    Sighting Systems on Home Defense guns

    At home defense ranges if you can't hit with iron sights then you're probably rattled enough that optics wouldn't matter. You'll probably be fastest with whatever configuration you practise most in, though. Thinking of getting a rail light for my UspC. Probably have to practise a bit with...

    right hand, left eye dominant, anybody else with this issue?

    I'm cross-dominant. No problem with handguns... I use Weaver with a fair cant to my head. Rifles haven't been much of a problem shooting with my "weak eye".

    Anybody else live in a rough city?

    There are few neighbourhoods that *aren't* rough, where I come from. When you get used to people literally blowing up ATMs, you know you're a bit jaded. Reference link >> That article is from a month ago, and references the number of ATM bombings in just one of our nine provinces. The one...

    Am I the only one who hates cleaning guns, HELP

    Maybe not. Doesn't mean you're not a heathen. ;)

    How do you pronounce it?

    Koch is pronounced with the german guttural 'gh' sound where I come from. There's no analogue in english. Sounds like grating your own throat with a lamppost.

    UK: 14,000 knife victims a year

    Hk G3 - you got his number? 'Cause no-one seems to be answering when I call... (Incidentally, if you'd read the graphic novel then you might have some severe misgivings about calling V... ;) )

    Will Heller blunt some of the lunacy in schools?

    Somehow I can only see this resulting in the anti teachers frantically redoubling their efforts at re-educating their charges in 'the way it should have been', lest they actually get some idea in their heads that they're supposed to become responsible and trusted citizens instead of police-state...

    Non-USA members

    Here's the thing about South Africa - pretty much everyone is pro-gun, except the millionaires and politicians. Walk up to anyone on the street, ask him if he thinks he should have a gun, you'll get a 'yes'. Ask him if he minds his neighbours, coworkers, whatever having guns, and chances are...

    What would you do? Surrounded by 20...

    That's a situation where you hit a F.E.A.R. - F#@% Everything And Run. There's no good excuse for letting yourself get caught in that situation. Trying to fight your way out of it isn't a good gamble - the odds combined with the stakes are pretty terrible. Drawing is for when you can't get...

    Having trouble getting a holster

    Looks like Gall's only does the US... they have an 'international' link under managed services, but it seems like that's for agencies rather than just ordinary folks. Thanks for the input, though. :)

    what do you ccw?

    Hk UspC .40 in a Fobus. Because that's the only decent holster I can get for a Usp where I live. At least it's winter now, but concealment is going to become a problem in a couple of months...
