Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Would you ever load hardball for defense?

I will be selling some of the 147 "Predator Penetrator" loads when I get another big batch of new brass in. Also by then I expect that the e-commerce site will be up and you can order direct. I have been so dang busy this last year that I have not had time, so I finally paid a professional outfit to put one together for me.

In testing I found it is pretty impressive against auto glass, sheet metal/car doors etc. When we were having all those problems with the Socialists/Communists dragging people from cars and rioting everywhere, I started carrying these 147 grain loads.

I don't know if other outfits recommend it but I would suggest either a brand new factory recoil spring or an extra power one. Almost every single person's gun (using Glocks as an example) I have inspected has had a spring that, while it cycled the pistol just fine, it definitely needed replaced. Most don't know how to check, or when to replace and don't track rounds.

I myself rarely keep a close track of round counts since I don't shoot competitions like I did when I was shooting in USPSA all the time.


Here is a brick simple short video on how to check and see if you need to replace your recoil spring assembly (RSA).

Personally I buy multiple RSAs at once, that way I always have a new one on hand and a spare ready to go, in case the end of the plastic rod gets chipped. broken, or whatever.



I used to tell people I could either repair 1 Glock 20 times or 20 Glocks, but in case of panic or civil issues, I would not be dependent on anyone.
