A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing. I am writing a story in which one of the characters knows far more about firearms than I do. I can now confidently say SIG P226 X-FIVE Tactical chambered in .40SW with a 14-round magazine and know what I'm talking about (even if I can't remember right now if the tactical is SAO). I'm learning an awful lot about ammunition, more than I think I need to know, but there's a lot.
So I think I'm doing better than a lot of writers so far. The thing is, this character really, really, knows guns. I think I have avoided embarrassing myself except for one passage, which I would appreciate having a group like this vet. I'm sure there are a host of other questions that you could help me with as well.
Would this be an appropriate place to post questions like that, or is there another place you could recommend? I know that the gun community (like any other technical group) hates it when fiction has stupid, avoidable errors and misconceptions.
I promise that when the movie poster comes out, the babe's finger will be safely off the trigger.
EDITED TO ADD: And now I see that the X-FIVE Tactical only comes in 9mm...
