They are an enthusiast tool, it alone will not improve your proficiency. Take a professional class by a reputable instructor THAT goes over proper mounting and best practices. It takes about 3,000 rounds to get close to where you are with irons (per Dave Spaulding whem I took his class and...

I run primarily Wilson and Chip McCormicks but Ed Brown, Les Bear and such will be fine. There are a lot of gun companies that use the same magazine manufacturers (like MecGar ACT etc) but no matter the make they should all fit if you have the right size. Obviously an officers mag won’t fit a...

While nuke 38 special 138 wadcutter is an excellent choice and was popular in snubs when I started (tail end of wheelgun days) and I know 2 Officers that dumped felons the 135 Gold Dot will expand and penetrate out of a S&W 642. I have the pics of the bullets a good friend dirt napped a felon...

The problem as Chuck Haggard pointed out with the vast array of YouTube ballistic gel testers they base their “conclusions” on a one and done or a one bare one with denim and some. To get a good baseline a group of 5 is better. Also some that somt do well in gel habe been really good stoppers...

If I were to add a replacement word it would be make “Deliberate “ shots. As Darryl Bolke says While I get a 6 stage with 28-32rounds per stage at a USPSA match Running half second splits to that .17 splits is gonna add up to a lot on the street .50 splits wins as LAPD SWAT and otherwise has...

As a LE and private citizen trainer that is nit stuck in an Agency echo chamber the biggest culprit is agencies and private citizens settle for good enough on range trips instead of practicing what they suck at. And the HUGE unrealistic large size targets with over sized or indirectly placed...

The go faster fairy is bad!!!!! Look no farther than the vast amount of LE shootings (and some private citizens) on camera. The ones with cyclic split times mag dump and hit nothing but a perps elbow. The ones that shoot 3-7 rounds at a rapid pace almost a cadence of 1/2-3/4 or a second drop...

With the poundage and travel distance in a DA revolver No, Tried in a striker fired (Glocks or etc) Yes In the DA revolver days it wasn’t uncommon for folk's to be trained to start their trigger pull on the draw and homsters even had the trigger and part of the trigger guard exposed. The...

The Trigger guard was Fritz Special pioneered by John Fitzgerald Side note I got to run some rounds out of a Fritz Spexial modified by Mr Fritz himself at Snub Revolver roundup (pre Revolverfest) a couple years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FitzGerald_Special

Verbal judo is better off reserved to handle a spouse…….maybe

Different times I’m old enough to have experienced the days it wasn’t uncommon to take a crook to the ER to get his head stitched up from a whack with a maglight or baton before we took them to jail. While that wasn’t as dramatic as some of the Gunfight stories of the 1930’s it’s sure frowned...

Replace the recoil spring (my son bought a 4 1/4 TRP classic and had an issue replaced the spring and it cured it. And I would try Wilson or Chip McCormick mags while the Mecgar factory ones are ok and I trust them in other makes with 1911’s I generally only trust Wilson or McCormicks And as...

Yeah I am sure the war of the month club won’t be the same without their dear leader! And news crews won’t have to worry about him jumping in front of them for an interview 6 times a day

Funny I just had a conversation by text this morning with John Hearne on optics. I personally don’t get why the Red Dot crowd has such disdain for the iron sight crowd. It’s more about individual abilities. And peoples arguments on “better groups” if it cuts your group by 2 inches at 25...

The trigger pull weight and capacity argument always make me chuckle. While strikers are great guns funny how we could hit C and 10 rings at 50 yards with wheelguns back in the day. But consumers want easy to shoot guns with a short trigger stroke and reset and shorter learning curve As far...

Unfortunately that’s the problem, a lot of women are nieve and believe the men they live. Who we all know are full of BS

He probably kept a round hand-loaded with Rock salt in the old double barrel Too! Oh and yeah he probably advised to alter the death scene investigation by dragging the body inside as well

I ran tevokvers as a duty hunter in the 80’s and 90’s Here is the main issue with why 1911’s were not accepted on a broad scale. Back in the day 1911’s wete pretty mill spec basic and had to be homey modified. Although they ran ball fine the JHP of the early days wete not so dependable. The...

I had a widow (she said) came in for a private lesson and she was an OTR trucker with her husband who was killed several months prior in a truck accident both were in and she was banged up too She went on and on and I just didn’t have the heart to throw the BS flag her husband was a Seal in...

I heard the most cringeworthy comments and thought processes when I worked at an indoor range and gunstore. It’s also where out of the 269 some Navy SEAL’s in Vietnam I met like 700 of them!
