Old Fuff:
Yes, I did read your entire post last time (and this time too; for that matter I always read the entirety of your posts.) My only points concerning your valuable contribution were about:
1) Most R.O.s at action matches would be taken aback to say the least at seeing the "hold trigger while dropping slide" technique. As you doubtless are aware this was/is a habit favored by Bullseye shooters, among others mayhaps.
2) The aforementioned method would be less-than-desirable if employed in matches where shooter movement and reloads on the fly were required.
Maybe I was somewhat less than clear, as often happens in these discussions. Also, Falling Plate matches such as mentioned by Jammer Six don't usually require any shooter movement under the clock. Could be that I was just thinking about Action shooting in all its various guises, since most such competitors engage in more than one style of match.
Anyhow I'm about done in this thread, and suspect that most everybody else who has contributed so far is too. How's about WE ALL just shut up, step back, and let some new "voices" chime in? Naw, that'd be too much to ask eh?
