I don't think I would change from my primacy EDC Glock 9s. I've shot some of the others and see no big increment. I might change away from my J frame pocket guns if I thought my G42 was reliable. I'm...

Went to Cabela's to get out of the house.

Found CCI AR Tactical 40 copper plated 1200 FPS in a 300 round box. Could only buy 1 box as if you wanted more, you needed to be a Credit Card Club...

As I indicted above,

There were events like that - the NTI FOF ATSA village. 360 degree shoot houses with sophisticated realistic targets. Well, scripted and complex FOF with trained opponents....

Binging Bosch, I like it. I lost interest in the books when he became a private investigator, semi vigilante. I was interested in the show that so many of the officers carried 1911s. Don't know if...

Freezing in the animal world works for prey animals. Many predators have visual systems keyed on motion. Staying still causes you to blend in. To get into the weeds, there are two visual systems -...

Going back to just the pistol and if we are talking matches, in most you have already seen a clear set of firing positions and can plan to go off safe as you arrive at the position, in da street...

PS - when I said I put 200 rounds down the square range, that isn't too much. However, I forgot to say recently. That was just a couple of practice sessions. Not the entire package. I found in the...

I dry fired the safety off sequence quite a bit. Before a match, I would do about 10 to 15 reps before starting out for the range with the 1911. Wanted to oil the retrieval pathway in my little ol'...

I read this somewhere and it made sense to me. We practice sweeping off the safety in repetitive draws from the holster in a precise, choreographed motor pattern. Such patterns are programmed in the...

I carry a J frame at times for convenience or dress restrictions. What I did was take Claude Werner's snubby class and then shot said J frames quite a bit in club match IDPA. Must have put several...

Just for info the Dali Lama said:



Can't really fault him, though. He has a different perspective.

Good discussion. Thanks.

Had Glocks and 1911s for years. For the former, manipulating the controls with my trigger finger was no problem and now ingrained. Locking the slide back is not a problem with my right hand. I...

Interesting piece - the question being on whether you could take a life. This has been controversial for years. Ayoob discusses it...

A Mitch Rapp book. A psychopathic electrical genius teams up with Isis to take down the US power grip in such a catastrophic manner that it can't come back up for a year and we all starve and die in...

Yes, the other book has a nice analysis of negligent discharge factors, safeties, etc.

Excellent posts! BTW, if folks are interested in ergonomics of design leading to errors, the classic is:

The Design of Everyday Things: Revised and Expanded Edition Paperback – Illustrated,...

The Museum of Desire: An Alex Delaware Novel

The classic mnemonic device for remembering folks' name came from research on visual imagery. You train yourself to establish a visual image based on the name that incorporates the person's face...

I had a PM9 when they first came out and it didn't run. I had no motivation to play with it, so it traded to a G26. Now, that was a long time ago and I have no experience with the latest versions.

Just for information - here's an interview I saw in my news feed: https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/the-law-professor-who-trained-with-the-dc-police

The Story of China: The Epic History of a World Power from the Middle Kingdom to Mao and the China Dream

Fascinating history back to the beginnings of the state.

I will slightly disagree in a humorous incident. I was playing golf and way down the fairway was a foursome. We wanted to tee off, so we yelled and screamed "Fore" as one should. I was reluctant to...

We have lots of fox in the area. Squadrons of geese - not to divert from memes! Lots of coyotes flipping out some on Nextdoor. Like I didn't have them all over in TX. We do have a bear once in...

Erie County, driving by so I stopped in.

Rifles - 1 10/22, some BP and bolt guns
Shotguns - O/Us and in the library some Churchill pump guns
Handguns - BP revolver, about 5 various Buckmarks,...

No, that was in San Antonio. Erie is a recent move for family reasons. We started in NY, moved to Oregon, then Texas then back to Erie. No scorpions but deer tracks all around the house in the...
