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.
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...
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.
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...
I carried a Beretta 96FS (.40 Cal) on patrol.
It fit my hand nicely and I shot very well with it. There were two things I didn't like about it:
The slide mounted hammer drop safety. I much prefer the Taurus PT92 frame mounted safety/decocker.
The machined front sight. A dovedtailed front...
How do I know? I'm a pistol instructor and, to stay on top of things, I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends.
Rapidly unfolding events combined with the extreme stress of possibly being murdered often causes the unexpected to happen in a time compressed situation, despite training...
It depends.
A double action revolver usually has a longer and heavier trigger pull than an auto pistol, and can it be difficult for some people to operate.
Whereas, the slide of an auto pistol can be a problem for some people to retract. However, this can be solved by using the "push/pull"...
Bodycam videos have revealed that many cops have "shootable" problems with full-size duty pistols, usually caused by poor grip due to the haste of drawing to engage a sudden spontaneous threat. Magazines fall out and stoppages happen at a much greater rate of incidence than what happens on the...
