I got a kick out of this video when I saw it. Not necessarily as a result of this video, I did get one of the Mr920's because I can make the grip angle closer to the 1911, than the Glock.

I had the good fortune to spend the day with Mr Mireles back in September. Our church security team had him come and speak to area security teams. I spent the day shooting with him and our team. I...

About 20 years ago, I was instrumental in getting patrol rifles approved by me department. We got very few AR's to be issued out. When I was offered one, I turned it down. I said give it to *****....

You are entitled to your opinion.

For me I have a core group of guns that are very similar. I like them equally the same and shoot them equally the same. Tenths of a second on a timer really...

I think your terminology is spot on and for me, far more accurate. I've narrowed my choice in carry firearms down to what I call a "point and pull interface". This is any gun that allows me to...

No people reacted because I said I carry different guns on a rotational basis-THAT is what twisted knickers around here. LOL!!!!

Yeah people sure did make a LOT of assumptions concerning my posts. I simply chose not to explain my purpose for doing what I do and why-it really isn't any of anyone else's business.

Well, well, well look at all the people posting that they carry a variety of guns. Even the naysayers are admitting to even carrying different functioning firearms. LOL!!! Good for them!!!

When I retired, my stress level dropped. My wife commented one day that my face even showed less stress and that I actually looked younger. LOL!!!

I've also realized I enjoy more of what life...

Yes I have. I also understand which reloading technique is more likely to delay being ready to defend myself and which technique will not. I don't need to ask you this question because your comment...

I think the part in bold is my biggest reason for not liking the "tactical reload". I will gladly leave a few live rounds in the mag and have a fully loaded gun to continue if need be. If I have to...

I was involved in two OIS in my career. The first one, I was carrying the issued S&W 65, When the dust settled, I was very glad there were three of us standing. One stood over the downed suspect,...

1) What is the purpose of carrying more ammo. 2) What is the purpose of carrying reloads. 3) What is the purpose of Ayoob's video-the topic of this entire thread.

1) replaces a failing magazine...

I did 27 1/2, over a 29 year period. I wasn't ready to retire, but my body sure was. I retired in 2017 and the medical community has been trying to to fix and put my body back together ever since I...

So you were just trolling. Gotcha............

In the video Ayoob talks about number of rounds and numbers of targets. It sure seems to me...

What gave you the impression I was under the illusion I thought (you fill in the blank, using the term you find most appropriate here: ) targets would patiently wait to be shot. What's next,...

In trying to figure out how many rounds will be enough, I have to concede that I simply cannot know the answer to this. There are too many variables like what if I miss; what if the round doesn't...

By the standards of playing games-no it is not an emergency reload. IDPA is a game and is hardly life and death encounter.

It is good you know your limitations.

The Shadow Systems really got my attention. Their approach to the interchangeable backstraps changes the actual grip angle. Suddenly the "glock" pointed more like the 1911 grip angle. The Shadow...

You make some very valid points!! I share your "unconsciously competent" and consider myself proficient. Claiming what I can do here serves no point. No point because there is no way to verify...

You are correct. The chart does in fact give a range of proficiency. It also lists classifications for shooting games. IDPA for example, penalizes a shooter for conducting an emergency reload if...

[QUOTE=Tamara;1429047]You are not equally proficient with all of them.

Deleted. You are not worth the time........

Based on this chart, I maintain "Performance sufficient to strongly suggest automaticity" with the firearms I carry for self defense.

Define "real proficiency".
