I have myself a Smith &amp; Wesson Model 22A just for recreational shooting and I feel that they wouldn&#39;t be able to use it for defense purposes in a jam.</p> <p>Does anyone have any suggestions or have been in this position before? Would be a major relief for me to have a piece of mind in this situation.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/topic/flashlights#post-173 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 23:40:03 +0000 Nckkangrga 173@http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/ <p>This is a topic that is talked about around my parts ALOT more then most will admit. I believe the reason is because there are SO MANY different types of tactical flashlights on the market today. Many, including myself, have also dealt with flashlights which performed GREAT for the first few months and then began draining power FAST, or just not as reliable as it used to be. </p> <p>What do you guys think? For tactical, home defense, in your glove box, or in your back pocket, which flashlights are you guys using? How long have you been using it and why did you choose that specific light? Do you believe a light with the &quot;strobe light&quot; feature is worth the money or not?</p> <p>Share your experiences!</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Nick- </p> http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/topic/personal-defense-knife#post-448 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 12:27:16 +0000 klopesw 448@http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/ <p>I know that it´s a lot to ask but I would need some recommendation for a personal defence knife. I need a knife that I can carry concealed in center line carry and is suitable for self-defence. I would like to hear some specific models that I can check out and then decide. Thank you!</p> <p>-HP </p> http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/topic/body-armor#post-981 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:51:12 +0000 dmdmx2 981@http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/ <p>I was watching the new Palm video of their body armor lineup. In it they are indicating that soft body armor is available to the general public. I was under the impression that body armor is <strong>only</strong> available to law enforcement and licensed security personell. When did it become available to the general public? </p> http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/topic/knife-impact-weapon-tactics#post-531 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 21:11:07 +0000 REDHAWK44357 531@http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/ <p>I came across an article on using the pomel of a combat folder as an impact weapon as a prelude to opening the blade. Could someone design drills or a stradegy using this method? practical suggestions? I found that my gerber combat folders would be useful in this reguard since the blade is even with the handle when closed. Some on my benchmades could also be used. I am thinking of making this part of my self defense plan. </p> http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/topic/concealment-holsterswhats-your-flavor#post-69 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 19:46:38 +0000 cshoff 69@http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/ <p>I thought this might make for some informative and interesting discussion. It seems that everyone has a particular brand or style of concealment holster they prefer for daily carry. What kind of rig do you use most often? Belt, holster, and handgun? </p> <p>I&#39;ve been carrying my primary carry piece, a SW40GVE, in a IWB holster made by a St. Louis company called <a href="http://www.kholster.com/">Kholster</a> for the past year now and have been really happy with it since day one. I use a Wilderness Tactical Instructor 5-stitch belt to keep everything nice and secure to my person. Spare mags are usually riding in a Bianchi Accumold pouch, or sometimes a single mag will tag along alone in a left rear pocket. </p> http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/topic/benchmade-pen#post-527 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 11:26:39 +0000 waddy 527@http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/forum/ <p>I just watched part 1 of the video on using the Benchmade Pen. Where is part 2? Also, I just went to the Benchmade website, and can find no mention of the pen. Does anyone know what is going on? </p>
