It won't make you better in the sense that you will shoot better with a gun that has a bad trigger than with a gun that has a good one, but it can help show up technique problems. That is, a nice trigger can mask trigger technique problems. You can get away with more if the trigger is light...

Correct. The attacker started out by hitting her in the head while she was asleep, so the gun that was inches from her at that point did her no good. On the other hand, if she had been able to access a firearm in the room where she was being held, instead of having to drag a chair to the...

I think you're going to have a very difficult time backing up this claim, but I'd be interested to see what you have. Note that in these cases, the person intentionally pulled the trigger. That is, they specifically intended for the gun to operate/drop the hammer, they just thought it was...

Wanting quick response times with a gun is nothing new. Even many years ago, some were willing to go to great lengths to shave a bit of time off their draw/shoot times. And not just for competition, either. https://www.athlonoutdoors.com/article/rex-applegate-fitz-special/ Yeah, it's a...

That's what I do too. Something like a regular t-shirt/undershirt which I wear tucked in to keep a layer of material between the holster/gun and me and then a regular shirt, untucked as a cover garment. It's comfortable and does a good job of concealing. As far as choices for cover garments...

Right, that's why I said she went to her bedroom to get it. By closer to hand, I mean closer to where she needed it so that she would have been able to get to it more easily during the encounter. As it was, she ended up having to drag the chair to her bedroom, retrieve the gun, then drag the...

It's a good idea to hold upward pressure on the slide release while doing the finger check.

Another thing to consider. I see a surprising number of malfunctions in police shooting videos. Makes me think they have never fired their guns from anything other than a firm two-handed hold while in an orthodox standing position. If you're going to bet your life on a gun, you should do a...

Depends on how much money you have and how much time you want to devote to it, I suppose. I know a guy who moved to Australia for a years-long temporary assignment. He took some of his guns with him. When it was time for him to return, he decided it was far easier and cheaper to just buy new...

An FFL will be required. It may be difficult to find one who will help you. https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-210?language=en_US

Here's a useful resource. They state that the french nail pull (or mark) is a long pull with the serrations, but I've seen it just used interchangeably with 'long pull'. They don't list a crescent pull--they call it a 'common pull', but you can find them referred to as crescent pulls or...

Some advocate poking a finger into the chamber as well. That would probably detect/dislodge a round stuck on the breechface.

That's what I would assume, but sometimes names like that are inaccurate. French fries, for example, supposedly originated in Belgium. It's surprisingly hard to get information like that about knives. Googling "french nail pull", for example, returns only 7 results, and some of those results...

Just based on looking at image results in Google, it seems like the crescent pulls are more common. I don't know that there's a particular advantage to either one--just personal preference. Mine might come from the fact that my folks gave me a nice Buck stockman decades ago and it had the...

It's a clip point blade from something like a stockman pocket knife. It's been sharpened a lot by someone who made no attempt to preserve the original edge profile. It used to have a lot more of a belly and was longer. Maybe a knife like this one...

I've never used it very much, but I have managed to empty at least one can over the years. These days, I would use Hornady One Shot for any application where I used to employ Rem Oil.

Interesting. I learned something new today.

Correct. It's pretty unlikely that Mr. Beck has sworn to defend the Constitution.

Shooting someone is a really terrible idea if lethal force is not justified. I know a guy who killed a large dog with a pellet gun although he was just trying to scare it away--he couldn't believe it when the dog piled up down the street. I watched a video a couple of weeks ago where cops...

Right now, my favorite revolver is my SP101 in .22LR. It's just really fun to shoot.
