Nice! That gives those that oppose the fbi a better chance of winning.I hear the fbi is thinking of going grip zone.

I go to the range once or twice a month. But I also have an airsoft pistol and a BB gun, both of which are 1911 clones and similar enough to my carry gun that they fit the same holster. I practice with those twice a week.How often do you practice pistol shooting?
Reason I ask is because in my recent LTC class to get my LTC 100 documentation, in my group, out of 5 people, 3 failed to get the 275 points required on target. I passed with flying colors obviously, and a guy who was a vet in OEF was actually shooting next to my lane, passed as well. I felt like I wasn't even trying. Normally, I am shooting pistol about once a week, though since I moved to Texas, I'm only shooting about once a month (that will change very soon).
We both looked at each other as they were grading the other guy's targets and was surprised at how many misses these dudes were having. I mean, we're talking 50% of shots missed at 3,7, and 15 yards. One of them was shooting a Buckmark 22lr which I thought was a tack driver. Maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, DPS sent me an e-mail and said my application is moving forward, 45 days until my LTC is in the mail hopefully!
Agreed. More times than I can remember, I've been at a public outdoor range and watched people shooting pistols at targets 7 yards away. The funniest times are always after a rain when it easy to see the splashes being made as their bullets impact the ground about 5 yards out.No, you're not wrong: It's HIGHLY likely the shooter was the "limiting agent" there. ;-)
Yes...people SHOULD be able to make all/most of their qualification points on the first (closest) target. Catch-up (if needed) on the second-range target, leaving the third-range target as "gravy." Just concentrate...and don't use "more" of a gun than you can handle. IMO, bullet-placement is the MOST important factor, not the gun/caliber you're carrying.Agreed.

Cool shot. Did you take that with your cell phone?

I try tobpractice in my own hallway once oe twice a month. I have both an airsoft and a bb pistol which mimic my carry gun so closely they both fit well in my carry holster. Both are also blowbacks, ao recoil is mimiced, also.How often do you practice pistol shooting?

In addition to being cheap, there is no brass to pick up!Dry firing is everything. You can do it in the garage
