midway usa commercial on best defense 1000 point scale

[seeker_two]

I like the CCW segment...it provides a good initial primer for evaluating guns for a beginner...but he does need to add an item or two (weight, reliability, ease of maintenance).....

...I also think he should evaluate knockdown power by the page number where the bullet stops when it's fired into a Midway USA catalog....

I think phone books would be more appropriate, after all, we're only talking about PISTOLS.

When I tested my NAA22LR to check for penetration and expansion I did use a Midway catalog. I was impressed enough to decide it was worth adding it to my concealed carry permit. It put lead into the 500's and ripped pages into the 700's.

New to the site.  Midway has video of this on their page.  I took time, paused the video and copied it for my use. Have it in Word format if anyone is interested.

Stay safe

Welcome Sundance.
Bear in mind, as we have been discussing here, that scale has no value unless you run the tests for yourself. The results are totally dependent on a persons ability and comfort levels with things like recoil. Also, before you even consider the 1,000 point scale, you can eliminate all pistols that are not comfortable in your hand.

Sundance, welcome to the nut house site. I think you'll like it here. If not say so and say why, we love a good discussion. That's why we seem to have anywhere from 2 to 42 discussions per thread (YMMV).

Stop by the new member's forum and introduce yourself a bit.

BTW, I'm sure you'll get takers on the write-up. Thanks.

My 60 gr .22LR's came this afternoon so I did a penetration test using my calibrated ballistic cellulose (Midway Catalog) and I found the lead at page 775. i don't think that's too bad with a 1.125" barrel.

 My biggest objection to using the Midway Catalog is that then you can't browse through it so well, with 411 information who needs phone books ?
