    Fair enough. I do see mostly those and S3F barrels on all the cool Glock pictures. They are just a bit more than I want to spend.

    I, for one, welcome our new vegetable overlords.

    While I'm always up for destroying produce it wouldn't prove much more than how fun it is to shoot vegetables.

    Valid point, I can't find any real world examples that list the specifics of bird shot in shootings. I can't tell you what shells were used in the shootings I saw, I do know at least one was a 3" though. The issue with birdshot is even if a pellet manages to hit something vital, too small of...

    What size bird shot do you think is acceptable for HD?

    Obviously no one with an ounce of common sense would consider any shotgun shell less lethal except for the ones designed to be.

    Probably, it just says "all types" when listing bird shot.

    Law enforcement can get away with it more than we can. Company policy aside we also have to deal with HIPPA laws on privacy. I have a couple cool ones but I won't post them here. They were taken after the fact by others for educational purposes. But I don't want to even set myself up to be asked...

    At close enough it can cause some damage. But damaged and incapacitated are different. This is based on my experience and I'm sure there are plenty of cases of people being killed by birdshot, but I'd be curious to see how many are physically unable to keep fighting. Not including the ones who...

    No pics. That's a huge no-no in my world. From my limited experience bird shot does not have the mass to travel through much more than a t-shirt and keep enough velocity to cause too much damage. I did see someone shot with RIP ammo. It passed right through like a FMJ and was found looking...

    He said it was so if he makes a mistake because he wasn't fully awake he had a chance of not killing. I think it's dumb but I thought it was an interesting point of view. Bird shot can do some damage but I have personally seen the results on several different people and none of them were...

    i read an article that asked various SOF guys their tips for home defense. One of the people in the article said he preferred a semi auto shotgun. He said his first shell was birdshot so if he made a mistake on identifying the target it was less likely to be fatal with the following shots...

    I was leaning toward the alpha wolf but now I am thinking I'm going to go silencerco since dogleg sells them and I want to give a SET member some business. They are also good looking.

    Glock threaded barrels

    I think I am going to go with an Alpha Wolf barrel. Its made by Lone Wolf but is made in the USA. Its fluted, which I dont need but it looks cool and comes with a thread protector. By the time you buy a lone wolf and a thread protector its only like 20-30 bucks cheaper.

    Glock threaded barrels

    Who are y'all using for Glock threaded barrels. It seems like there are more companies making them then the last time I looked. It seems like t used to be lonewolf was all there was. I like one by alpha wolf, it's fluted and under $200. I also saw that @DoglegArms has silencerco ones. What...
