Well, if not "well armed" you certainly are not
" under gunned " with the Mossberg riot and .38 snub in a typical suburban setting
( you should both at least familiarize your self with those two practical firearms), I'd cut my reloading teeth so to speak by getting a bullet casters reject .38 cal projectiles, I'd figured it out to where i could shoot .38 special at 2.5 cents a pop,,, I'm a pretty good pistolero if I may add due to that fact
LoL,,,
Those ' muzzle brakes' that hit the scene around the time 8 years of slick willy are commonly referred to as 'blast enhancers' as they direct the expanding propellant gases vectored back to the shooters ears,,,, I swear, after the first two rounds I'd popped off with a Spanish CETME/h-k91 ,,,I actually thought I had blood running out my ears, had to yell at the ol' lady to fetch my shooting 'muffs' from behind the truck seat, ( but it printed phenomenally tight groups,offhand @100yd)
I went home and laid the sawzall to that unholy b.a.t.f. required casing-liner muzzle attachment.
