Is this a gun shop/shooting range talk thread?
This story was related to me by a guy who works at the local shop-
Someone buys a Hi-Point, takes it home and "cerakotes" the slide flat dark earth. Puts it in the oven to cure. Next stop was back at the gunshop to purchase sights because the original sights had melted during the curing process.

I’ve been in gun shop that stocked banana clips for customers.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.
It’s been zero days since I had a loaded gun pointed at me.

It's been zero days since a gun shop clerk told me about the 2 lb aftermarket trigger in the Glock he was carrying, and how awesome it is when "you really need to make the shot".

Last time I was in a gun shop a local PD officer said his Rangemaster told him that spreading rounds out is better than tight groups because they'll bleed out faster.
One of my programs former instructors was teaching us the same thing even though it goes completely against what our parent agency stresses.
While I often suspect that such concepts (along with “combat accuracy”) are simply a way to rationalize being a bad shot - I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. The guy was a former Fed Marshal and I have no doubt he did his job well but a good cop does not always equal a good firearms instructor.
