From the first time I read Ayoob in gun rags as a kid I just knew he was the real deal

I was thinking the same thing! Not much of a wheel gun guy myself. But boy do I enjoy a Massad Ayoob presentation!

Massad knows his stuff, what do you do if hiding outside from a mob with heat detection camera, answer a special foil insulation blanket, but do not touch any part of the blanket with your body. If they have dogs you will need to deflect the scent.

He's pretty damn on point. Also, I really like Paul Harrell

Propose to him

Truth has been spoken.

Totally agree about staggering live rounds/spent rounds as a way to become aware of flinching or anticipating the shot.

You know if you lost functionality with one limb, even if it was your dominant one, with a certain level of dedication you could probably retrain yourself to shoot effectively with your non-dominant hand. There was a olypmic target shooter, I forget the name of the sport, but it's the one where you ski, and then target shoot at the same time. But he broke one of his arms before the competition and then retrained himself in a surprisingly short amount of time, I think a few weeks or months to shoot with his non-dominant hand, I think he brought home a sliver or gold metal still, with one of his arms crippled. Good that you're still kicking around though.

@@huberthumphry280 Cooper inventing the 10mm alone made him a demi-god. He was an absolute unit and legend of men.

@@BigDaddySwingingMeat even though I like the 10mm, I feel there is no shortage of designers/wildcat developers. What makes him a true legend in my book is that he developed shooting and safety principles that have now become the gold standard in military, police and civilian training the world over. So thoroughly that Hollywood itself shows those principles in their movies and tv shows. (Of course that last sentence is probably due to Cooper's friend and fellow USPSA master shooter Thell Reed, who went on to advise Hollywood studios)

I remember back in the late 1980's, I used to read his column first in Guns and Ammo every issue.

Garand Thumb has done a video on that and it is the only one I can think off off the top off my head.

Yeah, Garand just did a great video on this very topic, I'd give it a watch.

You'd be surprised. I have some first hand experience on overpenetration as I've done a number of insurance claims involving them over the years. Had one 2 weeks ago that was police attempting to apprehend a suspect, where they shot 27 times through the side of a commercial building with 26 gauge ribbed metal siding. Majority went through the siding, then 1/2" wall drywall and stopped when they hit a row of 1/8" laminate wood shelving partitions. Others hit the sales desk and stopped. Police were using both .223 and 9mm - the 9 penetrated furthest. Had a few rounds that ended up going further, but the majority didn't. Had similar outcome on a manufactured home claim I did a few years ago - 9mm 17-ish shots, one stopped in a chest of drawers after penetrating 2 walls (didn't hit the studs), had another go through one wall and stop in the water heater. I've certainly had some that went through 3+ walls including the aluminum siding if they missed the studs, but I've seen them stop after only a couple quite often.

​@@deathlis9mm penetrated further than .223? In what world? How?

​@@speakfreely.1776 5.56 is moving so fast that it brakes up when it interacts with solid objects while dumping it's kinetic energy. 9mm projectiles maintain their mass, thus maintaining their energy through more obstacles.

Hey,,, I'm 80 now and still learning... 😀

I'm 69, and I agree completely with you both!

Psalm 22 "My God My God why have you forsaken me?.... bulls of bashan surround me they pierce my hands and feet.... they cast lots for my garments... "“He trusts in the Lord,” they say, “let the Lord rescue him.(R) Let him deliver him,(S) since he delights(T) in him.” "I am poured out like water" etc like with other passages in the psalms, genesis, (including theophany appearances in the torah) Isaiah, Zechariah, Daniel, Proverbs etc are considered messianic in rabbinic Judaism as the suffering servant messiah Ben Joseph, and to Christianity as Yeshua, Jesus bless you ❤ Edit: To expand on this is of course Isaiah 53 where you have the servant being crushed by God as an offering for sin for others, who dies and sees life and his seed afterwards, who dies with thieves and in a rich man's tomb, and who was despised and rejected, so why there is a common view of two messiahs, Ben yosef and Ben David, one messiah as the suffering servant and another as the conqueror who sets up the kingdom. Isaiah 52 the messiah draws Israel back to himself. Some fun and sad things are like people would say Jesus didn't exist despite Tacitus, Suetonius, Pliny the younger, Lucian etc and the apostles writings and the successors/church fathers of the apostles/bishops writings and josephus, because "Nazareth doesn't exist" until of course Nazareth was discovered, or another one, "there was no synagogue in capnernaum" until we found it, or Thomas Payne in age of reason "Bible is false because there were no kings during Jesus's time" until we found King Herod Agrippa's coins, or "Jesus wasn't buried in a tomb because crucifixion victims weren't buried in tombs" until we found crucifixion victims with the nails still in tombs in tombs. More cool things, are Jesus sweating blood in the garden of Gethsemane, this is a real phenomenon called Hematidrosis where death row inmates sweat blood, also another when Jesus is pierced and water and blood come out this actually happens when water builds around the lungs, it confused some early church fathers on the spiritual meaning, but it's a real phenomenon that occurs as well. Many rabbis into gematria etc say there is a curse upon reading Daniel 9 because it says Messiah The Prince must come and bring in eternal righteousness before the destruction of Solomon's temple, no wonder they say that as then if Messiah didn't come before 70 a.d. there is no messiah, those who have divided messiah into two were confused if the messiah would come riding on a donkey or horse, so the two messiahs, as opposed to the jews who believe in Jesus and himself, who state himself and two arrivals. Of course this is why Islam falls quickly because while they call Jesus messiah they don't understand what it means, and Muhammad of course denied the historical fact of Jesus dying by crucifixion (Which besides tacitus mentioning pontius pilate doing it to him, we even have an inscription that was uncovered oh pilate and dates lining up with his time being the procurator/prefect over Jerusalem) besides Muhammad being the total opposite of Jesus, Muhammad had sex with his child bride Aisha who was nine, he beheaded and crucified people, said not to trust jews and Christians, he had Ethiopian slaves and called them raisin heads, he called jews monkeys and rats, he slaughtered villages and the wives of families he killed said you can take them and have sex with them, he got caught having sex with his slave by Aisha and said he would not do it anymore then conveniently "Allah" comes and says it's fine and he can, he's a textbook false prophet, with of course takiyah being they will lie to you about what I said above, Islam is meant to subjugate the world I'd into belief by force, if you don't convert you must pay a tax, if you don't pay it you die. Allah has no love for unbelievers unlike Jesus who loves his enemies and we are meant to love all even to death, I'd write more but youtube doesn't like long messages, with eastern thought eternal universe doesn't fit the mold because and infinite amount of successive events becoming then impossible to have the present, we would never reach today because we would always have a yesterday or event before this moment, an immaterial, spaceless, timeless, mind (agency) bringing space-time into reality, is the best explanation for why anything exists including someone as amazing and as lovely as yourself 😊 So the disciples who say "For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty." And "13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith. 15In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised. 17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep." Since the witnesses knew whether or not they were lying and knew what it would mean to continue to say he did in fact rise and is the Messiah and God in the flesh then yes I believe them as The Messiah had to come during that time, a mind/agency creating the universe is the best cause for reality, Jesus is the most moral, truthful and charismatic and loving and honest person there is, and the most important and influential, (Buddha said he was still searching for truth, Jesus say, "I am the truth, the way and the life") Jesus gives us love and salvation as a gift without earned merit by us, not working our way to the truth or God or eternal destiny through every other religious and spiritual framework, he loves you and cares so much for you before he created you and wants a living relationship with you here and now not just after you die 😊 There's a million other things to cover that I want to say but this is probably a good stopping point but Jesis wants to remove the shadow in your life and Jesus wants you as you are right now he wants your heart and to live in you and you to know his love personally 😊 I had people prophesy over me very specific things nobody else knew about my past, things I was thinking or experienced even just the day before, Jesus healed me of sleep paralysis I had for years, depression and loneliness, I had a dream of a woman named Heather and a voice telling me their dad had died, a couple days later i meet them and they tell me about how they had just lost their dad that week, I feel God telling me to sit down and close my eyes and I see an outline of someone going to the bathroom very bizarre, then shortly after someone out of the blue asking me to pray for them as they are having trouble going to the bathroom, another was I ask Jesus alone "are you my buddy?" A couple hours later someone contacts me and they say "Yes Jesus is saying yes he is your buddy" another time was I obsessing a little over this blue suit and someone prophecies "I see you in this blue suit" etc, another time I was testing this whole thing and I'm about to be prophecied over and I have my Google notes out I had tried writing out a little story and it was about a fire and forest being burnt down and I ask God to confirm if he wants me to write this and sort of as a test because everything had been scary accurate and the person right after says "God wants you to be his little stick lit ablaze with his love, it may not seem like much but one small flame can burn down a whole forest" 😂 another one was I had this. Surreal vision looking at stars, shortly after someone messages me saying Jesus is looking at a telescope with you saying to you "everything I have is yours even the stars" another one I was in the bathroom asking God for a message for my friend Moses in Nigeria and as I'm leaving the bathroom i freeze in place and go into this bizarre trance like Peter in the book of acts and I see my friend Moses as a child playing with a toy firetruck and Jesus sitting next to him with love, I quickly tell them and they are in shock as they had just thrown away that toy that same day, another time I had gotten a word from God about someone close to me who hadn't accepted Jesus and that they had been praying to God secretly, I told them that and the look on their face was priceless as I had no idea they had been praying to God at all, they were shook 😄 this is only a handful of many a 100 times in just the last 12 months after 5 years of me being born again, there's so many more amazing things that have happened but you are beautiful and desired of God, he is a gentleman and will not force you to choose him or love him but he loves so so much, he's asking you if you will come, he will love you and cherish you everyday of your life, he will never abandon you, I beg you to take a chance and not reject God's love for you, he wants to heal you and you to enjoy a living relationship between you, God bless you so much, Jesus says to come to him for rest your weary soul he is humble and meek and tender and gentle, he loves you so much he knows everything about you, nothing about you is unimportant to him 😭❤❤ If you repent and call on his name you will be saved from hell and Jesus's wrath and judgement for all have sinned!! ❤ For God so loved The World that gave his only begotten son that whoever should believe in him will not perish but have eternal life!! 💙🙌🏻 repent all have sinned and fallen short!!❤️‍🔥❤♥️❤❤

Everything I wrote really happened to me another time is I had just woken up and before my eyes like a lens or movie against my eyes wide awake I saw black women vacuuming and cleaning in a room and then it faded off and shortly after my friend from Nigeria messaged me about sisters he had never told me before and whose aunt was mistreating them and forcing them to work at a hotel and he had never shared this knowledge before and so we contacted child services, another time a woman I never met before God told me to tell them their mammogram would go well I didn't even know what a mammogram was and they cried and told me they had just gotten one and then later the results came back negative, so many other times too Jesus is alive and real and loves you he wants to bring you from spiritual death to life his life and spiritually adopt you he loves you so much he had always seen you and loved you I pray you recieve his forgiveness and love and freedom from condemnation the world is already condemned and he came to set you free! his arms are wide open! You can recieve him now wherever you are and he'll never reject you or abandon you when you are his! He gave his life up for you and to recieve you he is the truth and the real deal! Jesus bless you! He wants you to know him! He'll never force it he wants you to freely come to him he desires you to enter a loving relationship with him and give you peace! 🙏✝️❤ If you desire to email me you can at mileslmog@outlook.com but you don't need to go through anyone Jesus is there already beside you waiting for you! May you accept his love and forgiveness and a new life and new future! ❤✝️❤️

Absolutely, it's the first gun I found myself admiring and I still love the classic look and feel of a revolver. I never leave home without my trusty .38 I had to laugh, I was practicing with one of my son's friends on a very isolated property and he has a .22. As soon as we got there and I fired my .38 and it went BOOM, he said WOW that's loud. 😂😂 I don't even look at pistols, because I just end up going back to looking at revolvers.

You can't go wrong with a time proven tool. A revolver's a backup if nothing else and easier to maintain.

@@adrianmizen5070 they killed my dad

@@adrianmizen5070 In the early 2000's I was working at a port in Shreveport LA . One night as I was heading back to my motel I had to stop at a red light. As I was waiting for the light to change a thuggish looking fellow walked up to the drivers side of my truck ( the window was down ) and asked me for a lite. I passed him the Bic that I kept in the arm rest, and after he lit his cigarette he pulled up the front of his tee-shirt to display the butt of a Glock 17 or 22 ( didn't ask the caliber ) . He then demanded that I give my money over to him. So I calmly reached back as if to get my wallet and retrieved the .357 Ruger Speed Six from under my right thigh and as I pointed the Ruger at his chest I told him that "it cost me about 25 cents every time I pull this trigger, now exactly how much of my money do you want me to give you." At which point the fine young man with the Glock politely informed me that he had the wrong vehicle, apologized and backed away, keeping his hands in plain sight. The little bastard did run off with my lighter though. So to answer you question; No I have never felt outgunned carrying a revolver.

Years of training and practice. is the key to staying alive.

For people that want a handgun for home protection, but are not genuine gun people, and never practice, I agree, the revolver is probably better than a semi auto. That said, in my experience pistols, generally require more work, practice, and finesse to use effectively. My personal opinion is if someone is going to have a gun that they put in their bedroom and forget about after purchasing, the 20 gauge shotgun is probably the way to go. I agree that revolvers have the capacity to be more accurate than a semi auto, but I think from most people, they really are now relegated to the realm of hunting and back country carry guns.

I like both revolvers and semi autos,carried them both in the 70s and 80s military and in law enforcement and they are still relevant especially 357 magnum/ 38 special and a 327 magnum with the ability to use 32 magnum,32long,32 short, and ability to use 32 acp if necessary,but the last two are expensive and not really a priority but I could use them in a pinch. And the 32 caliber are very accurate and low recoil and fast follow up shots on target, and 45acp is a favorite for home,have 380s and 9MMs for back up pistols, The most relevant handgun is the one that you can use with confidence . And becomes 2nd nature 🤔my 357sig and 327 magnum are my EDC most of the time 👍

@@chuckd553 Depends on what works for YOU. I carry semi auto the most but can run the piss out of a GP100

My mother only likes revolvers because of her arthritis in her hands. She has a .357 Magnum, and also a .38 Special. She does own a 9mm pistol but she can't rack it or load the magazine herself so she keeps it at home. In her purse she keeps the .38 and in the center console of her car she keeps the .357 Mag.

Springs wear from repeated cycling, not from sitting under tension or compression. Sitting loaded for years is not going to affect the function of either pistols or revolvers if both are stored in a dry place. Any other suggestion is apocryphal.

They should make it mandatory for every gun owner to be educated and trained.

But he is not a fan of revolvers. He has made videos before where he proffers the use of semi-autos and 2 or 3 spare mags. That's 45-60 rounds. WTF is he expecting - a regiment of home invaders! Perhaps we should sit on the porch with an M60 and a carrier of belted ball. He may have lots of experience and knowledge but he speaks a lot of crap.

Good to see you, sir.

I'll try and get a copy of that issue. As a new shooter I like reading lots of perspectives on the topic of self-defense shooting, and I consider anything from any period to be relevant.

What a dangerous way to decock a gun

@@roddydykes7053 There's no other way once you cock it and that's what Mr Ayoub recommends against novices shooting single action and just practicing with the trigger DA instead. Yes you hold the hammer, then pull the trigger and immediately let go. Most modern revolvers have a transfer bar safety that falls in place but all mechcanical devices and safeties cannot be relied upon 100% as they are prone to failure. On that note you may come across a vintage revolver like a Ruger Blackhawk (got a 1960's 1st gen three screw) that does not have a transfer bar safety. It has a nicer trigger as a result, less to snag and going on. Had that gun for years and proper operation is not 2nd nature but you have to be mindful train into, get used to and it's one more thing a novice that lacks this muscle memory can get wrong.

@treedoo what makes it easier to use a revolver one handed than an automatic?

wdym a revolver can be used with one hand but a semi auto can't? You mean the semi auto user doesn't have one in the chamber and needs to rack the slide?

What additional training do you need with a revolver? Revolvers ae considered entry-level guns precisely because they need less training than automatics. I'd think it's be the other way around.

Since when do cops have to account for their rounds down range? I've never heard of a cop being charged for negligent discharge of their service weapon. As usual, the cop is lying.

@@mattbrown5511 You never hearing of something creates a universal truth? That sounds pretty delusional. Cops are subject to other sanctions, like suspension without pay, which, being a personnel matter you won't hear of, but the main reason for accounting for all the projectiles is to prevent your employing agency from facing liability, you know, being sued. I assume you have heard of cities being sued over police matters.

@@nicholasroberts9618 I doubt he ever attended, let alone graduated, from any police academy.

Have to disagree. New midsized .38s are not common to find, and the ammo is far more expensive than 9mm (so less range time). Buying old revolvers is tricky if you don't know what to measure and function test, or if you buy online and can't test it.

Yes, the well sized .38-only revolver is dead, the only one Smith and Wesson sells is the Model 10 classic ($1000). They shoehorn customers into buying a $1000 686/66/etc just to shoot .38 specials now. Also .38 special is twice as expensive as 9mm at the moment.

The people who normally relied on the police aren't the type who goes to the range often. Therefore a simple 38 snub nose is perfect for them. Not hardly used or cleaned just sitting there but dependable when the time comes without much training .

@@groupergary5536 Snub nosed .38s, particularly _lightweight_ .38s are among the most difficult handguns to fire accurately. Couple that with 5 rounds it's an absolutely awful choice for someone who never goes to the range.

@@venz8201 I'd agree with that take for snub .357s, but most 38s are very light on the recoil, I wouldn't place them anywhere near the "most difficult handguns to fire accurately" list, especially if they're DA/SA. In SA with the hammer back I'd argue it's easier to put that first shot dead nuts where you want it with a .38spl compared to nearly anything else.

@@terrycruise-zd5twno, simply pull the trigger and bang. You can shorten the trigger pull by pulling the hammer back, but in a life or death scenario, trigger and bang. That’s why they call them “double action” because pulling the trigger does both the “cocking of the gun” and firing the weapon all in one pull.

Many people preach capacity, but nearly all firearm-related encounters are over and done with in 3 shots or less. Not to mention, it's very hard to explain to police how you justified putting 15 or more rounds down range. That's entering a very real legal danger zone.
