Flat Top Front Sights Rule.
It is hard to get a reliable sight picture for elevation , in varying light conditions With round top front sights.
They slow me down if I need precision.

i went LEM and LEM /MATCH Hybrid.
Thumb arthritis compromises hard shooting grip in holster with thumb on lever . This limits cocked & locked. I loathe HK DA and possible strain on finger in...
Do you feel the match/ hybrid LEM has any advantages over DA, SA. Perhaps cold hands, gloves , administrative ?
Best of wishes for a great guy and a great instructor.
When I was a teen , a tall lean older gentleman, 50 ish, told me why he was carrying a 4 1/2“ revolver rather than 7.5” AIWB.
He said he sat down on one of the bent wood chairs they had in the...
I agree entirely, carried Tactical all day AIWB. Hopefully never again.
First of all, GJM is an expert in the HK USP 45 Field Pistol area. I pay a lot of attention to his and Darryl Bolke’s opinions on HK USP and LEM.
I think the USP full size standard is a great...

DB, your thoughts on 870 Tac 14 vs. ,V3 Tac 13 ?
Also general gun set up preferences please ?

I get it, same reason I admire British double rifles, old Sharps rifles etc…..
I really like what was best of kind in its day.
Never liked brass for firearms , weaker than steel, about the same weight.
I agree with your original post.
The broader and deeper your experiences with different types of handgun, the easier it is to shift back and forth with minimal disruption.
When you shift to a...
I have a couple that came in deals, I will destroy them rather than sell them !
Thank you , I had not realized it was a 6 shot cylinder with 2 stacked loads per chamber. I remember L’Amour writing about it.
There was a .357 Quad load at one time, 4 wadcutters stacked, all fired at the same time. They would take the rifling.
I believe it used a .357 maximum case , cut to the length of bored out...
Had a 999 in 1971, it didn’t hold up to a lot of shooting and I always wanted a K .22.
Of the current .22s I like the 4” King Cobra .22. GB has had a fair number sold less than $1000 bid price.

I explain the studies about startle response, sympathetic bilateral hand contraction , pain and falling making hand contract and pull trigger.
