It is with deep grief that I hear about the death of Louis Awerbuck. I had thirteen classes with him. He was one of the most excellent teachers, preparers, that I have ever had—in any discipline. ...
That may be your experience, but it doesn't hold universally. Grauffel shoots Production, too, with his index finger on the front of the trigger guard and still kicks everyone's a$$. One should...
While I would never use the phrase "settled science"--all scientists ought to be fallabilists--I do agree with George that the 9mm 1911 has the reputation of being one of the most problematic 1911...

Eric Grauffel said that it adds 0.05s to the reload. I have very small hands, but have removed all of the extended mag releases from my guns. They're too easy to hit when you don't want to hit them...
I have pain in both of my elbows at this point, though in the inside upper arm on the right and in the outside lower arm on the left. Mine is caused by practicing draw strokes, not recoil. When I...
But is that important, practically? An Open gun works great, putatively, with a dot WAY above the bore.
...and a C-More has a much larger, more forgiving lens than the smaller red dots people are mounting on slides. As for red dots somehow not working in principle when moving quickly or erratically,...
Not all of us are firearms instructors. Some of us work in environments that are so nonpermissive that discovery might mean arrest, loss of livelihood, or the ability to secure future livelihood,...
As I've discussed with GJM, I get a malfunction rate of about 1 in 100 when I use a G20 magazine in an otherwise reliable-as-a-rock G29, with multiple types of ammunition and multiple G20 magazines. ...
Wasn't Massad Ayoob teaching this grip 20+ years ago? I'm positive it's in one of his books, though I don't have it in front of me to give you a reference. This is not to say that it's not a good...
Do we all agree that this "stutter" is the same thing as "trigger freeze," i.e., not releasing the trigger to the reset point? If so, I have never noticed a direct relationship to finger placement,...
I don't use it myself, at least not yet, but you might want to check out Jerry Miculek's J-frame-specific technique at http://www.shootingusa.com/PRO_TIPS/MICULEK2/miculek2.html.

A HITT class doesn't have a specific curriculum that's repeated class after class; it's more like a "special topics" class for which Louis comes up with a lesson plan for the areas to be covered for...
I zero them at 15 yards. Indoors, my range is only 50 feet; outdoors, I can't see the laser well much further than 15 yards in bright sunlight. My irons are zeroed at 25 yards.

I always liked these loads out of an all steel full size gun. A couple of years ago, I ran a controllability test using at least 9 different gun/load combinations. The full size Super with the...
I finally got a chance to test the Bufffalo Bore 147gr loads today. Previously, I've fired a 1,000 round case of Georgia Arms and maybe about 200 of my own reloads loaded with the 147gr Gold Dot...
Louis Awerbuck teaches exactly the same thing. I ended up choosing both of the positions you did, for the same reasons. My hands are very small, too, making, e.g., the Rogers very awkward.
I...
I bought each of my girls a .22 rifle when they turned 8. My thoughts were along the lines of giving each of them a rifle they could use into adulthood and pass along to their own children.
The...
S&W revolvers, at least the larger frames that use leaf springs, are amenable to having excellent triggers. My favorite of my guns is a 625-10 that had a trigger job done by Evolution Gun Works,...
I've never heard of or noticed this distinction with Speer bullets--and I could swear even my reloading components are labeled "Gold Dot"--but it is the case with Hornady XTP vs HAP. Competitive...
Below is a review I wrote a while back for CCW Breakaway slacks. Given my professed love of the 1911 trigger in another thread, I thought it might be interesting for people to see that I don't...
Even from the perspective of pure shooting, there are diminishing returns. I don't know of any top IPSC shooters who go down to free pistol level, where trigger weights are measured in ounces. When...
...but that's part of the point. An assertion was made that a rolling trigger break is _better_ than other types for putatively practical shooting. I pointed out that that opinion isn't shared by...
I understand what you are saying. As I've mentioned to you before, you're description if target to target trigger manipulation reminds me of Jerry Miculek's description of how to work a revolver...
