Range report seeking the perfect edc
Quote:
Okay, remember when I said the whole thing about driving different cars? It can be done without taking a formula one course training on it. It's simple and basic to operate another vehicle. It's the same song and dance. Same with handguns. Same darn thing. We're gun enthusiast. Your gun most likely has the same function of another gun. In that rare rabbit out of the hat scenario, you'll more than likely be able to use that outside weapon. It'll be mediocre, and not as well as the weapon you've trained extensively with. But bullets will be flying out of that barrel nonetheless. Keeping you in the fight. Unless by your logic once again, you stop time and say "Be right back. Let me run a magazine through this at the range." Last edited by Tactical Jackalope; October 27, 2013 at 10:31 AM. Reason: iphone typos underlined. |

For an LEO, the likelihood of using a partner's weapon, or another officer's weapon is tremendously higher than that of a citizen using a scavenged gun.

Range report seeking the perfect edc
It is apparent that there are some permanent disconnects in this discussion. Rather than spend the time required to crystallize each point, I think it is more time effective to bow out of this one.
Be well. |

Yeah, we've probably beat this one to death.
For those who would like to gain more experience with guns not normally used or owned, there's ways to do it without mortgaging the house or filling up the safe. Many ranges have gun rentals available, for a fraction of the price of buying anything, Or The next time you go to the range, offer to swap with whoever is there. It would be a rare enthusiast who wouldn't jump at the chance to share. Either one is a way to learn the operations of more types of guns, so at least they wouldn't be a mystery should you find one in your hands.

A little off topic. I returned to the range today. I was not able to shoot the tree I had shot before due to maintenance I assume. I instead shot dots. I took my 26,19,17. I shot all three and wasn't really surprised with the results. I then swapped the warren tactical from my 19 to my 26 with intentions of carrying my 26. What I found did surprise me. I found I shot the 19 far more accurate with the trijicon sights. I realize that accuracy isn't everything but its alot. If nothing else I have great confidence in my accuracy with the 19. I already felt confident in my draw time to first shot with it and follow up shots are on point. I think for a while I'm gonna focus on my 19. I will maintain proficiency with other guns but 90% of my shooting will be my 19.

camsdaddy,
Is it the gun or the sights? Really good, and easy to see, sights can make just about any gun a favorite.

I dont know. I found I shot the 19 with the Trijicon sights better than I shot it with the XS or the Warren Tactical sights. With the Trijicons I shot the 19 better than the 26 or the 17 with the same sights.

Yeah. I prefer Trijicon HD's on my defensive pistols over any other sight on the market.

While there have been days I have been tempted to carry larger and smaller I have pretty well remained consistant. On Sunday I carried a S&W Model 64 snub for a bit. Otherwise I am holdeing fairly steady. I think once I have carried my 19 exclusively for a while. I will begin the search of choosing between my 60, 64 and my Glock 26 for a Sunday gun
