  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Is the .22LR the most versatile caliber for urban/wilderness survival.

Come on, now. That story is a little shady. This feral dog is latched onto his wife's arm, attacking with enough ferocity and force to break bones, and he shoots it in the head with a .357? So, this fearsome attack was static enough for him to get a headshot? You said yourself that you'd need to "spray" at a dog, and would only get bad hits. Most dogs shake their heads pretty rapidly when attacking, and with his adrenaline pumping and his wife screaming... I dont know, man.

I'd not be too quick to raise the BS flag were I you if you've never had experience with feral dogs.

I shot a German Shepherd cross off of my own arm several years ago. 2 fast shots from a 1911 with Glaser's did the trick and I had a wicked bruise all the way around my forearm for days.

A Vietnam Vet friend told me he thinks a Marlin or Ruger .22 semi-auto is the best gun to have in an urban riot situation. I noted that it doesn't have a great deal of stopping power. He said "If I have to shoot a POS looter around my house, I WANT him to be able to run a block or two before expiring in some alley. I don't want law enforcement or the looters' homeboys asking about his body on my lawn." Not sure I agree, but it's an interesting perspective.
