Best Gun Quote

Then a doctor came up to the range instructor and me. Said it is acutally a very good idea. When you turn the gun sideways, it brings something like 18 more muscles into play.

Many instructors teach that when shooting a pistol one-handed, you should cant the gun slighly to better align the bones in the arm and wrist and help compensate for the lack of a support arm/hand. The guy I've taken most of my pistol training from explained that due to varying body types and mechanics, everyone's natural degree of cant would be a little different, but it should be "more than 15 degrees, but not all the way to 'yo' (90 degrees)".

About 45 degrees on the strong side and a bit less on the support side is most natural for me. I've also been exposed to a one-handed technique that dispenses with the cant altogether, but incorporates an unlocked elbow... that seems to work as well or better in the recoil control department, and it has the advantage of offering the same sight picture as a conventional two-handed hold.

Talking about holding a pistol sideways. I done it once and was told not to dit it again. Then a doctor came up to the range instructor and me. Said it is acutally a very good idea. When you turn the gun sideways, it brings something like 18 more muscles into play. Thus with a little practice, should make you much more accurate
and steady. But I never tried it again.

Sounds like the doc was talking about this:

...a 45 (+/-) canting of the weapon for recoil control in close combat, versus the shooting style:

...that necessitates the use of the homeboy nightsights:

Gun shop owner I know was describing a transaction where a local 'banger-in-training came in to the shop and bought four loose rounds of .32 ACP hardball:

"The SOB thought he'd just bought himself a lifetime supply of ammo...and damned if he wasn't right!"

That is freaking hilarious assuming he meant the banger went out and got wasted the same day.

I can't remember the exact wording but I was at the Willow Slough Range and there were about 10 bangers there with their AKs and SKSs and one of them must of had a good sale because he had a nice shiny new AR.
Anyway I got setup and after shooting a 30rd mag out of my M&P15 two of them come walking over, the following is the best I can remember.

Hey man wheres yous be buyin thems big clips at? Eyes can't be finding none of dems big mutha ****as no wheres alls i gots is 10 booets clips an sheet. Thems big ones shore would be nice.Yous be wantin to sells me some of dems?

No I don't want to sell any of them I suggest you go on line to find them.

Awww mans dat coo. looks like yous be shooting real tight an sheet man mines aint hitting nothin down there like yous is I heard thems hit them metal targets yous put down there evrytime man. Mine must be ****ed up an sheet.

Want me to take a look at it for you?

Yas man that wood be coo and sheet.

I look it over and see nothing wrong with his brand new Colt M4Clone. Pop a mag in it and take 10 shots down range (100yds) at my targets. After hitting every one I hand it back to him and tell him I don't see anything wrong with it.

Sheet man yeah yous got to fire it fast to see if it any good man it might be working ok slow like dat but I be betting you aint gonna hit none dem targets fast it just don't be shooting right fast.

He hands it back to me and hands me another 10rd mag (clip in his words), I hand him back the mag and tell him to have one of his boys put up one of their COM targets.
After the range is clear I pop in a 30 rd mag and proceed to eliminate the COM target.
Tell him to have one of his boys go get it. We count 28 holes and 2 of those looked like double holes.

Damns man thats crazy an sheet yous be hitting everythang you must be a cop or sumthang fo sure.

I told them I had to go and packed up my stuff I was starting to feel outnumbered and outgunned. I offered to give him $500 for the gun.

What yous crazy I traded mys Boo for dis mutha ****a and sheet man, crazy white boy.

Ok have a great day guys and good luck.

Last time I went to Willow Slough by myself.

Kinda makes me want to go to Willow Slough now.. I'll definitely feel better about my own shooting!

Once had a young man tell me that he joined the Marines, was training for Recon, but had to drop out due to physical issues (the usual BS story). According to him, his issue weapon was a Barrett and his sidearm was a Desert Eagle.

He couldn't understand why I asked if the girls in the schoolyard were impressed with that.

I don't know why they wouldn't be...I'm very impressed that he was assigned to a unit that used desert eagles as the side arm. Although after awhile wouldn't there legs be disproportional, and then maybe they would only walk in circles?

I thought about that once, porcelain is good for knives because it holds an edge really well, but isn't it really brittle? You'd fire one shot and it would explode(but what else is new, right? )

[tyler34]

the fact is there is more than one reliable pistol in the world and glockers can't seem to come to terms with that.
