That's one county over form me.

I see. So now you're not only arguing from faith, but also from authority? Could there not be the tiniest chance that this discussion is about cognitive development in relations to guns, rather than a simplistic attempt at explaining why people like their guns because "dey just born wid'em?"

Yes, but this term "natural" comes from something. It's not some mystical element, it is a product of learning to THAT point. Well heeled folks who have their gun fitted perfectly still come from a common frame of reference, even if it's just some notion to the effect of "this is how you hold a...

As long as you stubbornly refuse to aknowledge that complex behavior and traditions are a learned behavior and humans are not born with a "gun gene" for individual ideal grippage. Or until I get tired of arguing this.

He must have not learned from a deutsche Lehrerin at a rural elementary school in Germany. 8) I actually had to write right handed in class at all times and well you know ... act right handed at all times. And yes, I only had one teacher.

Interesting you should say that. I learned right handedness from a teacher who thought left handedness was wicked.

Exactly not. Let's ask a guy in New Dheli what a proper mattress feels like, then ask a guy in Kazakstan what a real house looks like and a European what a real lugnut looks like, while asking someone in Japan how they feel about monotheistic religions. I once read somewhere that the...

Quicklike question: The "immersion" bit, how are you incorporating that in a (presumably) mixed audience of LE, private citizen, and .mil shooters? How is it different from a "non-immersion" course? [edit] Oh yeah, just saw this, why a pistol test beforehand? I am curious, since all of my...

O.o No to nitpick, but you may wanna get that looked at. My wife has Reinauld's Syndrome(sp?) and has that. While I (a lover of the warm climes) don't have that problem.

You might find Brazilian Portuguese more useful.

See, this is where in my mind cultural learning takes over. I'm from Germany and had to learn that not every gun is held like a Luger or Ruger Mk I. It is possible you learned that the 1911 is the better grip angle through very subtle influence, and it does hold sway. To this day if I point at...

CCO 1911 for me. In all fairness I have pulled the trigger on my CCO way more than any other firearm, so it just makes sense that it would feel the most natural to me. And I am surprised this specific format of answer isn't more common. 90% of "good grip" is practice for sure.

I use a red snap cap, so if during a press check I see red in the chamber I know it's not loaded. Silver or brass is the indicator for loaded. 8)

I like the "less is more" approach, so I like Beretta. A mandatory lock, extra mag and a fitted case. I don't like carrying suitcases. 8) So to me a box for a gun should be small and unobtrusive, but still cushioned.

Since we can't "upvote" posts I'd say this is spot on. But about this ongoing trend of fear leading people to buy a gun, when I bought my first gun out of fear ... it wasn't pleasant, it wasn't something I wanted to do and I really didn't feel at ease with having it. It wasn't until I shot a...
