Function over form, Delta Ergo.

Neat question. So is CZ building Colt clones? What about a Stoeger Cougar? Stoeger, owned by Beretta building a Beretta design? And is Miroku building Winchesters or Winchester clones? Are Ruger single actions such poor clones that they're actually a new design? As long as they are well...

Is the deficiency of 9mm +p hardcast vs 10mm more significant than the deficiency of 10mm vs .44mag? Would the less recoil/quicker follow up and larger capacity not tip the scale in favor of the 9mm over 10mm? Are there that many documented failures of 9mm to stop a grizzly? Draw the line...

Very useful

So, with both eyes open, focusing on the front sight with my non dominant eye will not be an issue? That would be nice.

Are you saying that if I want to take advantage of my left eye's better function I need to close my dominant eye when shooting?

I had cataract surgery, and my vision has settled at left eye 20/20 uncorrected, and right eye 20/30 uncorrected. My right eye is noticably worse, and I am right eye dominant. When shooting handguns, will shooting with both eyes open result in focusing with my poorer dominant eye? Could it...

The idea that you (or I) could be subject to a terror event is more likely than me encountering a carjacker while walking my dogs. (I've encountered more bears than people over the last few months) I am not suggesting I know better than you what is appropriate for you to carry. Just saying...

Oh, and I have an RIA officer sized 1911 that I bought used. Runs like a sewing machine (240 ball or 185hp doesn't matter) and I got some $30.00 camel bone scales for it... Maybe I'm slumming it compared to a Colt and ivory grips, but that RIA is NOT for sale.

I own a Remington R51, that's a pretty deep hole to try to look down on someone else from.

I live miles outside a much smaller town than yours, in a rural setting with very, very little violent crime. I can tell you that when there is a parade or festival in town, law enforcement prepares for a second floor or rooftop shooter and places barricades to prevent someone from driving into...

GEM, I have not taken a Givens class, I was merely relating a discussion from another area on this site that referenced a respected trainer. That discussion seemed to take seriously this concept from the article you linked: "90% of Winning a Gun Fight is Just Showing Up (With a Gun) The one...

Is assumption number four reasonable or realistic? Should we change that from all of our ammo, to a period of time? Maybe four seconds, from the point of fearing for your safety/life, to neutralize the threat regardless of the number of determined attackers? When you assume a static hit rate...

Haven't had anything on my list for quite a while. Really have been satisfied with what I have, and enjoying living vicariously through what you guys post. But the other day I stopped by a local shop, and the 27-2 they had made me interested enough to figure out a path...
