COLT DEFENDER. Now in 9mm
For years one of my dream guns that I wanted to own someday was the Colt Defender. But, as it was only offered in 45 caliber I stayed away from it. The cost on 45 ammunition was prohibitive and at the time I simply couldn't afford it. I prayed that perhaps someday Colt would offer this fine single action semi-auto in 9mm. And now they have!
I'll soon be crossing this purchase off of my "must have someday" list and will have a new carry weapon upon which I can depend to defend myself and my family.
If you've been searching for a single action semi-auto weapon that is easy to carry and use this should be your next purchase at your local gun shop.

Shooting Distances In Your Practice Sessions
There's been quite a discussion lately about the distance you should shoot while on the range practicing. Here's one of the answers that I've found most helpful as I researched this topic.
“. . . A group that can be covered by a quarter at 11 feet will spread out, but still be under 2″ at 21 feet and just over 6″ at 25 yards. In other words, the exact distance doesn’t matter all that much at the distances where people are most likely to need to use a firearm in self defense. A bad group will be a bad group at 5, 11, or 21 feet and a ragged one-hole group will be a ragged one-hole group at 5, 11, or 21 feet. This principal is why, again, depending on the study, 85% of rounds fired by officers within 21 feet completely miss their target – the distance just doesn’t matter as much as solid shooting fundamentals.”
I hope this helps you as you continually maintain and hone your shooting skills.
