Comment on Muzzle Direction, a Big Deal by 1slow

Some turd sweeping you with the muzzle is: at the least not caring that they are threatening your life and at the most demonstrating homicidal intent. I cannot read the turds mind.

Its a long ugly story, but I was once at a class where the instructors did nothing to regulate a guy who had severe muzzle control issues and was trowing shots directly past guys from my team who were also at the training.

I had to advise this guy that our team had made a pact that when, not if, he clipped one of us the other guys would all shoot him for doing so as we could only assume he had lost his mind and gone off the deep end. He got the message and cleaned up his act, but the entire situation was far from satisfactory.

Being older and presumably wiser now I woulda packed up, demanded a refund, and made the 16 hour drive back home instead.

It amazes me how fast folks can do this drill. Robert is a beast in his own right and to do it with borrowed equipment speaks volumes.

Good job Vogel!

ford — Robert specifically said he was taking his time to guarantee the head shots. In my experience that’s a big part of what separates people who are shooting it for a coin vs someone just posting a 1-time “best” result. You also have to keep in mind that his gear really was pretty sub-optimal.

Interesting to compare his coin run with some of your most recent practice runs with similar times – his draw was slower, even on the 4.39 run, but his reload and splits were much faster.

I had the unfortunate experience once on a range where some newbies showed up really excited by their new AK and no inkling of muzzle discipline. After repeatedly asking them to not point a loaded rifle at me and my friend, I finally turned and pointed a fully loaded M1A at them and asked them to put the rifle down or leave. They chose to leave.

Not to go off topic but what happened to the 90k round p30? Did it cross the 100k mark?

Comment on Finger: Safe When? by John

Rule 2 was not designed in such a way that you compromise valid technique, muscle memory, etc in order to avoid muzzling a noncombatant. But safe gun handling isn’t based on just one rule. All three of those rules would have to work in concert. Assume your gun is loaded, but if that is not applicable, assume that you should not muzzle something you are unwilling to shoot, if that is also not applicable you should keep your finger off the trigger. If you failed at all three of those you have a ND. Just my .02
