Glad to hear you’ve come to your senses, Mike. Im still waiting to hear what advances you espouse that I haven’t heeded, though. Me too. Bob

Doc, if you really believe that the physical fitness and educational level of modern humans has declined in the last 60 years we are living in different universes.
As to the modern warriors who are all hat and no cattle, actual experience trumps gun camp theorists every time.
mike r Doc is correct and you are full of sh it https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_3293846People Getting Dumber? Human Intelligence Has Declined Since Victorian Era, Research Suggests You just referenced the Huffington Post. Since the Victorian era men have split the atom, walked on the moon and invented the Glock in 9mm. Get a grip. mike r If you like I can show it written by others but the fact is as a whole we've lost 14 IQ points since the Victorian Era You should get a grip Here you go.

Glad to hear you’ve come to your senses, Mike. Im still waiting to hear what advances you espouse that I haven’t heeded, though. It is obvious that you are functioning on a higher plane than any of today's trainers and that further advancement of your martial experience and skills is neither required or desired. With that I will yield the field and remain your humble acolyte. #areallboomersretards? mike r

Maybe that should be changed to "any hit is a good start!" That's a good way to word it Mog. Who ever gets lead in the fleshy parts first gains an advantage. If you do get that initial hip shot it can have the added advantage of cancelling your opponents mobility. Hit to the hip or lower spine, they're not moving so fast.it takes the initiative from them and gives you more options. To clarify, I prefer the term “lateral pelvis” rather than “hip”, and that’s what I’ve been teaching for 20+ years. It works. It’s a relatively large target area, and fracturing the bones there (upper femur and ilium of pelvis) will put a felon on the ground very quickly. Unfortunately, it’s not exactly a non-lethal option, as many people think... the iliac and femoral arteries are right there, and if you perforate those, you can’t apply a tourniquet... I have been told by several cops I’ve trained that they used lateral pelvis shots in OIS with excellent effect. Doc, Thanks for the technical clarification and tip on the iliac arteries. That's a great reminder regarding the biological complexity of that region: ![[Linked Image from 64.media.tumblr.com]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/472cd9aa0cd8920cf91a2753ee9f291c/tumblr_oxtkfeJcoM1tdigezo1_1280.png)

AS, yep.
Example: a really good copper I know personally was a member of the firearms training unit at a major metro department that adopted “my” training in the early 2000’s. I say “my” training, but everything in my school was based on readily available data, so I don’t claim Demigod status here...
Anyways, this cop had a run-in with a car thief and the kid turned on him with a knife. He says the thought that popped into his head was “Waitaminit, Doc showed me that I do not have to kill this kid,”, so he shot the kid in the lateral pelvis. His double tap shattered the kid’s hip joint and all those vessels. The kid almost died anyway, but lived. He lost his leg, though. Doing crime in a wheelchair is hard, kid hasn’t offended since.

I did some training today in the heat. Figure it'll matter more in the long run than what gun/caliber/capacity ever will.... ![[Linked Image from u.cubeupload.com]](https://u.cubeupload.com/Weldedwondersmn/Screenshot2021052109.png) That's wearing my plate carrier with level 4 armor.

[
Jorgei,
They make 15 round steel mags for the G48. My neighbor has them. According to him, they work fine but they are made of metal and from his research you have to change the plastic mag release button to a metal one.jorge, that is true. We were just having that discussion at the LGS this afternoon. One of the guys is a die-hard G48 fan and claims to have put 7,000 rounds through 8 of those Shield Arms magazines in his G48 without a hiccup. He was explaining it all to another guy that wasn't aware of those magazines for his G48. Iirc, Shield Arms also makes the steel mag release. PS- Recommendation was to buy direct from Shield Arms. Wait the one month, two months, whatever, instead of getting ripped off by a distributor.
