Stop using the modified weaver, as it puts your support arm below the pistol and tends to pull the gun in that direction (to the left for a right handed shooter). Learn to keep both arms (elbows) level or the support side elbow higher than the firing hand. 2. Do the ball and dummy drill (google it), you are flinching. 3. Look up "trigger reset for GLOCKS" and work on that. 4. Dry fire twice for every live round you shoot. Forgot to add, make SURE your firing hand wrist is LOCKED, no side to side or vertical movement. This is way more important on a heavy recoiling 10mm. Thanks for the advice! You are welcome! There is a part II for the above video. If you notice, Travis is shooting just to the left of the line in because his wrist was not locked out. Travis is well trained and practiced, but we ALL need instruction and critical reviews from time to time. Be safe, and take a new shooter shooting, education is the key for all of us! Nice, thanks again. Regarding new shooters, my wife is addicted to shooting the 29 now (she wanted a 26, but not anymore) - so there is at least one more shooter coming on the scene soon :) My biggest problem is 10mm cost of ammo (soon to learn to roll my own though). Before I get into rolling my own I'm getting the Wolf 40 cal conversion barrel so I can shoot more without taking a third job.. I love 10mm, but it's so expensive to practice! When we move to a friendly CC state (within months), this will be my CC. Love the 29SF! |

(OP) User ID: 28143224 United States 01/01/2013 10:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To be a NRA Instructor you must first complete the Basic Pistol / Rifle / Shotgun course (basic course for whatever Firearm you’re going to teach.) You will then have to complete the Basic Instructor Course and the instructor course for the firearm you’re going to teach. To be an Instructor in the Military or for the DOD it would take too long to explain. (But you still have to complete an Instructor class) “Once A Marine Always A Marine” |

(NRA Basic Pistol, BAsic Rifle.. Etc) Then you contact a TC - A training counselor that is certified to train instructors. You will take the instructor course with him. After finishing that course, You will get your credentials in about 4 weeks. Honestly though, there are tons of decent shooters out there that think they can be instructors. The simple truth is that this is a teaching job, if you are not a good teacher, this isn't for you. Being a good shooter is secondary to the ability to effectively teach. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31280352 Yes But that is like asking a driving instructor if they are every worried about teaching someone to drive that is going to get drunk and kill a family with their car. What I do before every class is ask people why they want to learn how to shoot, or why they want a CCW. If they give a bad answer (AE they want to shoot there ex if they bug them, or they want to be able to kill someone I give them their money back and send them on their way. “Once A Marine Always A Marine” |

And thanks for your informative thread! Quoting: woowoo80 Never use pepper spray indoors. Never spray into the wind. Never spray elderly people. Only use pepper spray to gain control. It is not an offensive tool. Also, keep a few vinegar packets in your kit. Apply vinegar to eyes if you're sprayed immediately, it'll counter the effect. Tactical vinegar packs FTW! |

If you get Pepper Spray in your eyes the best thing to do is get air on them hold them open for about sixty seconds and you should be good to try and wash it out with water.

User ID: 18009481 United States 01/01/2013 11:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My CCW is the Taurus Raging Judge Magnum! Quoting: Dirk 13083116 It's a true pocket pistol. Shoots 454 Casull, 45 Colt and 410 shells. Stand back!!! But my question is this: Clip, magazine or are the terms interchangeable in today's world? A clip is a device used to feed a magazine or cylinder of a revolver. Like an unmodified SKS uses a 10 round stripper clip to feed ammo into an attached "magazine" that then stores the rounds for feeding. Lee Enfield uses an 5 round stripper clip Mosin Nagant.....same... M1 garand uses and 8 round enbloc clip. [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

I am thinking about going Kimber, I love them, but might go glock, just because it is much cheaper to shoot. I already own a 22 revolver and a 380 pistol, the 45 is next on the list. |

User ID: 19723065 United States 01/02/2013 12:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Question for ya, OP... What's the ballistic coefficienteny of a 556 69 gr bullet with a 1 and 9 twist? Quoting: Southern Lighthouse BC has nothing to do with the barrel twist. bullet mfr is also necessary to know the exact BC...along with the type of bullet.. Most .223 or 55.6 barrels are a 1 - 7 twist. You cant fire a 69 Gr bullet in a 1-7 twist Barrel. Nice disinfo there, most 556/223 are 1-9 twist and for the heavier grains like 75 you want 1-7 twist. Question? Is .223 synonymous with 5.56 NATO? also.....what was the original caliber of the AR15 and what or who was the first organization to adopt it and in what year? What was the original barrel twist rate? I know because I carried it, I read books before wiki and met spoke at length with a design team member of Eugene Stoner........ “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” ~Seneca PS: I Stole this from another member.... ;) |
