The things I dislike about the platform: The grip is too thick for my medium/small hands. The safety is hard to reach, and prone to accidental activation during immediate action drills. The DA trigger took me a lot of time to get comfortable with. After rejecting the platform for many years...

When I carry a .380, it's loaded with Precision One's XTP. Lots of crummy rounds out there in this caliber. The tests by ShootingTheBull410 and LuckyGunner do a good job of separating the wheat from the chafe.

They're great for certain things. Ammo will go on sale now and then, making it competitive with online buys. I've found one or two good deals on used guns over the years. Once, I bought a Walther PPK that was unreliable. Scheels took it back no questions asked a few days later. It's a nice...

I've had periods where I do a fair amount of air travel to shoot matches or hit the range with friends who live in different states. Sometimes I've had the swab screening after I've been shooting. When I get pulled for it, I tell them I was at the range recently and may come back positive for...

I first put an RMR on a Glock nearly 10 years ago. Of the four guns I carry regularly, the ones I carry most days have Holosuns on them (Beretta 92x Centurion with an EPS Carry and a Glock 43x with a Holosun 407k). Some days I carry a smaller gun without a red dot, either a Beretta 80x Cheetah...

I've owned several 92 variants over the years. The latest was a 92x Centurion purchased in December. After adding an LTT slide, trigger job in a bag, Holosun EPS, and a TLR7 I intend to make it my primary carry gun for as long as I can shoot it effectively.

I go through a mental exercise before each training class to dedicate myself to opening my mind. Every technique, tactic, and habit can be on the table to try something new as long there are no safety issues. If I wanted to keep doing things the way I've been doing them without reflecting on it...

Greg is a very talented author. I read his book earlier this year, and have given out a couple of copies to friends who travel.

Precision One XTP. See the LuckyGunner and ShootingtheBull410 tests and judge for yourself.

No, but I see what you mean. If you'll let me rephrase -- I have yet to reach a point where training has such a diminishing point of return that it's no longer worth my while. First hand experiences sometimes solidify existing views that I have, and other times they change my mind on things...

I see. I didn't mean to rag on you whatsoever. I think we have differing thoughts on training and when it's useful. I've survived 3 deployments and a couple of civilian incidents in the states. Yet I still train every year, because I still have curiosity and a desire to learn. Perhaps one day...

Why would you say that?

Escalation -- Depending on context and use, it may indeed be a move to gain more control over a situation in a way that's reasonable and appropriate. It's not completely dissimilar to the notion that introducing a gun into an encounter is an attempt to gain control over a situation, fight back...

Oh wow. Yeah, I definitely didn't do a good job of conveying my point. To nutshell it: A handheld light should be used as a data gathering tool when one reasonably believes that more data is warranted to help them gain information that could greatly impact their safety.

It sounds like you're speaking out against randomly shining lights on people and object for no reason. While I happen to agree, I'm a little confused. Are you sure you're meaning to respond to my post? If so, can you highlight the part where you thought that's what I was recommending? I'd very...
