    Ignorance behind "Shot placement is key" fallacy.

    To keep things in perspective, I am NOT talking about extremity shots or grazing wounds. Unless you aim for the brain stem, heart, and actually hit it with near every shot you fire, your opponent is stopped by the amount of damge a bullet caused, not because exactly what part it was hit. Even...

    Question: Why IWB?

    Here is the background. I started carrying guns about 10 years ago. I have carried OWB and IWB tucked, ankle, shoulder, pocket, off body, belly band, etc. When I selected IWB, it was only because I can tuck my shirt over it so I can carry without a cover garment. I tried non-tucked...

    Handgun tactics. Why I am intentionally passive in classes.

    I hate looking like someone who don't know what to do. No one does. But, I intentionally do so. It is for a good reason I learned from experience, and related to safety. The reason is that if I become active, and do what I'd actually do in a real life scenario, it might make some instructors...

    Ruger! Please bring back the old smooth grips.

    I just cannot stand the Hogue grips on the GP100. For 3 inch barrel models, the size is an overkill, and the finger groove position is ridiculous.

    Ammo selection. 40S&W, what it is and what it is not.

    People tend to think of it in terms of relationship between 9mm Parabellum and 45ACP, thinking that it is intended to be a caliber that is a compromise between the two. While the "compromise" design aspect may be true in some regards, it does not apply to all aspects, especially ones that are...

    PMC ammo. I feel cheated.

    I buy ammo to train, meaning the training ammo need to be equal or at least close to what I shoot for security use at least in power. I use Winchester USA in 40S&W in 165 gr because it is very close. I ran out of it, so I bought some PMC 40S&W. Then I find out that this stuff is only rated at...

    Review: Smith and Wesson M&P 40 with the new type trigger.

    Reliability: It is unknown at this point. I had 2 failure to chamber, 1 failure of slide to return to full forward position, and 1 failure to slide lock on empty magazine. I am not concerned about the slide failing to lock, because it seems like I blocked the slide lock from moving by...

    M&P 40 reiview

    The trigger resistance measured out of the box was 6.5 lbs. After two range trips and some dry firing, it now consistently measures around 6 lb 4 oz. This comfirms my suspicion that M&P triggers are actually lighter than that of the Glock 22 with me or most other Glocks I've shot, since actual...
