Putting the M1 Carbine in the Right Context

[imarangemaster]

I like the article, EXCEPT he compares the 30 carbine to a 357 magnum. A 30 carbine still has more energy at 100 yards than the average .357 magnum load does at the muzzle. Hornady 110 Critical defense moves at about 2000fps and it absolutely devastating. I am thinking of getting a couple boxes and loading out the carbine with them for my house weapon. Also, Speer Gold dot 100s are pretty darn good, too. Even the venerable Remington 110 JSPs I've used to kill deer well at 100 yards.
