If I die with a 1911 in my hands lie to my family and tell them I got fucked to death in a gay brothel.

Yeah, I did say more than that because there's more to it than that.
But hey, you go ahead and put it on fire as soon as you get your grip and control your finger on a 3.5lb trigger throughout your draw stroke.
You have a short memory and a bad grasp on reading comprehension. You're just throwing in conclusions that where never said.
3.5 pound trigger is normal for me and most regular shooters, in fact that’s one of my heaviest triggers. You’ve really built yourself up in your own head you’re doing completely normal things but magically it’s something special because it’s you lol.
You described punching out and flipping off the safety as some boss move, and talk about 3.5lb triggers like it something stupid light.
Give yourself a medal.
I normally have no problem with you , and I hope this is all a troll because it’s some of the stupidest shit I’ve read in a minute.

There are plenty of witnessess at a USPSA match, and you don't get to pick the shooting problem.
Sounds like you're afraid of not picking and choosing the test.
Always the same shit when nutbags like you get called out: "we'll do it at my secret location". Fuck you, if you want to do it we'll do it in front of everyone and you don't get to pick the test or the rules.

I normally couldn't care less for classifiers but they seem like just the right thing here.
Set up exactly the same all across the country, low round count, only the shooting fundamentals matter in a non movement classifier, amd scores are posted on PS.
Sounds like an easy way to put up or shut up, just gotta talk your local MD's into a specific one.
That's a lot of words, but I think the summary is "I'm dependent upon the thumb safety to prevent a ND because my finger is on the trigger before the gun is on the target".
Interpretation confirmed.
More like a Honda accord I would think. Dependability and cheap being the key features.
Now we're talking!
Yer both wrong - hammer fired DA/SA or DAO Autos are The Bomb. Well, for me and my training level anyway. Decocker down when holstering disables the trigger and firing pic - the gun is dead as a stone. Once holstered the decocker is raised and the hammer put at half cock. If need arises, I skin it and a neat sharp DA pull (which on my Beretta PX4 is better than a Glock squirt gun trigger) lets round one go and then it's in SA mode for fast follow ups. 17+1.
When time to holster the gun the thumb decocks the pistol and it is once again inert and safe to be holstered even with shaking hands from adrenaline rush.
DAO Autos are even stupid simpler - like a DA revolver. Draw, point, and pull.
To be fair I trained with some cops a few years ago with replica laser cartridge pistols in realistic high stress simulations and we'd video it and watch. You can't believe the number of guys who had their fingers on the trigger even though they insisted they knew better and had the muscle memory to not do that. It happens - people, even people with high skill levels and tons of training, can end up with their fingers where they shouldn't be when SHTF. They don't/didn't believe it could happen until they watched the videos. No matter how well trained, fuck ups happen. I prefer redundant safety systems in place. Unlike Glock Perfection, I'm not perfect and can fuck up and I'd prefer to not get shot or shoot anyone else who dun't need shot.
VooDoo

Sometimes I forget this is a rifle forum when people are explaining how handguns work I start to get real annoyed, then I remember. Lol
If you train properly a striker fired handgun is no more dangerous than SA or DA/SA. The following is a general statement not a personal dig at you....varying handguns aren’t more or less dangerous it’s the moron holding it who has sub-par or no real training. The operator has full control the handgun it won’t do anything you don’t manipulate it to do(minus mechanical failures).
There’s a ton of “this is better because I feel more comfortable using it, it’s safer” on here. Really you’re the safety factor not the firearm. If you can fuck up with one, you’ll manage to fuck up with the others. Unfortunately sometime brain farts happen.
There’s definitely times to touch the trigger from right after the draw(shooting from retention), in defensive situations. When that’s not a factor don’t touch the trigger.
People have this false reality you average LEO/MIL is some highly trained operator and that couldn’t be farther from the truth on average. Most I know don’t shoot any more than they are required and have a real false sense of their own knowledge on firearms/shooting. They’ve also been taught to think that way in a lot of cases so it’s not a surprise, you only know what you know.
If you ever get the chance go watch your local LEO do shooter quals, it’s not comforting in most cases.

What's the monthly subscription fee for those?
This is a man's pistol.
(Never mind the idiot scratch, I put that there before I knew what the fuck I was doing
)
(Never mind the idiot scratch, I put that there before I knew what the fuck I was doing

That's pretty steep. Sirius XM is just a few bucks each month.
Says the guy with the idiot scratched colt.Nothing "straight" belongs on that thing.
Colt, the ultimate Fudd brand....”Muh Mil-spec”. When all the MIL guys I’ve known sit around bitching about the weapons they carried.
Mil-spec, National Match, Match Grade and Tactical. The most over used tags in the firearms world.
Better reception, though.
LoL. I bought that back in 1994 when I was in my early 20's.
I like it, that's all that matters.
I like it, that's all that matters.
Mil-spec = lowest bidder
10,000 people a year tend to like them enough to pay $3,000.00, just because you aren’t secure in your manhood doesn’t mean everyone else has to play hide the closet.
Well, there’s this magical thing called swapping the charging handle ...you just turn it 180 lol.
Looked like 2 misses to me. Maybe 2 hands on the gun and ditch the phone if you're being stalked by a lion.

So...poor people?
Guess so
Not necessarily. Mil moa threads thet are in there didn't have anybody banned that I recall.
So it belongs to your husband?
if it wasnt for the staple gun trigger on that glock perfection he prolly would have hit both shots
We really need a sarcasm font here...
He don’t know about that firing from retention trick. Hell Don’t most instructors teach to fire the whole way out from retention in certain situations?
Fire from retention, fire from high ready, fire punching out keeping all rounds center mass while moving backwards creating space and not falling, or is that not a drill anymore?
You dont have the luxury of sight alignment and full extension when someone’s right on top of you.
I don't think he was trying to shoot it, just getting internet points tbh. Depending on where you live shooting one of those cats is a whole bunch of paperwork.
I’d like a Czechmate but the TSO is my favorite pistol I own. Got a few glocks and a STI Trojan from Dawson. Couple other autos and some shiny wheelies. TSO is just hot.
Did LE qualifying this past weekend. Some notes I took from it,
- There was a variety of Glock, sig and 1911
- One sig was a jamomatic
- One 1911 guy got hung up by the thumb safety several times forgetting to take it off
- Looking at the targets you couldn’t tell who shot the cheapest glock or the most expensive 1911
- I qualified with a Glock 19, no optic, zero hits outside the kill zone and still didn’t use my sights inside 3 yards. Just did the point and shoot center mass as always
- Past couple years I qualified with a 1911 and a Glock 26 as a backup. Love the 1911 as well
I have both glocks and 1911’s. As well as rugers and springfields. The Glock 19 308pirate posted above is my next defense gun when I make take that step. Or a CZ we’ll see

Wait, what? The manual of arms is so complete different for those two pistols that there is no way you could have accomplished the claimed feat.
Confirmed.
The finger will be going on the trigger during the punchout, not riding it during the draw. The thumb goes down first and then the trigger pressing, in that sequence.
For me, the thumb safety creates a familiar grip, plus, riding the thumb safety allows better control and leverage on the trigger which helps with the long take up of the Glock trigger.

I've already picked the test. Fuck you and your games. You said I sucked as a shooter. We'll settle this real fast, fuckhead, who sucks and who is the fastest on the most important shooting real life "problem" encountered in a gunfight, the first shot. You lose that, there are no "problems."
I'll put lead on a target and neutralize a threat faster than you.
Y’all should go outside and kiss about it. Also we have technology film yourselves if it’s such a big deal, you don’t have to meet up and fuck anymore.
A single lucky shot would be gay as fuck, few gun fights end with one shot. One shot doesn’t prove anything stages/strings of fire weed out the bullshitters.
Shits like saying you have a 1moa rifle but shoot single shot “groups” on 2moa plates
Is the speed secret keeping the safety off? ND from retention
sorry, not sorry too easy. Last edited:
But you could shoot from high ready if you’d click off the safety when it’s up and not lose time punching out. Point shootings easy at close range. If someone is right in front of you why waste time punching out then shooting.
Shoot as you punch out.
Also if you aren’t trolling you’re taking this too seriously lol. Some folks on here could teach you some good things if you weren’t taking it so personal lol.
I’m not jumping on that myself I’m too out of practice these days
. If you notice all my comp shooting is past tense I can’t afford to shoot daily anymore. I’m curious to see 308 shoot from stuff he’s said, not in a shit talking way either. He’s either badass, or hilarious and honestly I hope he’s a handgun wizard lol
You're one to talk about 'some people could teach you some things', like the basics.
I answered your smartass comments in a civil tone, thinking maybe you could learn something. You can take trying to teach someone a new/old concept as trolling if you want.
If you start shooting at high ready, you are going to be punching out as you shoot and be fully punched out with follow up shots.
As far as the first shot, most gunfights are over in seconds, unless you plan on running and gunning your way out of the hood.
When I say first shot, it doesn't end there. But the first shot is the most critical.
