Re: I'm disturbed...

Have you tried Action Pistol yet? Not only is it hellfun but it can get you used to the whole IDPA thing. I haven't done IDPA yet but I plan on picking it up as part of my monthly shooting in addition to Action Pistol. I haven't tried out any sort of competition since JROTC. I really want to though...

Re: I'm disturbed...

Something the airline sometimes check is opening the latches then trying to touch the gun inside without removing the lock. If they can then it's a no-go. With a long hasp like that you mig...

Re: Top Shot 3

Also, I'm fairly terrified that a swat officer could shoot that terribly with her duty weapon. She blamed it on pressure...but come on! Serving warrants on dangerous felons isn't pressure? Sheesh. Remind me to stay out of IL if that's the shooting capability of their officers. Actually, did anyone ...
