air marshalls all use frangable bullets, thats what they were designed for , back when the US started using air marshalls the US govt went to the ammo mfgs and said "make a bullet that will kill but won't damage a air plane" the ammo mfgs invented the frangable bullet, it is also good for home defense if you live in a frame house, it won't go through a framed double drywall wall, costs alot more than reg ammo

That's a very distinctive sound alright!!! Think how great an alarm system sound that would be...LOL, along with the "What chyall doin' in my house?"

n highschool I new this girl who had the cheap alarm that has the sounds of dogs barking, (it was a motion sensor I think).  anyway we made her a new tape for it that had the sound of a round being jacked into a shotgun.  just one pump loud and clear with no other sound.

I have no idea how well that worked but we did have some fun making the tape.  don't think she was ever broken into though.

we had some major brake-in problems in my nehborhood a few years back.  a lot of break-ins for about 6 blocks around, plus things being stolen out of the yard.  

so I had this old roll-up window shade on the window that was set into the back door.  so I cut the shade off at about 6" then I went to the shooting range.  took a siloet target and ran it out to about 40', then took the nine out with 2 clips plus one in the chamber.  I put all 25 into the 9-10 zone then rolled up the target andtook it home. taped it to what was left of the shade.  so when you goto bed at night you pull down the shade and leave the inside porch light on.  it's wuite an effect going outside and seeing the blacked out silouet with all the holes of light shinning through.

for whatever reason (the target or the new dog I got at about the same time) we never had any trouble after that.

Is they cost so much, it is hard to justify the expense. Very hard to get the girlfriend to understand spending the money too, lol even though she is a better shot then I am if she uses a 9mm.

I want this next.


They have one called the V10, like the one in the picture, but it has compensation ports cut in it.


I want!


Maybe after this one, I will get a Sig pro.

capt... I am afraid that I would be so traumatized by the whole event that I wouldn't even notice that I had put a couple extra shots into the perp.     Just a fortunate hapenstance.    I mean... I was frieghtened and I don't even recall the gun going off.... I just wanted to stop him...
