Thanks for the input. I decided to go with this setup: http://joby.com/griptight-gorillapod-hybrid It's more expensive than some of the suggestions but has more flexibility and seems less fragile. It also has a one-year warranty.

Thanks Psyopspec!

I want to use my iPhone 6s to video my pistol shooting. I'm hoping it can help me improve my technique. (I'm hoping something can!) I have two sets of questions: (1) Does the "camera" lens have to be at the same level as the pistol or can it be angled to shoot up from below? I don't...

I think the OP did a pretty good job of defining his distinction and why it makes sense to him. He acknowledges the fact that he may not have the same presence of mind in a threat situation as he does at the range. His critics seem to have more confidence that they'll perform as they train.

Bc1023, I hope you're right. Unfortunately, the paragraph on the Sig website describing the P210 says one thing (stainless slide/carbon frame) while the PDF of the brochure for the P210 says something else (stainless slide AND frame).:banghead:

Thanks for the clarification about cleaning. It seems as though the only real difference between a stainless and a carbon steel gun is esthetic, not functional. Which makes coating a stainless gun with a chemical that makes it black seem nonsensical, especially because the internal components...

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like the only real difference is that stainless, not surprisingly, is easier to clean and maintain. I wondered about this because Sig recently began making the legendary p210 in stainless and I wasn't sure why. To me the original in Nitron coated carbon steel...

Other than weight, corrosion resistance, esthetics and cost, is there any differences in shooting or handling characteristics between a handgun manufactured in carbon steel and the same one made in stainless?

A law-abiding gun owner had his pistol license revoked and his pistols and long guns confiscated by Suffolk County, NY because his school-age son and some friends mentioned visiting a bully's house with a BB gun. This is wrong on every level. Here is the link on Long Island Firearms.

OptimusPrime, I think Hickock45 uses the same part of his finger to pull the trigger as you do. At least it appears that way in his review of the Sig p229 http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=relmfu&v=8HKKLbxT8VQ. Mind you he has much bigger hands than I do. Thanks for the input.

9mmepiphany, you make a very good point about the number of DA strokes in a string—normally just one: the first. Actually, the reason finger placement came up as an issue for me was that I was doing a lot of dry-fire practice, which, of course, means that I was always "shooting" double action...

That's very interesting. Does it limit your choice of handguns because of the shorter reach?

I'm trying to decide on the optimal location of my index finger on the trigger of my DA/SA Sig pistol, and would like to get the thoughts of more experienced shooters. The SA pull is very smooth and comfortable using the pad of my finger. I can also use the pad of my finger on the DA pull but...

I agree. Snap caps make me nervous too--even if they're the only ammo-like object in the room when I'm dry firing. I do overcome my nervousness but I'm not sure it's a great idea to repeatedly do so.

Red dot sight would allow your daughter to shoot with both eyes open. Not sure, but I imagine that obviates the cross-dominance problem. My sight (see above) was only about $90 on Amazon.

I'm a novice shooter. I bought the CX4 in 9mm that shares mags with the 92 pistol as a HD weapon that my daughter could use if necessary. (In NYS she can't use a pistol without a handgun license.) I absolutely love the fit and finish of the carbine. It fits me perfectly. Despite limited...
