Does the gun still shoot left when someone else shoots it?

Does the gun still shoot left when someone else shoots it?

Glock 17, Gen 4
Last part says "while retreating" for the last 6 shots.
I'd personally start with SHO 6 shots to the body while advancing, reload, 6 WHO to the body while stationary at the forward line, reload,...
Note also: Often the club contact person is NOT necessarily the match contact person. (Many times, the people who run discipline-specific matches are volunteers who love that sport, and so they...
....um, we are talking IDPA here. "Figuring it out on your own" is pretty much the antithesis of what happens on an IDPA stage.
In USPSA you get to figure it out on your own, but you almost...
I believe you. [sigh] Dang it, the results Todd related matched my preconceived notions really well, so I liked them a lot.
So really, about the only research we have (versus anecdotal evidence...
The thing about this, is that Todd was very specific about how "the study said" trigger pull weight wasn't a factor, and trigger pull length was a factor---he mentioned those two specific things...
You might find that starting to shoot USPSA will give you the impetus to start thinking while shooting. :) (More importantly, you might find that shooting USPSA will force you to start doing it.)
...
Note that they said they expected it to fall again. (Which is interesting...why would they expect that? The people who shot themselves probably wouldn't do it again?)
That was back in 2014. ...
....noting that one conclusion from the original study may be valid but the other not. (I.e., heavy trigger doesn't help, but longer triggers don't either, and perhaps they found this with more...
StraitR, those quotes from Todd are _exactly_ the study I'm looking for, and his commentary on their conclusions (why length may make a difference where weight might not) agrees with my personal...
What German studies? (Not the link from above, correct? Since those didn't discuss trigger travel length. And I've read Enoka's paper on the subject, and it is...interesting. But not what I'm...
In a separate thread, awhile back...

Has anyone by chance found these? Even since I first read something by ToddG mentioning it (it was in a comment thread relating to something he posted his blog long ago) I've been looking for them,...
My experience only:
Changing out the stock RSA (recoil spring assembly) on my G34 and my G17 to a Jager stainless rod and a 13# spring both increased reliability and made for much faster followup...
That right there is literally why the Handgun Techniques class that I teach is a day-and-a-half long, where the first half-day is in the classroom practicing all the basic gun-handling techniques in...
And I see that this new version means that $60 goes directly to the NRA for the online part, with the instructor-led course costing additional money to the student. Since that will effectively be...
I'm left handed, and Glocks are my primary handgun choice.
On all my Glocks I have the extended slide stop. When I reload, I place my trigger finger on top of the slide stop and hold it there. ...
Well, it isn't like you'd have a rifle at all unless you were a first responder, yes? While I think that the comparison is useful, it seems to me that you are comparing two dissimilar things, and...
Just as a comment regarding FO durability:
I use a FO front (Warren Tactical: FO front, black rear) on both my competition gun and my carry gun. In years of shooting and a combined total of over...
Agreed, but wanted to mention:
When I use a SIRT or a blue gun, if I'm not directly demonstrating something, or engaging in a training action, I treat the blue gun/SIRT as if it were real. I...
I'd love to hear more about this also---particularly because what I've seen in classes is that it makes things worse.
Maybe I'm thinking about a different grip. :)
There are some people out...
In IPCS, moving outside of the fault lines during the course of fire is a procedural penalty. In USPSA, you only get a procedural penalty if you fire a shot while outside.
In other words, in USPSA...
What (other than giving more money) is the difference between Life Member, Endowment Member, or Patron Member? I'm all for giving money to a good cause---but I don't actually know what difference...
Most teachers and university staff don't consider self defense to even be a real thing? Really? Um---where are you getting that? Please point to any reputable data showing anything the sort,...
