    I just shot my foot

    I mean, it's not like it's a 9mm that'll blow your lungs out.

  2. Most accurate chronograph?

    You've got some choices, some of them quite good. If you're interested in purely velocity at the muzzle, some of the old kinds of chronos work pretty well, as does the Magnetospeed (as long as you don't shoot the bayonet, no matter how 'lightly'). The Magnetospeed does seem to be very accurate...

  3. 4G Tactical?

    I was going to say - I'd never heard of 4G doing training at River Bend - looks like most of their courses happen at South River.

  4. AITA for not training folks for free?

    I'm going to be a contrarian (again). You can BE the AH, when it's your time, effort and resources involved.

  5. Armorer courses, 1911/AK

    As of 2022, Bob Marvel used to run a course up at his place in Nebraska, but that was primarily a 'build' rather than general 1911 gunsmithing course. https://www.nelsoncustomguns.com/bobclass/

  7. River Bend Gun Club Questions

    I haven't used that range and haven't attended one of those events, but here's a page from a shoot last year using the same range: https://www.rbgc.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=265856&module_id=471044

  8. River Bend Gun Club Questions

    Activities marked in Yellow are usually open to the public. If you click thru' to the event entry, it'll tell you whether registration is required and will usually have a flyer or additional web link that explains what the rules for attendance are. I've been a member for a couple years now, and...

  9. Let's talk a little about carrying...

    No blanks, I presume

  10. Let's talk a little about carrying...

    I can see a valid reason why I might want other people to carry in Condition 3 - for my safety. People who carry guns who never practice, have poor trigger discipline and/or insist on carrying with an inappropriate or no holster, just to name a few. You have to admit, most of you have seen or...

  11. Let's talk a little about carrying...

    I work from home and have a fat gut. Carrying all the time is a real chore for me. Obviously, that's a bigger risk than carrying appendix OR in Condition 3. Getting habituated to carrying, and really knowing your manual of arms and training to it are key.

  12. Let's talk a little about carrying...

    The underlying philosophy of carrying in Condition 3 (Israeli carry, 'none in the pipe') was promoted in print by Fairburn & Sykes in "Shooting to Live", but presumably predates that. And of course it was (and I think still is) observed by the IDF and as noted, a number of other militaries. If...

  13. place to shoot

    Last time I checked - about 8 years ago - I remember it being over $200/year. There are no prices on the site at https://adairsvillesportingrange.com/ but I guess you could phone them.

  14. N GA Clay Ranges/Clubs

    Then I'd say Garland deserves a visit, if only to support Jack and the team up there.

  15. N GA Clay Ranges/Clubs

    There's River Bend, but you'd need to become a member - and it's probably only a bit further away than Garland Mountain. I'm not a shotgun guy, but the impression I get is that the facilities are great.

  16. Training here in Ga.

    Is Massad local to N GA?

  17. Training here in Ga.

    It depends on the kind of shooting you're looking at. Bill Rogers' place is up in Ellijay has a great reputation. I've not done a course with his firm, but I know a few quite experienced guys who have, reporting back that they thought the course was worth the money.

  18. Anybody else quicker without dot?

    Almost exactly my experience.

  19. Anybody else quicker without dot?

    As your eyes (usually) deteriorate with age, you'll start to find that all other things being equal, a red dot becomes more and more useful. Anyone can learn to use a red dot, it's all down to familiarity and training, but the amount of training will vary person-to-person. It can be dispiriting...

  20. Anybody else quicker without dot?

    The problem with prisms in that application is that you don't have much, if any, choice. A prism sight tends to need more light, and comes in a larger package. Quite feasible for rifles, but less so for pistols.
