The baud fundamentals of handgun marksmanship are as follows: stance, grip, sight alignment, sight picture (front sight focus), breathing, trigger control, and follow-thru.

1., Stance - whatever...

I thought about this a bit, and you're absolutely right. My own agency will not fire someone right away. As the firearms program in my little corner of the world is an additional duty, tume, both...

I've had not problem with my Gen IV 26, though it has only run about 400 rounds. Most of the LE agencies that bought Gen IV 9s and 40s seem to have gotten thru the problems and I've heard no recent...

The gritty trigger ion mine disappeared after 200 rounds. The pull is no different than my 2009-vintage full sized 45 . Acceptable for what I'm used to, but still a little heavier than a 5.5lb...

My personal preference is for Heinje sights because they use a serrated front blade on all their sights, plain or tritium. I have used a set of 10-8s with fiber optic and they're good. I like their...

I finally got a set of Heinies installed on my full size 9 that I bought new in July. It has the "one dimple" barrel. Went shooting with it again yesterday. I can't brag about the group size at 25,...

There are a lot of good tools an instructor who draws in his/her LE or military background/experience as part of the course can put in the civilian's tool box. A LE instructor, even if never firing a...

That may be the case with some organizations to some degree or another. I can think of one large depsrtment that no longer qualifies beyond 15 yards because real world data for that department showed...

My criteria is sort of simple: a) did I learn something; and b) did it help me improve.

This is controversial. "Get a Glock 27 for backup so you can use your G22 magazines to reload." There's good and bad to this one. I used to preach it until I got some experience under my belt and...

"The bullets drop so much I can't hit the target at 25 or beyond."

I hear this one as an excuse for felony flinching or dipping. Usually applied to compact 45ACPs or other not-so-pleasant shooting...

I only had time to watch a bit of it, but it is good. I'm hopefully will have time to finish it tomorrow. Scary that troop commanders at company and batallion level don't seem to grasp the self...

I've had a full size 9 since July with around 500 rounds thru it to date with no problems thus far. If it has accuracy problems, I haven't noticed them - too busy dealing with my own lapses of the...

I never cared for the grip shape or thought it to be in any way superior to the old P225. I don't think it is any easy pistol to shoot, especially in 40 or 357 compared to other small packages. That...

Hopefully you'll find the Gen 3 every bit as reliable as the 2 recently purchased a Gen 4 26 and gave had zero issues with it. I have not seen any of the ejection/extraction issues that everyone is...

Mooseheadpiper,

I've been shooting for a lot if years and still have bad days every now and then. What you're describing sounds a bit like you want to jerk the trigger or flinch once in a while. ...

I was sent up to LA during the riots and parltrolled South Central. I was impressed enough with the devistation to the business community that I bought my first AR15 when I got home. I was living...

It became a controversy in the early 90s when I lived in San Diego because there were a number of police shootings that involved threats from edged weapons. The Hollywood-trained crowd believed the...

I haven't shot the lighter (95-110 grain) 38 Special loads for years, but my last experience was with a Colt Diamondback 4 inch and noted the group's were what I rconsidered excessyively wide at 7-10...

My EDCs are Glocks and M&Ps and occasionally a J-frame revolver. I have several .22 and 38/357 handguns, mostly revolvers that I can't let go either because my boys shoot them, they are a future...

I would prefer they start with a quality OWB that can be concealed with an untucked shirt or jacket and work on the basic skills and concepts. After they've got a good understanding if the basics, I...

I've noticed that too. I work for an organization that specializes in operating in civies and has a requirement to train every three months. It's the ones with no military experience who regularly...

I'm basically a little taller than you and still relatively slender considering I don't run anymore, but have used a pancake for a G22 and an M&P 45 with good concealment results as long as I dress...

A good friend once pointed out that it is not a matter of if you'll ever have an AD, it's just a matter of when. If we remember this warning and keep Rule One first and foremost on our mind, maybe...

I have to the take the line,."why invite trouble?" As the recent public specticle of a murder trial in Florida demonstrated, there might be other factors being drug into play that would take...
