I think we're saying the same thing? Not every gun works well for everyone. I used to do adaptive shooting instruction. Gear in that case matters more than anything else. We used very configurable air rifles that I could fit to almost anyone. The opposite is true as well. If you're a 5' 11" male with medium to large sized hands, virtually every gun will fit you well because you're the target audience. Gear matters less. But I've also taken a woman shooting a J-frame and handed her my 1911 or a MOS Glock and watched her go from frustration to solid shooting. The trigger, grip, and sights matter a lot especially for someone not in the "shooting demographic". __________________________________ An operator is someone who picks up the phone when I dial 0. | |||

something that bothers me is this idea of a "carry rotation" . Unless they are all Glocks or revolvers, you WILL lose valuable time when the shit hits the fan because you have to give a thought to today's manual of arms. Pick one, or two, and always and only carry those. Shoot the crap out of them until they are second nature. Shoot all of your other cool stuff at the range. | |||

The 2nd guarantees the 1st |
Don't even think about listening to the guy at the range who offers you advise and says, "You won't find anyone who knows more about guns than me." or "You won't find anyone who is a better shot than me." "Even if the world were perfect it wouldn't be." ... Yogi Berra | |||

I won't shoot anyone else's reloads, but I don't think I can mandate that for all other shooters Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

Never offer unsolicited advice on any topic other than safety. If you want to be helpful, start off with something like, "hey bud, are you interested in a few tips?" Rather than diving into whatever five minute primer you've got. Some folks are real defensive about their skill (or lack thereof) and some folks are just too arrogant to take advice. And some people just want to be left alone and shoot. Starting the conversation off friendly, rather than diving right in with the (constructive) criticism usually sets the right tone. ---------------------------------------- Death smiles at us all.

"And some people just want to be left alone and shoot." That! If I am on the range I am working, training, testing, etc. I enjoy what I do, but nothing makes nightmares more than hearing a slide rack behind me while on the line. | |||
