			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week we travel up to New Hampshire and are joined by the recently retired Chief of Police of Grantham, Russ Lary. Together we visit the Ruger plant where they make all of the long guns and revolvers. Our focus is mainly on the <a href="http://www.ruger-firearms.com/SR556/features.html">SR-556 </a>but we also check out where the other guns are made; particularly the LCR. We have pictures of hundreds of guns getting ready to ship, there’s no shortage here, they’re making them as fast as they realistically can. They have a new manufacturing paradigm at Ruger, now they can rapidly ramp up production on the guns that they have more orders for. For instance the 10/22s are turned out at a rate of 2 rifles per minute, while the manufacturing cells of the less ordered guns may have one or two people working in them.</p>
<p>We shot two different SR-556s at two different ranges with excellent results at both sessions. The guns ran smoothly, even with rapid fire, we got good groups and we experienced no malfunctions at all, with several different types of ammo.</p>
<p>In the second segment we talk with Russ about his opinion of the SR-556 and what he thinks of the rifle’s future in the military and law enforcement, despite the fact the company is only marketing to the civilian market right now.</p>

<p>First is Denny Reichard <a href="http://www.sandburrgunranch.com">Sand Burr Gun Ranch</a> who specializes in the Smith &#038; Wesson revolver. He is the owner  in Rochester, Indiana. A great place to shoot, buy guns, get guns fixed or just hang out.  This interview was done in an open barn so please try to ignore the annoying bird.
We also talk to Ray Saltzman who specializes in the 1911 and high performance rifles. He can be reached at:</p>

3896 South 400 West
Tipton, IN 46072
<a href="mailto:sgwi@tds.net">sgwi@tds.net</a></p>
<p>We also talked briefly with a representative from ATK about the current ammo shortage back in April when we were at the ILEETA conference, seems like not much has changed since then.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi, folks &#8212;  </p>
<p>To fill in our podcast notes on the Hi-Power episode, #28, the first thing we have to tell you is that we neglected something so basic to Browning Hi-Power shooters that all the experienced people who fit that description on the podcast forgot to mention it.  While the gun has always been listed as a fourteen-shot pistol (thirteen in the magazine, one more in the chamber) Team ProArms goes with the collective wisdom that it is usually wise to download the magazine by one.  Mas notes that when he was in England, British SAS troopies told him they were penalized a day without pay for each Hi-Power magazine they were found carrying with more than twelve rounds.  Apparently squeezing in the thirteenth round not only makes reloading difficult with the slide forward (no flex left in the magazine spring due to densely packed cartridge stack), but for the same reason causes additional friction drag between the topmost cartridge and the bottom of the slide as the pistol cycles after the first shot.  This, characteristically, causes a jam between the first and second shots. While it doesn’t happen with all Hi-Power magazines, it has happened with so many that we recommend downloading to twelve per mag.</p>
<p>Jargon Alerts:</p>
<p>The magazine article Mas is heard quoting from is one that he wrote several years ago for the magazine The Accurate Rifle. The article is <a href="http://proarms.podbean.com/mf/web/8gx6e/BrowningHighPower.pdf">here</a>.</p>
<p>“Flinger-Dinger” is the local terminology (in Suwannee County anyway) for what is more commonly known as the Rotator target.  For complete description go to the link provided here for <a href="http://www.safedirection.com/reactivesteeltargets/rotator.html">Safe Direction</a>, the steel target company run by Steve Camp in Illinois.</p>
<p>To add to the confusion, two men with the same name come into play here.  The other Stephen Camp is the Browning Hi-Power authority who runs the website <a href="http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com">hipowersandhandguns.com</a>, which all of us at Team ProArms strongly recommend.</p>
<p>CAVIM is the acronym for the Venezuelan company that manufactures very hot NATO spec 9mm Parabellum ammunition.</p>
<p>Ed Lovette, mentioned in the podcast, is a former CIA operative and current writer and trainer whose work appears in Combat Handguns magazine. We here all know Ed and strongly recommend that good gun people become familiar with his work.</p>
<p>The two gunsmiths most prominently mentioned in the podcast for top-level “carry gun” Hi-Power modifications are Wayne Novak at <a href="http://www.novaksights.com/novak_custom_browning.htm">Novak’s .45 Shop </a>in West Virginia, and Bill Laughridge (pronounced “LOCK-ridge”) who owns the <a href="http://www.cylinder-slide.com">Cylinder and Slide</a> Shop in Nebraska.</p>
<p>The manufacturer of the Hi-Power <a href="http://www.22lrconversions.com">.22 Long Rifle Conversion Unit</a> that was mentioned is Jonathan Arthur Ciener.</p>
<p>For information on the Polite Society combat match and Tactical Conference, go to <a href="http://www.rangemaster.com">www.rangemaster.com.</a>  Gail and Mas both went this year and found it pleasant and instructive, and Gail took High Lady honors at the match.</p>
<p>The book mentioned as the best reference on the topic is “The Browning High Power Automatic Pistol” by R. Blake Stevens, published in 1990 in Ontario by <a href="http://www.collectorgrade.com/bookshelf1.html">Collector Grade Publications</a>. Also of interest is “Inglis Diamond: The Canadian High Power Pistol” by Clive M. Law, from the same publisher.</p>
<p>This podcast came directly from listener feedback that we received at the ProArms section of GRRN, Gun Rights Radio Network.  We’re eager to hear your feedback, and your ideas for future podcasts. One we’ve already decided to do and are planning for, at listener request, is an episode focusing on the AR15.</p>
<p>Oh…and don’t forget to stick around at the end of the podcast for the comments by <a href="http://foxforum.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/blagojevich_rod.jpg">Rod Blagojevich</a> and his wife, <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2008-12/43801659.jpg">Patti</a>.</p>
<p><strong><em>Parts made in Belgium, gun assembled in Portugal, this Mark III Hi-Power 9mm is currently available at ProArms and is an excellent example of current “best of breed.”</em></strong>

<p><strong><em>This is Mas’ 7.65mm (.30 Luger) Hi-Power, bought for teaching and carrying in a South American nation where out-of-country concealed carry permits are available, but no one except local police and military can carry anything larger than .32 caliber.</em></strong>
<img src="http://proarms.podbean.com/wp-content/blogs2/41827/uploads/028_B.jpg" alt="028_B.jpg" title="028_B.jpg" width="400" height="266" border="0" /></p>
<p><strong><em>This is Mas’ Browning Hi-Power 9mm customized by Bill Laughridge at Cylinder &#038; Slide Shop. He has carried it from Washington State to England to South Africa.</em></strong>

<p><strong><em>To our knowledge, the only “made in USA” Hi-Power, from Charles Daly. Sights are XS Express.</em></strong>
<img src="http://proarms.podbean.com/wp-content/blogs2/41827/uploads/028_D.jpg" alt="028_D.jpg" title="028_D.jpg" width="400" height="266" border="0" /></p>
<p><strong><em>Original style Hi-Power burr or rowel hammer configuration pinches web of hand upon firing, as shown.</em></strong>
<img src="http://proarms.podbean.com/wp-content/blogs2/41827/uploads/028_E.jpg" alt="028_E.jpg" title="028_E.jpg" width="400" height="266" border="0" /></p>
<p><strong><em>Spur type hammer just misses hitting average size hand of this male shooter. Shortening hammer spur will save bigger hands from impact.</em></strong>
<img src="http://proarms.podbean.com/wp-content/blogs2/41827/uploads/028_F.jpg" alt="028_F.jpg" title="028_F.jpg" width="400" height="266" border="0" /></p>
<p><strong><em>IDPA Five-Gun Master Jon Strayer shoots his Hi-Power.  Spent casing is going past head but gun is still on target.  Controllability is one thing master shooters love about this gun.</em></strong>
<img src="http://proarms.podbean.com/wp-content/blogs2/41827/uploads/028_G.jpg" alt="028_G.jpg" title="028_G.jpg" width="400" height="266" border="0" /></p>
<p><strong><em>Mas demonstrates how to lower hammer of Hi-Power without inserting a magazine or removing  magazine disconnector safety. Seen from above with slide removed for visibility, right hand is holding gun-frame, left hand middle fingertip pad is pressing the disconnector forward. Without magazine, hammer will now fall when trigger is pulled.</em></strong>

<p>Another Episode from the road, This time at the <a href="http://ileeta.org/">ILEETA</a> conference in Wheeling IL
</p>
<p>We have 3 interviews. First we talk to Lou Ann Hamblin a police trainer who, we found out the next day after we did our interview, won the <a href="http://www.policeone.com/police-trainers/articles/1813630-News-from-ILEETA-Lou-Ann-Hamblin-is-the-Iron-Cop/">Iron Cop Competition</a>. She discusses a couple of women Police Officers that she uses as examples of officer survival and staying in the fight. Below Are links to more information about them.</p>

</p>
<p>Next, we talk to the inventor of a new product the <a href="http://www.trainsafe.us">Train Safe</a> a firearm barrel block that gives everyone visual evidence of a disabled firearm even with chamber closed. I thought this would be great for dry-fire practice and really would have come in handy in a class I recently attended where the instructor swept the entire class, he had checked his gun and I guess we were supposed to take his word for it because he stood by his technique even when called on his unsafe behavior. I don&#8217;t even like guns that I have checked myself to by pointed at any part of my body. A product like this could eliminate that problem.</p>
<p>Finally we talk to Ron Borsch who has researched Active-Killer shootings and analyzed the results, his conclusion is that 50% of these shootings are stopped by unarmed citizens and another 25% are stopped by armed citizens. He challenges the police department policies that prescribe that officers wait for orders before entering a building with an active-killing in progress. It is a very interesting discussion that although what he teaches is for police officers only, there are significant implications for the armed citizen. We include his <a href="http://proarms.podbean.com/mf/web/7mafik/Borsch001.pdf">handout</a> with his permission.</p>

<p>Next we, we have recent interviews with two very special women. First you&#8217;ll meet Kate Krueger, who owns Derby Guns in Scottsdale, Arizona and has flourished in a world where gun shops are traditionally run by males.  Finally, hear the inspiring story of 21-year-old Anna Gunter&#8217;s journey into both armed and unarmed combat skills, and how she, alone, backed down a gang of punks who approached her with obvious nefarious intent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With uncharacteristic whimsy, the ProArms Podcast team accepts <a href="http://www.blackmanwithagun.com/site/cpage.asp?cpage_id=140022141&#038;sec_id=140000845">Kenn Blanchard’s Zombie Challenge,</a> a reminder to us all that we’re allowed to have fun with guns.  Be sure to check out the embedded YouTube videos: some shooting was too visual for an audio format.  Learn where to aim, how to tell a REAL zombie, and decide for yourself from example whether it’s best to shoot zombies with a suppressed Uzi, a shotgun, or a sidearm, or just throw your empty gun at ‘em, or bayonet the moldy things and be done with it!  All live-fire shooting sequences are timed and unedited.</p>

		<itunes:summary>With uncharacteristic whimsy, the ProArms Podcast team accepts Kenn Blanchard’s Zombie Challenge, a reminder to us all that we’re allowed to have fun with guns.  Be sure to check out the attached YouTube links: some shooting was too visual for an audio format.  Learn where to aim, how to tell a REAL zombie, and decide for yourself from example whether it’s best to shoot zombies with a suppressed Uzi, a shotgun, or a sidearm, or just throw your empty gun at ‘em, or bayonet the moldy things and be done with it!  All live-fire shooting sequences are timed and unedited.</itunes:summary>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Woo-hoo!  Here’s our second and final podcast out of the 2009 SHOT Show in Orlando, Florida.</p>
<p>Good news: we got some GREAT, exclusive interviews with heavy hitters in the firearms world!</p>
<p>Listen to Scott O’Brien, head of <a href="http://www.safariland.com/">Safariland</a>’s combined products group, explaining why an era has ended and Bianchi holsters, that once competed with Safariland holsters, will now be “Bianchi by Safariland,” etc. </p>
<p>Listen to Charles Brown, speaking for <a href="http://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/">Hi-Point</a>, <a href="http://www.charterfirearms.com/">Charter Arms</a>, and Chiappa explain where those manufacturers position those “entry level” guns, and why.  (Hint: you’ll be surprised at how much of the market share Hi-Point holds.)</p>
<p>Listen to Justin Moon, designer of the <a href="http://www.kahr.com/">Kahr</a> pistol series and head of the company, tell the story of the Kahr product and introduce you to their new, ten-ounce, mini-.380 pistol.</p>
<p>…And, finally, listen to The Great One, multiple time world champion <a href="http://www.robleatham.com/">Rob Leatham</a>, tell his own story as it has never been told before!  Be prepared for gun advice from the World Champ that may shock you!</p>
<p>Bad news:  we did the interviews amid a Tower of Babel of almost 50,000 people talking simultaneously in a convention center, with all sorts of electronic interference.  Yes, you’ll be able to hear everything that was being said…but not, it won’t have the sound quality of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing in a studio.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finally we present our much awaited, much requested episode on Crimson Trace Laser Grips and Sights. We all use them for a variety of purposes and hope we can answer some of our listener questions here.</p>
<p>First we’ll start off with a link to Crimson Trace so you can see just what we are talking about:
<a href="http://www.crimsontrace.com/"> http://www.crimsontrace.com/</a></p>
<p>Chris Christian could not be with us on the day we recorded so we are posting what he had to say here:</p>
<p><em>
Many shooters find that with just minimal practice the CTC sights can be instinctual to use in a stress situation.
You know that I’m a well trained shooter, practice regularly, and am always among the Most Accurate at the one or two IDPA matches I shoot each month. I know what iron sights look like, and how to use them I also have CTCs on three &#8220;working&#8221; guns. The CTCs are zeroed, but I don’t practice with the lasers much at all ( I may go months without firing a single round with them).Virtually all my practice is with my iron sighted match guns.
NOW.. WITH ALL THAT SAID&#8230; When I went through LFI 1 last year we did the video &#8220;Shoot/Don’t Shoot&#8221; drills. Steve’s J-frame (empty) with CTC was the gun we used. There is a significant degree of stress facing the video with the whole class watching. Your conscious mind is attempting to evaluate the situation and take the proper course of action. The first scenario I faced was the old fart with the crowbar at the back of the house who suddenly turns and charges you with it raised. It happens very fast! I quickly double tapped him in the upper COM (Sniper’s Triangle, Golden Triangle, whatever you want to call it). Steve commented &#8221; Good hits.&#8221;
I knew they were because I could see the laser. BUT I DO NOT CONSCIOUSLY REMEMBER SEEING THE IRON SIGHTS. When that threat materialized quickly, under stress, the gun was properly presented to the target and that bright red dot became my immediate sub-conscious focus point. It overrode years of iron sight training. It completely dominated my sub-conscious mind and the double tap hits were instinctive. If the laser had not been present I would have made hits with the iron sights&#8230; but not as fast, and not as accurately.
My experience&#8230; and my opinion&#8230; is that a shooter with some level of training will bring the gun on target, and seek some degree of sight picture/sight alignment. If the laser isn’t visible due to light levels or background it is a non-factor, ignored by the sub-conscious, and iron sight training takes over. If the laser is brightly visible it seems to AUTOMATICALLY OVERRIDE that&#8230; sub-consciously&#8230; and becomes the focal point. And, it doesn’t seem to take a lot of training to have that occur. When things happen quick &#038; close that bright red dot will drive the sub-conscious mind,
Just a thought.
Chris</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s our last episode of the year and it is Magnum sized, so big that we had to divide it into two parts so be sure that you get both parts! (A double-barreled podcast, so to speak.)
In response to lots of listener feedback and questions we thought that we would discuss the shotgun for home defense. 
We did a lot of shotgun shooting last week in an LFI class and we did some testing. We compared the use of the 12ga. vs. 20ga. shotgun for home defense with some commonly available and similar loads. Both shotguns were fired at a distance of seven yards from the target.</p>
<p><em><strong>The first Picture is from  a 20ga.  shotgun loaded with #3 Buckshot:</strong></em></p>
<p><img src="http://proarms.podbean.com/wp-content/blogs2/41827/uploads/20GW.jpg" alt="20GW.jpg" title="20GW.jpg" width="420" height="717" border="0" />
<strong><em>Second picture is from a 12 ga.  Shotgun loaded with #4 Buckshot:</strong></em>
<img src="http://proarms.podbean.com/wp-content/blogs2/41827/uploads/12GW.jpg" alt="12GW.jpg" title="12GW.jpg" width="420" height="703" border="0" /></p>
<p>The subject of the Taurus Judge came up in our discussion of the .410 load. This picture was also posted on the forum but it bears repeating here:</p>
<p><strong><em>This pattern was fired at five feet from the Judge with a 2 ½” .410 birdshot cartridge.</em></strong>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The ProArms Team discusses the 10mm. Mas covers the History of the 10mm and the group discuss the various guns and cartridges available. </p>
<p>Next we listen to a gentleman who was involved with the Harold Fish case from Arizona. Harold Fish defended himself from an irate attacker, while walking on the Arizona Trail, with a 10mm Handgun and is currently in prison after being found guilty of Second Degree Murder.  In the court case the 10mm pistol he used was demonized as well as his choice of hollowpoint ammo for it. We’re not telling you don’t carry a 10mm or don’t carry hollowpoints, we’re showing you an example of how you can be doing everything correctly and still be in trouble. JR Robie was Harold Fish’s Concealed Carry Instructor. Check out <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15199221/">MSNBC</a> for their story on Mr Fish and don’t forget to check out the evidence pictures. <a href="http://www.haroldfishdefense.org/hfstatementpostsentence.htm">Read Mr. Fish’s statement</a> at the sentencing hearing, imagine how this could happen to any of us. J.R. tells us what he knows about Harold’s story and a little bit about this case. <a href="http://www.haroldfishdefense.org/">Mr Fish is appealing
his case</a> and could use all the help he can get.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week The ProArms Team tackles the &#8220;High-End&#8221; 1911 Pistol. You know which ones they are, the ones we all covet. Well. between us we managed to get together a bunch of them and review and discuss their virtues. After we recorded this episode we found out that the Morris Custom Pistol the we opened the show with now goes for $10,000 not the $6,000 we estimated it at. </p>
<p>Once again this episode is rich with links so I will post them all here: </p>

<p>In addition we talked about our <a href="http://www.sabredefence.com/index.php">Sabre Defense</a> AR-15s that some of us seem to think are appropriate BBQ Guns. </p>
<p>Herman gives us a little post-election insight about supporting our Pro-gun organizations. They need our help and support now more than ever. Consider joining or extending your memberships in those national groups  and find your local groups and join them if you are not a member already. The ones that Herman mentioned were:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nra.org/home.aspx">National Rifle Association</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The ProArms team tries something different for this episode. Normally our producer (me) spends a lot of time editing each podcast, taking out the umms, ahhhs, creaks and any bad words that might occur. This time we are presenting it to you in all its unedited glory. Don’t worry; it still has a PG rating. Sometimes we talk at the same time and interrupt each other. Here you will see what one of our recording sessions really sounds like.  Go on over to the Gun Rights Radio forum to let us know if you like this episode;  just click the box in the upper left hand side of this page to get there.  We talked about so much in this podcast all the links are listed below along with a couple of gun specific fora that may be of interest to aficionados of a particular brand. </p>
