever comes first.

That would be a good plan.

I took a few beauty shots of my LCP this past weekend....

I don't really plan to stop until I run out of ammo....

One thing is certain, he's not gonna contradict any story you tell the cop who wasn't there.

Very Nice Shooting.....I was thinking about picking this gun up as well....That or the Taurus 738 TCP...

Did you do the Ruger name inlay with red paint???That looks great....

What magazine is that...????

m21sniper 07-19-2010 03:46 PM

Thanks for the compliments!

I did the paint work myself. If you get an LCP send me a PM, and i'll explain how to do it, it's easy.

The magazine is a modified +1 extension baseplate from Impact guns, they sell them on their website. You'll probably need Kel Tec P3AT Wolff mag springs to make the +1 kit work right.

I read a lot of negative user reviews on the Taurus, so i opted for the LCP instead. I am very happy with it so far.
