Frequently Asked Questions

How should firearms be transported for competitions that are further than driving distance?

For domestic travel, flying with firearms is an option. Ensure proper lock boxes and storage containers are used, the firearm is unloaded, and carrier protocols are followed. Ammunition is often best shipped directly to the destination to avoid airline restrictions and limits.

Why aren't there more Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs) chambered in 10mm?

Despite interest in 10mm handguns, there's limited market drive for 10mm PCCs. 9mm remains dominant due to its lower cost and widespread availability. While 10mm is an excellent cartridge, the execution of a 10mm PCC would likely see low acquisition rates as most consumers opt for the more common 9mm.

What are the advantages of a suppressed rifle with subsonic rounds over a modern crossbow?

A suppressed rifle with subsonic rounds offers faster and easier reloading, potentially greater terminal ballistics, and superior range consistency compared to a crossbow. The ballistic coefficient of a spitzer bullet provides more predictable performance over longer distances.

How do armies historically manage corrosive ammunition?

Armies managed corrosive ammunition through firearm design features like chrome-lined bores, the use of specialized cleaning solvents that neutralize corrosive salts, and strict training discipline emphasizing regular cleaning to prevent firearm damage and maintain serviceability.

Is Zap Carry still a viable concealed carry method?

Yes, Zap Carry is considered not only modern and viable but also a crucial method for deep backup pistol concealment. It aligns with the principle of redundancy ('two is one, one is none') and is recommended for those seeking a discreet secondary firearm option.
