Soo... this little Sig .380

Is that Chip?

Yup. He and I had a good talk a couple of Saturday nights ago. He even let me play with some of his guns for a while. I was shocked.

Don't be. He's realy proud of his 1911, and never passes up a chance to let someone try it out.

BTW, he's like the Zen Master of handguns. One of the Madison County Sheriff's Deputies told me that he doesn't even practice. It just comes natural.

I like Chip, but that's kind of crazy. It's like saying, "See that guy who handles pistols all the time for work? Yeah. Never practices. Just demonstrates proper technique 6 days a week."

Well, that's not exactly the same as actual "practice"...and I doubt he does it 6 days a week....how would he have time to do actual cop stuff?

...and I think the dude was talking about actual range time. I seem to recall Chip talking about how he pisses off his wife by using her full sized mirror constantly to practice his dry firing.

Never even handled a Glock. I feel kinda left out.

Neither have I, and I don't feel left out at all.











































Oh, you said "Glock".








I have handled one of those.

A skyops holster is a Galco holster. THey sell a lot of holsters - you'd think they would know how not to do that!

If someone is holstering a Glock (or any other firearm) and it's going out of battery then they need:

#1 To slow the hell down when re-holstering. There is no contest I know of to holster a weapon. If you're holstering the weapon that should mean the threat is over and there is no need for speed. (not saying moving like a turtle but well....you all get what I mean)

I've got my duty holster and I've got the Glock combat holster. Always look when holstering. Never had a problem.

Oh and if this was a regular thing with Glocks being out of battery killing officers it would be all over the internet and hurting Glock in sales.

I fired my first Glock the other day (Glock 19). It was nice, but everything you've heard about the awkward grip angle is true. Compared to a 1911, it's just downright unnatural.

My Chief is like that. He is NOT A GUN PERSON, but he's still a qualified Firearm's Instructor. He never practices. But, he was an All-Star High School Quarterback and he's got the athletic hand/eye coordination thing down pat. He aces everything and only shoots the mandatory two times a year.

Unfortunately, he thinks everybody is like that so there's exactly zero money in the training budget.

^Dad was that kind of shot. My favorite moment being: About 5 people were trying to knock a tin can off a fence post with various cailbers of both rifle and handgun. Dad was layed up with a foot infection, sitting on the porch with his feet up, his back to the fence, trying to relax. After a few minutes, he yelled "Goddamn it!", picked up his little Ruger Single-Six .22 revolver, rotated his torso as far as he could without getting up or moving his legs, so his shooting arm was pointing straight out behind him around the chair's backrest, at a range of about 50 feet. One shot, the can went flying. "NOW will ya kock off the noise!?"
