I am considering finally taking the plunge and getting my first NFA firearm. I want an SBR, but not for the reasons normally given. I love back country squirrel hunting. For years I used a lightweight rifle. a few years ago I switched to a handgun. this was great for the walk in, but my skill...

After reading this thread, I had to go through some old rangebooks to make sure I wasn't lying, but 12 years ago I had a few starving college student friends who bought Hi-Point handguns for 80 some dollars out the door. The price alone was reason enough for me to discount them. After several...

This should probably be a separate thread, but on a related note, one of My personal nightmare scenarios is finding someone in my home, but not having the need to fire. For example; from whatever beginning you can imagine you end up seeing someone in your living room trying to make off with the...

I think it is important to point out to those who contend that being polite could encourage predatory violence, that there is a difference between being polite and being submissive. While working in a correctional facility, one of the older staff members was constantly encouraging the younger...

Depending on the budget of your club, the most beneficial activities I've been involved in have been fun gatherings sponsored by the club that involve firearms. For example, we sponsored a GSSF match at a local indoor range and allowed students and their families to shoot free with firearms...

The data covers just over 10 years ending in 2010 Most of the ND's were ccw holders shooting themselves (GSW has to be reported by the hospital) It is only 63 shootings, many apparently had shots fired at more than one range ( I guess this is because of multiple targets or movement or both)

I acquired some interesting information from a friend who works for a states Attorney General’s office. They have tracked shots fired by CCW holders in the state in self defense, criminal acts, and negligence. Of course this data only includes those incidents reported to police, but it is still...

There is no such thing as the best anything. as for book recommendations on this topic try the following: No Second Winner, by Bill Jordan Bullseyes Don't Shoot Back, by Rex Applegate Stressfire, by Massad Ayoob Sharpening the Warriors Edge, by Bruce Siddle Surgical Speed Shooting, by Andy...

I haven't read the new book, and I am not by any means a fanboy, but LFI 1-4 were the most useful classes I've ever attended and I have given a copy of In The Gravest Extreme to every new shooter I have encountered that was interested in CCW. Books can certainly be of great benefit in learning...

This change, however, is not without it's problems. My meticulous nature leads me to treat said problems the way I deal with most problems. Collect as much data as possible, statistically analyze the data, then choose an appropriate course of action. I just posted here to see if anyone else had...

It is all about seeing the sights, I can point shoot faster, but accuracy is unacceptable beyond 5 yards for smaller targets, beyond 10 for anything smaller than a small barn. but there does seem to be a direct correlation between my ability to point shoot at a target and which method works...

I must have missed the boat on this one. I thought the OP was asking not about what would be minimal to survive, but about what would be minimal to be happily able to do everything you want to do with a firearm currently. including shooting sports, hunting, Personal and home defense, emergency...

I just went out and shot a series of 10 draws each way shooting at an 8 inch plate at 10 yards using an Ashley's Express 24/7 big dot sight equipped Kahr tactical .45. there was no real Time difference between the 2 methods with this gun and holster, and the press out method was slightly more...

Quote: my right hand basically performs a full speed full power right cross So you don't punch straight out with your arm, but it describes a curve on the way out That sounds worst than if you bowled it out...at least you'd be vertically aligned with your target Cross not hook. straight...

Looking back at old range books, Is seems that the difference may be directly related to eyesight. at 24 with 20/10 vision in my dominant eye, I could track the front sight even during recoil. Now, with 20/40 vision in my dominant eye, the sights are just a blur during recoil. At 24, shifting...
