Glock 22

So after some jokes, the guy brings me a full-auto .45 cal KRISS Vector.  He says, “Don’t drop it, it’s $20,000 worth of gun”.  Talk about nervous.  But once the target was set and the mags were loaded, it was pure adult fun.  I must say everybody should try a full-auto gun once in their life…I mean you’ve seen Rambo do it with one arm (which I do not recommend) and John McClane do it with no shoes on (which I also do not recommend because bullet shells are hot and fall where they want).  Here is what I’m talking about….

.45cal full-auto KRISS Vector

Shooting and shooting sports are hugely popular in America. Any shooting enthusiast will tell you how shooting guns is great fun. Many people wonder why gun enthusiasts are so passionate about their hobby. Some even find it a frightening avocation and do not understand why there are so many people that have fun shooting guns. Shooting sportsmen can attest to the reasons why there is so much enthusiasm and passion for the sport.

First of all, shooting is not a generic skill. Firing a handgun is as different from shooting a shotgun as shooting baskets is from hitting a baseball. The requisite skill of shooting at a target with a handgun is decidedly different from shooting at a target with a rifle. Many shooting champions have mastered their craft in one discipline, but have difficulty mastering or even being competent at another. The challenge can be compared to any other athletic event or skilled craft requiring talent, hard work, and practice to master it.

Those who have never fired a gun sometimes do not appreciate how fun it is to hold a gun, aim it, and then pull the trigger after which a small explosion occurs as the jacketed bullet propels out of the muzzle and heads toward the target. All this is instantaneous, and the success of the shot can be determined instantaneously by looking at the target and seeing the exact location on the target that the bullet hit, or not. This process can be repeated until the shooter gets tired and wishes to try another firearm or retrieve his target to compare his shots. Often, those with a keen shooting eye will excel almost immediately and sometimes it takes more practice.

So if you get a chance and some extra change, hit up your local range.  Ladies, don’t think it’s just a guy thing, women are flocking to the range just for fun as well…blame the Zombie Apocalypse or good male friends.  The people are really helpful in keeping you and everybody around you safe.  Then in your best Lil Duval voice tell anybody that wants to try you “Just so you know, I got that FIRE on me!”

Ever been shooting?  Own a gun?  Want a gun?  Which is your gun of choice and why?  Are you any good at hitting the target? Play much Call of Duty?

Thanks for tuning in…..

The Black Dot Bullseye Difference
As all top players know, one shaft fits their brain (sight picture) better than the other, unused shaft in their case. If you don’t believe that, open any top player’s case and the second shaft will be virtually unused and the player might tell you that one of the shafts (the dirty shaft) happens to be his favorite; meanwhile, the other shaft remains clean and fairly unused….

The Thin Black Line
In all my years as an avid sports fan, I have been exposed to a number of extraordinary events. However, over the last year, a certain trend has not only questioned my responsibilities as a sports enthusiast, but also my rights as a paying spectator of these enthralling events. The recent escalation of fan-player interaction and violence has made me reevaluate what purpose I serve for the athletes and that which they serve for the fans. … Read More >>

There are a lot of reasons to choose a defensive pistol (or any other weapon). Assuming you choose a cartridge that passes the common sense test (.22′s, .25, .410 shotguns, etc are not defensive weapons); then shootability, commonality of components and ease of use are at least as important as the cartridge itself.

Part 1: basics

Components and how they work:

Cartridges are made up of four components: bullet, casting, powder, and primer. When a gun is fired its hammer or striker hits the primer. The primer detonates and starts a secondary detonation of the powder. The detonation of the powder propels the bullet forward. The final component, the casting, holds all the components together.

Size:

The different cartridges types are named after the diameter (caliber) of there bullets. American and English cartridges are measured in inches while European cartridges are measured using millimeters.

Listed from smallest to largest are some of the more popular pistol cartridge types: .22 cal, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 cal, and .45 ACP. Each cartridge type has a history and many alternate names. For example the 9mm can be referred to as: 9x19mm, 9mm Nato, and 9mm Luger. In the name 9x19mm the “9” is the measure of the diameter of the bullet in millimeters, while the 19mm refers to the height of the casting. 9mm NATO cartridge is the official cartridge adapted by NATO and is considered an overpressure variant of the 9x19mm. The 9mm Luger is named after Georg Luger, the original designer of the 9x19mm. There are some exceptions to the naming rule; the .380 ACP is good example of this. The .380 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) was designed by John Browning and introduced by Colt in 1908. Even though you’d expect the .380 ACP’s diameter to be .380^th of an inch it is actually .355 of an inch (9mm).  The number “.380” was most likely selected for marketing reasons. The dimensions of the .380 ACP are: 9mm bullet diameter and 17mm casting height. Alternate names for the .380 ACP are: .380 Auto, 9mm Browning, 9mm Corto, 9mm Court, 9mm Kratak, 9mm Kurz, 9mm Scurt, 9mm Short, and 9x17mm.
