After breaking it down and discussing it here and with other very experienced shooters off the board, I've figured out I really can't get my body to do a high retention position. I've got two options, so I'm told. Something called the "old FBI" retention position from the center and...

I have recently changed my presentation to include an option to shoot from a retention position. I have dry fired a good sequence into my muscle memory. I went live with it today at an empty range. I was unhappy with my performance. It's been awhile since I've been on this forum and there...

I did see this coming awhile back. I made a guy shooter friend and shot a few times with him and once with him and his girlfriend. I got the call today. He wants to shoot with me again and talk about carrying, both he and his girlfriend. I do not think they are going into this on the heels of...

Scenario: Single, relatively well trained, armed civilian in a mostly decent urban neighborhood, only one on the block with posted alarm signs and stickers. If windows or doors are breeched, a deafening alarm goes off and alarm company tries to reach me on my cell, no answer, then dispatch...

Recently, I've been speaking with other CCW people and talking about what they carry. I've run into a few that carry more than one gun. I'm curious to know how many you carry (if you do), if you carry mags/lights with them. If you carry more than 1, I'd curious as to why. I'll go...

Hi all, I posted this on another forum a few days ago. Some of you on that forum saw this before as well as the discussion that came after. A PM from a friend here reminded me there are viewpoints I bring that can be valuable because they are "fresh." You don't know me as well here but I...

I know a lot of people believe anti-s are always that way. Some are. I have several in my life. I had an event with one today that reminded me that continuing to engage in discussion with them and demonstrate responsible, thoughtful behavior around firearms and safety can pay off. This...

I'm working on the Leatham-Enos grip for my Kahr K9, not using the revolver grip. I tried this with live ammo for the first time yesterday at the range. I noticed a couple of things, probably related. It felt like my thumbs were all over the place. I finally decided (with some guidance ;))...

I knew it was gonna be hard but really? Are you kidding me? The little orange take down block was helpful in taking the gun apart. Easy to clean and get super obsessive over because with a tactical light and stainless steel, everything is visible. Any tips on reassembly without pointing that...

There are rare times when I need to leave my carry in the car. It's leased so I can't bolt anything down. Options? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My favorite gun is my old West German Sig P226 9 mm. I usually shoot only in SA. The DA pull is too long and heavy and I can't reach it well with a decent, sustainable grip. In SA, it's perfect. Would a SRT do the trick? And would you do that to your favorite gun if it was old and...

:rolleyes: So I've conceded that I need to shoot less and save my hands. Instead of going to the range yesterday, I spent parts of the day dry firing. I awoke to find my hands are sore. Muscle sore, not like they took a beating when I shoot sometimes. Maybe this is the equivalent of "grip...

A friend suggested to me I might not be letting my hands heal sufficiently between range visits. It occurred to me he may be right. I generally shoot 9 mm or 380 ACP on some variety of Sig Sauer. Range sessions vary from 50 rounds to 100 rounds depending on what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm...

I'm a noob, and have been training up the last 9 months. I've had several instructors and settled on one academy for further training but need a local place to shoot that has better air quality. To get access to their tactical range, I need to take three of their classes or at least qualify...

Because of some issues very specific to my situation, I'm considering changing carry guns. I need to step up to a 9 mm and find something without an external safety or the need for de-cocking before holstering. The short version is polymer guns don't work out. I've tried multiple of many...

For those in the Pacific NW, here's a review of my experience last weekend with Firearms Academy of Seattle. I started with Basic Handun which was an 8 hour class. 3 hours was mostly legal stuff. It's the only legally heavy class I've attended. It was dry but useful and I took copious notes...

I carry my Sig P232 .380 in a belly band in deep concealment. It was brought to my attention recently that if I forget the de-cocking lever, I can have a ND into my belly as that SA trigger pull is light. I'm meeting with a gunsmith about another gun and we are going to talk about this as...

As a result of having more situational awareness as of late, I'm noticing the things that don't fit. For instance, I drove by a large woman beating up a small man the other day. I called that in. Tonight I drove by a tall guy walking purposefully across the street in a known drug area with a...

I went to a Krav Maga class tonight and that is not an option for me given mutiple physical limitations and general level of fitness. It looks good for the average out of shape Joe who can spend some sweat, but that's not me. That whole tag line about "even senior citizens can do this" was not...

Yes she did. We did a test today. This week, at my acupuncture appointment, I had my doc check my pulses (a measure of health in chinese medicine), with by Sig P232 strapped to my belly and then off of me. I suspected they would change because I feel different in an unquantifiable way when I...
