It goes without saying that you should know the location of everyone in your house who SHOULD be there.
And the only reason the police would be there would be if someone in the house had called 911, which should be done immediately after assessing the threat.
Incorrect. The police may be entering your house to help evacuate due to a fire at your house or the house next door that is threating to spread to your house.
Also assuming who should be in your house may cause you to kill one of your children that came home late (you thought they were already home) or came home unexpectedly from college.

One item that has been missing in this thread is identifying your target before you start shooting. Even if you are yelling out that you are armed, the other person may not understand what you are yelling.
Could the person entering your house or bedroom be trying to save your life? Consider LEO or Fireman that are trying to quickly get people out of a house that is on fire.
Or one of kids came home unexpectedly from college.
I read about tragedies where the spouse shot their significant other because they thought they were still in the bed.

I had a .45 GAP pistol back when the cartridge was new... It has never really become popular, but in another sense it is still viable since plinking ammo is available for it, and good SD cartridges. Loaded properly, it outperforms standard pressure ACP (which was the intent), much like the .40s&w replicated FBI 10mm loads... the problem is that the .45ACP is already far more popular than the 10mm was, so replacing it with a shorter case cartridge is of little value at this point. If this cartridge had come out 50 years ago, it'd be a bit different story. As it stands... there's no real market for the caliber, but that doesn't mean it's not a viable option if it meets your needs. The only pistol I am aware of which captures the advantages of the .45 GAP is the G39 (subcompact, same size as G26/27), since it is even smaller than the G30 or G36. But there's really no point in buying a full-size pistol in this cailber, when there are so many more options in .45acp.
I am not trying to start any calibur wars, I would like to know exactly what configuration the 45GAP you consider as outperforming the 45ACP?
Thanks

I have been thinking about how the OP handled this encounter in his apartment. Sometimes a foreigner will pretend to be unable to speak English when the situation is against them.
As it stands, the OP will forever wonder if this was a simple mistake of entering the wrong apartment or someone trying to rob him. If it were a simple mistake, it must have been the first time this person has visit these apartments to see a friend. Otherwise, the person should have recognized immediately that interior of the apartment does not look like his friend’s apartment when he entered the door. In which he should have left the apartment immediately.
Would it have been better to try to detain the person and call 911?
My thinking is that you do not know this person, what was their motive or criminal history. It could be a simple mistake of accessing the wrong apartment. Or maybe not. Were there accomplices waiting near the building or in a car?
By detaining the person, I am not suggesting going hands-on. Using the gun as a pervasive tool, motion to him to get on the floor. Yell GET DOWN while motioning with the gun you want him to lay down.
Of course, if he turns and runs for the door I would not shoot, however I would give chase to my door to see where he goes, if others are involved, get physical descriptions and to call 911.
What are your thoughts?

I thought there were LOTS of motorcycle rallies in the dead of winter during snowstorms. That's motorcycle riding weather right there. You don't have to check your sense of humor at the door.
LOL...TGO forum is not the only internet forum taking the bait and running with this story. At least that is what Al Gore told me..

The 9mm for the Glock. The Glock is totally designed for the 9mm cartridge and there is ongoing discussion about the .40 S&W not being fully supported in Glock barrels.
For clarity sake, all Glock models have the same unsupported design.
Any gun manufacture you choose can experience the Kaboom due to factory rounds that were overcharged or poor brass casing.
Sage advice is to shoot whichever caliber you can shoot the most accurately. My advice is to try them at an indoor shooting range and rent the Glocks in the 9, 40 and 45 and put about 100 rounds through each model.
This may require a few trips to the range, however you will over a period of time narrow which model of gun for a given caliber is best for you.

I work very close to CCA and often eat my lunch in their parking lot. I go in about once a week and look around, talk guns with the customers and employees.
I have always been treated well there. One thing that I have noticed over the 2 years I have been going there is that they have a high employee turnover rate. Most of their guys are young. Young guys working in that environment tend to develope chips on the shoulders.
The crazy amount of business that they do makes me want to open up a gun store of my own, seems the business potential is there.
High turnover rate is usually a sign of employees being treated poorly by management or the owner. Combine that will a high stress work environment and you have the perfect recipe for high turnover.

Thank you for the information of what to look for in a belly band.

It is already against the law for felons to posess a fire arm. so what is the purpose of any background check?....
Without the background checks will allow illegal purchases at a gun store for someone that would be rejected during the background check. Since we have background checks, illegal purchasers have to resort to going to gun shows, buying from private sellers or commit burglary at a home that has gun(s) to get a firearm.
I want to make it harder for illegal gun purchases and the background checks accomplish that goal which is not a waste of money.

Can anyone provide links to recommended belly bands?

I bow to your knowledge learned over at the S&W forum. You might want to read the actual published paper from the FBI. I would love to see the item about the Glock law suit.
The Glock 20 was intoduced in 91 and the 29 in 1997. Well after the trials.
As far as the 1076 goes it was a big pistol and a lot of agents couldn't get their hands around it. Thus causing issues according to my family and friends with the agency. There are still some that carry the 1076 till this day.
You hear the straight poop at FLETC Glynco from the instructors.
Did the FBI consider providing an option other than the 10mm for the personnel that has small hands or found the recoil of the 10mm too severe?
Just reading the TGO proves that one gun size or caliber does not fit or work for all people.

You could beat me in a game of scrabble as I am at a loss of what some of your words mean. Personally I have an aunt that is mentally challenged and no I dont find if offensive in the context in which it was intended. Second, I dont think this is the platform to pick that battle...but thats just my two cents and you cant have a refund.
Wheel of Fortune can help you with one of the words. Or can it?
