Fiddletown...that's as good a summation of the argument against handload use for self defense as I've ever heard. Thanks from all of us.

The phrase often quoted by of us is: "better judged by twelve, than carried by six". My vote is for neither. Good planning and common street sense always help but may not prevent an incident. Use of factory loads in an arm of suitable but not extreme design will also help. Regards, Rodfac
