As the government gets more tyrannical the Magna Carta, Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are going to become more and more popular.
Guy in the pic seems to be holding that gun all wrong.
No he doesn’t.
Sorry I couldn't resist
There are nine school districts in Arapahoe County. Does the sheriff's department have a deputy in each school during the school day? Or was this a case of lucky timing and the officer happened to be on site when the guy showed up?
Once again, a post regarding a mass shooting (anywhere) contains the phrase “DERANGED SHOOTER.” Movie theater, mall, school, campus, Army base, Naval shipyard, downtown (wherever) that phrase constantly is at hand.
We have degenerated into a society that cherishes, protects and assures the human and constitutional rights of the criminally insane while the basic “right to life” of law abiding people of all ages are being slowly eroded in the name of Political Correctness.
How far down will we sink?
Meantime, keep the magazine full, one in the chamber and the safety “ON”. They pray you never NEED that thing.
The R party and the anti-conservative people in the R party may want to consider that the one group of people in the US that has held the line and held up under withering attacks the past two years is the American gun owner. The NRA is having success by fighting for what they believe. Meanwhile, the R party, funding ambiguous candidates and losing key elections (Romney), attacks the Americans who are fighting back successfully and who are generating a new wave of popular conservative understanding and appeal.
It’s just a high hold favored by competition shooters. It allows for less muzzle flip and faster follow-on shots. Most regular shooters, myself included, use a more traditional hold.
You do what works for you. No points for style.
Is this a revolver? I figured it was a semi auto. If it’s a revolver then I can see that position although his fingers on his left hand might get a shot of hot gas from the cylinder leakage. Seen some ugly pics of left hand damaged in just that way.
Second look, it’s his thumb that might get a little hot.
I don’t recognize the gun. Is it a 22?
The guy in the pic seems to be holding that gun correctly.
Looks like a good grip to me.
Care to enlighten us how that is a poor grip?
Looks like a race gun, probably a hicap 1911 in .40 or 9mm.
What TB said. A semi-auto, probably built on a 1911 frame. The danger of the high hold is having the slide run over your hand, but the guy looks like he knows what he’s doing.
I use the thumb-by-thumb hold for revolvers too, but you never let the left thumb get very far forward, because of the danger of cylinder gap gases, like you warned. The left hand should be pressed against the right hand and the front of the grip, not wandering somewhere on the frame of the gun.
Now you done done it!
That just another newer stance being used in recent years. The parallel stance is now kaput. The Weaver stance was outlawed ten or fifteen years ago. Whatever you learned back in the military will no longer work; your targets just absolutely will not fall down.
Unfortunately, these competition shooters aren't aware that the newest, kewlest shooting stance is the "Obama" style -- one limp wrist, and one knee pointed inward, while saying "eeeewwwww".
I’m kinda wondering about the spent casings that will fly into the guy standing next to him...
They have the potential to cause an exciting reaction called the “Ohhh, I got a hot casing down muh shirt and its burning muh nipples” dance...
