I'll add that there are other good sources for info available online, but you have to look far and wide to find them.

Many of thd bbs are inhabited by sophmore-types spewing dogmatic non-sense like "my gun's better than your gun".

IMO, the best and most informative websites, (like http://home.earthlink.net/~spwenger/ )tend to relay time honored wisdom like "there is no ONE BEST way" and "find what works best for YOU", even "forgo the extra gadgets and GET SOME TRAINING" (courtesy of Dave McC!)

I'm reading Louis Awerbuck, and it's great! Aside from being hillarious, his best writing teaches "Use your head, your gun won't think for you". That sentiment would never fly in a glossy rag.

I guess the bottom line is CONSIDER THE SOURCE.
