IMO, the laser bore sight cartridge gives more intuitive feedback compared to the Mantis app. As you press the trigger you can see the laser dot moving in real time to whatever shooting error you're doing. I have a Mantis X10. I got it at the beginning of the pandemic.

Some real good training with Craig Douglas of Shivworks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_yfwVap3DU

Yes, I'm being sarcastic in that post. If one intends to use a WML then one is obligated to seek competent professional training with that piece of equipment, because, under stress in a fight, there's this thing called "task saturation" that can lead one to press the trigger instead of pressing...

99 percent of folks here probably have never been in a fist fight or grappling fight, and many have never had any formal defensive pistol training.

Well... this is the Handgun Accessories forum, not the Long Gun Accessories forum.

No formal training is necessary. Just buy the light and attach it to your gun. Then watch a couple Youtube videos. I mean, how hard can it be to use a WML under stress?

Attempting trying to press the muzzle into an aggressor's body is the recipe for having to fight to maintain control over your gun. Always shoot from retention position at contact distance.

The Harries technique works quite well. I've used it since the 1980s. See - https://michaelharries.com/harries-flashlight-technique/ Also, the neck index technique illuminates both your sights and your target - no night sights needed.

Get a cheap laser boresight cartridge too (available from Amazon for about $10-15). It stays constantly "on" and allows you to see when you move the gun while pressing the trigger, enabling you to easily see and correct errors in your technique.

Pee Wee Herman? JK. He done Clint good!

I appears to me the gun was loaded with blanks, for whatever reason. The deceased was way too nonchalant after the carjacker stole the truck. Not the kind of behavior I'd expect from somebody that just shot at somebody with live ammo.

It's deformed (crushed due to shear force) as opposed to expanded. The bullet on the right is expanded, where the core of the bullet nose "flows" backward around the shank (due to inertial force).

The bullet on the left didn't expand, it deformed. Yes, its recovered diameter is larger than its unfired diameter but this is the result of colliding with a solid medium, like the front end of a car deforms when it runs into a brick wall. Hitting bone also causes deformation instead of...

The cops in the video are pursing a violent criminal with the intent to seize him, either by arresting him or killing him. Private citizens don't do this. In the overwhelming majority of situations, bad guys run away from defensive gunfire (just like the guys in the videos are doing). The...
