Random Thoughts of an Amatuer Gun Guru

I feel it necessary to bring up training.
It is easy. Get some.
Don't go watch a video and think you can do it all. Go spend the 100-500$ and get some decent training. At least you will have an instructor that can give some quick hands on "intervention" for bad habits.
It might even give you a look into a world you really might like!
How many people do you think carry with nothing more than an attitude and basic understanding of how their pistol works?
Do you want to be "That Guy"?
I hate preaching to the choir but I have to. Some times the choir just doesn't pay attention.
I am not an expert but I know what works and what doesn't.
Finger on the trigger guard doesn't work.
Thumbs down grip doesn't work.
Hand on the bottom of the magazine like in the show 24...
DOESN'T WORK!
Sometimes sh!t just doesn't work. that's why guys that have been doing this for a long... LONG time teach the stuff that does work.
Dryfire works(REALLY TRY IT!).
9mm is a fine round or the NYPD, LAPD, OPD, and countless other agencies would have switched long ago
45ACP is not the answer to everything. It is a fine old bird but I say carry what you can shoot.
If you holster set-up doesn't conceal your pistol then look in the mirror. Does your gut hang over the top of it? Might want to try some thing else.
The only guy I ever saw carry a full-size 1911 was an old friend that was 6ft and weighed in at 170lbs. He had 0% body fat and carried that gun all the time. He said he hardly knew it was there. I told him, "You need love handles to know," and to get bent!
I have never been to a range where I didn't see holes in the ceiling, walls, trash cans, fence, or anything else people seem to want to shoot at and that was a nice range.
Well that is all for today. I hope you enjoyed it!
