      What is your "go to" handgun

      My Cajunized PCR. If I’m home, it’s within reach.

      Handgun Show-N-Tell

      Picked up this Model 101 to go with my 70s today. Not sure why but I’ve really gotten into smaller caliber pistols over the past year or so.

      Wheel Gun Show-N-Tell

      A LGS in South Florida. The guy that does my transfers primarily sells on consignment, and there are always older collectors looking to liquidate their collections. This is the Model 28-2 I mentioned (same seller) and I’ve had him pull it so I can start making payments.

      Wheel Gun Show-N-Tell

      My newest acquisition. I had my eye on a Model 28 but this was half the price so I couldn’t pass it up.

      Best lubricant?

      I went through a period where I tried a lot of different cleaners/lubricants and I use TW25B on everything I own. It’s a little pricey but performance is top notch and it cuts down on cleaning time as well.

      Handgun Show-N-Tell

      Just picked up a Colt 1903 (1916 manufacture date). Not exactly collector grade but I wanted to shoot it…

      Pistol triggers

      They pop up on gunbroker from time to time, usually at ridiculous prices. There’s currently a Lyson’s Corner P226 on there and the seller is wanting $2,999. I’d definitely recommend picking one up at some point. It’s probably my favorite platform.

      Pistol triggers

      They’re kind of like misprinted coins. Not really “worth” any extra money, but they sell for quite a bit more. It’s actually kind of ironic because of my four P220s, the Tyson’s Corner has the worst trigger.

      Pistol triggers

      I prefer hammer fired pistols but own/have owned a lot of striker fired pistols as well. The trigger on the Canik Elite Combat is, hands down, the best factory trigger I’ve ever felt on a striker fired pistol. Takeup is very smooth with a noticeable wall, but the break is clean and light. It...

      Red dots on handguns are for play (change my mind)

      I certainly understand the benefit and wish I was in a position to train like that. Unfortunately nobody down here really has land, I promoted and no longer have access to the DHS/ICE range, and most public ranges prohibit drawing from a holster. I know of one privately owned range where I can...

      Red dots on handguns are for play (change my mind)

      No, it’s been a while since I shot with a timer and even then it was to qualify. They only record scores when you pass. You typically don’t know the times unless you need remedial training and failure to complete drills is the reason. Florida is CC only so it’s almost exclusively IWB now. 4...

      Red dots on handguns are for play (change my mind)

      Didn’t I say from the beginning that I don’t shoot competition? It’s from concealment. It’s a B6, not a B8, and as I said, it was rapid fire 2 and 3 shot groupings with a 1911. So that’s what? Six shots out of approximately 50 that were all still within 4” of the bullseye despite not using the...

      Red dots on handguns are for play (change my mind)

      Maybe we’re misunderstanding each other, or maybe I don’t know what I’m taking about. What I do know is this is three or four rapid fire 2-3 shot groupings I shot with a 1911 at 10 yards two weeks ago using the technique I’ve been describing. A technique I learned from an individual who’s been...

      Red dots on handguns are for play (change my mind)

      Chris Baker from Lucky Gunner also says it originated with Col. Cooper and the range master at Gunsite, who did the video in the link I posted, describes it differently…

      Red dots on handguns are for play (change my mind)

      Straight from the course of fire. I’m sorry if you didn’t like my terminology, but this is shooting from the hip. You clear the holster, bend your elbow, and fire.

      Red dots on handguns are for play (change my mind)

      Gun up and tucked into the chest, canted sideways. Some call it close combat ready, some call it high compressed ready, he just used high ready. We practiced from the holster when we had access to their range, and high ready when we were on a range that prohibited drawing from a holster. Reason...

      Red dots on handguns are for play (change my mind)

      I used 7-10 because that’s the range where I can do it consistently. I’ve seen it done as far as 15, but anything further generally requires the rear sights. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough with my original post, but I’m not saying reflex sights are a bad product, inferior, etc. I was simply saying...

      Red dots on handguns are for play (change my mind)

      That’s exactly what I train for. This was the target we used for that drill. He’d call the shape and location and I’d punch out/fire. FSP shooting is accurate enough to consistently hit an area the size of one of these shapes at 7-10 yards. If it wasn’t, they probably wouldn’t teach people to...

      I meant to reply to you with my last post. The section on Flash Sight Picture explains why I disregard the rear sights when I train.
