Small Arms for Self Defense - What to Choose?

Advantages of having their own weapon

In twenty years I have met a good number of security agents after six years of work, purchase their weapon for self defense, so come to feel that they have taken a step forward in their own safety and the workplace. And it's true.



A security officer who has no weapon itself, works for a company that pays a salary almost always small.



But a security officer who bought his weapon, not only strengthens its personal protection for cases of extreme emergency where you need to defend his life, eye, but also is in a better position to negotiate the value of their work.



I will explain this.



If you have own weapon, you can offer your services to communities, factories, industrial plants, commercial firms, directly and negotiate your salary in a better position, since the entities pay you directly you save the overcharges paid when contracting with companies security.



For anyone who wants to engage in work in safety until the end of his days, since I recommend you purchase your own weapon and not just one, at least two.



But that if, buy them legally, in an armory, get the permit from the authority of DICSCAMEC, not carrying a weapon without authorization, without a license.



In Lima there are more than one weapon agents are not licensed.



A gun is no guarantee of safety

No matter what type of weapon used, and how wonderful it is, or his or her tamañote large caliber, high cost or the excellent references that have heard of her, if you ignore the safety precautions and do not train, your weapon will be as useful as a bouquet of flowers when a confrontation. Moreover, it would be better to take the flowers and deliver them to the robbers, and perhaps the happy and do not do anything



There are many myths and legends about the weapons, plus all the views of the world about them. There's been like a shot of 357 grave to a bull, is a defensive gun, the gun is offensive, guns are fired when they fall alone, the gun is for civil use and gun for military use, the semi-automatic pistols are just for professionals, and so on., etc.., etc ...



How to choose a weapon?



The first step in choosing the right weapon it is to forget all that nonsense that you hear and lacks foundation.

The second step is to determine objectively and rationally what use you give it and under what conditions is to use the weapon. For example, if you live in a house in the city and retreat in an isolated place, and you want to use the weapon for the defense, the best thing is a shotgun, but if the weapon is to cover, the choice should obviously be different . On the other hand, the choice involves subjective factors such as taste for one or another kind of weapon and personal comfort factors rather psychological, but undoubtedly affect the time to decide on one or other weapon. Then there are more objective, as the value of the gun, the ease or difficulty in getting selected caliber ammunition, the issue of ports and even the physical configuration of the user





Differences between 9 mm pistol and revolver

Here however the main differences between the two types of weapon.

Simplicity in use. Usually the gun is easier to handle than the gun and require less training, mainly due to the mechanism of charger, slide and generally have insurance that guns which lacks the revolver.

Mechanical reliability. Both types of weapons, especially the modern handguns offer the same level of reliability. Guns in the beginning, had some problems with regard to food and removal of cartridges, which have been largely overcome today.

Size and weight. In both types are achieved for all tastes and colors (believe it or not, the U.S. Springfield factory can strut (finishing) a weapon of pink).

Firepower. The guns are all, without exception, low-capacity weapons. There are some exceptions such as revolvers eleven or nine shots in 22 gauge, but this is an inadequate caliber for personal defense. Most revolvers only have capacity for 5 or 6 shots. The guns, however, may have a capacity of 7 to 20 shots, depending on the caliber and model of weapon.

Recharge time. In a gun will always be faster than reloading a gun. There are some shooters that can reload a revolver almost as fast as a gun, but very few and can do so only after extensive training.

Easy shot. The gun allows the shooter fired more easily because its construction has a comfortable grip and the barrel is lower than the revolver. Also, the trigger mechanism is more sensitive to the gun in the turret, allowing greater accuracy in the shot. When shooting a gun he or upward movement of the weapon is greater than when shooting a gun. In the gun of the recoil is absorbed by the movement of the slide, and it is faster and easier to reconcile a view for a second shot.

How to locate and select a firing range

Firing range there are several in Lima and the provinces, we have the FAP, which is very good, modern. We also have the Revolver Shooting Club in Rimac, where can you play the White Tito, is also in La Molina.

Many new interested in acquiring a weapon, make a thousand problems to find a polygon, but not because they exist, but because they charge expensive.

The courses are no less than $ 250, 8 hrs. per participant.

It is best to have an Archery Instructor Joined the Ministry of Interior, DICSCAMEC. Not with a police or military activity, but with an authorized instructor for the DICSCAMEC for education, training of civilian personnel in small arms within the scope of the private security law and that standard for civil use of handguns.

A retired police or military, is not the right person for this task of teaching others, educate, train, it's just a personal retreat, but is not registered for Instructor DICSCAMEC with your registration form together properly, Therefore, it is absurd to look for ex-police or military to entrust this task.

However, there are police and military have their Registration Form as instructors DICSCAMEC which is right, the best, for greater security

One thing is to teach soldiers to handle FAL, HKMP5, and another to teach civilians how to use a gun for example.

Maintenance of the weapon. Always, for any type of weapon, good maintenance is essential to ensure proper operation, but the gun this maintenance is simpler than the gun, since there is nothing to disarm.

Ease of transport. The gun, thanks to its flat design is more comfortable to carry a revolver in which the drum produces a projection uncomfortable. Likewise, the large variety of sizes of the first models allowed to exist in virtually all sizes. In the revolvers are also found in small sizes, but the downsizing is usually accomplished by reducing the barrel length and load capacity, with the consequent deterioration in the accuracy and firepower.

Security against third parties. If you would snatch the weapon or the weapon recklessly reaches the hands of a child, will be much easier to occur when it comes to shooting a gun than a gun. A child can shoot a gun in exactly the same way as firing a toy gun, while a gun that will at least take the insurance, if you are with a bullet in the chamber. If the gun is completely discharged, steps up to shoot, put bullets in the clip, insert the charger, pull the slide, are more complicated and impossible for a child under 7 years.

Psychomotor ability. If the person is clumsy in movement (hands, for example), you'll want a weapon as simple as possible.

In short, to properly choose a weapon, it is necessary to balance all the technical elements listed above, forgetting most of the false criteria circulating there, so that you can feel completely confident in the weapon you choose.



The criminal and civil liability of those who misuse the gun



Do not forget to be licensed to use firearms, does not authorize you to shoot people. Doing causing physical damage, criminal responsibility shall be arrested and jailed in the case a penalty.

The license sir, is just to carry the weapon, not to kill, attack, attack people, people that if, for thuggery.

A friend told me he was attacked with stones at 4 am by a boy of 21 years drunk and enraged. I asked what you did?

I replied:

I draw my gun and high, making a shot in the air as a warning.

No one in the street, alone Fumone, lazy, and drunk, the boy ran and call to 105 saying that a security officer wanted to kill him. My friend was arrested and condemned for common crimes, to fend off the enormous stones that he threw the lad drunk.



A year later he was acquitted because his conduct did not constitute a crime, there were no injuries, all was but a bad time.



You could also go through these bad times, therefore, not removable unless necessary and dangerous to life.



Smile and be happy, I hope I have contributed something to you that want to buy a gun for personal defense.
