As I look at all the guns and equipment and impressed by laser aiming devices I fail to see their merit much in a self defense combat position which usually is on very close quarters. I can see however where may be somewhat helpful in low or no light combat situations. Anyone care to try and "sell me" on equipping my CCW with a laser?
No. I encourage students to train with a red dot if they wish, but seriously discourage use of one on a carry gun. One reason is that if you come to rely on it, you will be out of luck if the battery fails. It is far better to train yourself to aim and shoot without it.
A red dot is useful to train in "point and shoot" especially, but I see little other advantage to using one.
Need info on how to become a cc instructor in ky
Why would someone do that?
Yes, this is about what I expected. It doesn't seem like it would fire, but it also doesn't seem like a good idea.
Thank you for the reply!
posted by Jgirl...I'm cross eye dominant and want to learn to shoot a handgun. I don't really want to learn to shoot left handed at this point. I've been canting my head and closing my non dominant eye to aim thus far, but I still seem to have a hard time aiming. I've tried to shoot with my right eye, but have a really hard time keeping it open when I close my left. Other than using a patch to re-train my eyes, do you have any advice that would make learning to shoot a handgun any easier??

I would like some advice please on how to aim while keeping both eyes open. When I try keeping both eyes open ,I see double everything. I am pretty sure I am right eye dominant. Any advice?
Carrying a unloaded weapon does no good other than, if your a real good poker player, you can bluff your way out of trouble, hopefully, that is if the other guy/gal does not have a firearm. At this point all it is, is a piece of metal! I guess you could always use your gun as a hammer, or you could throw it at them. But be ready to be charged with "Brandishing" a weapon, which is against the law. If your pistol has a decocker on it , then charge the weapon, decock it, and then holster it and leave it alone. This way your ready for whatever trouble might come your way.
Remember, First and foremost, why your carrying a cw in the first place, to "protect yourself and your loved ones" Nothing more nor less.
Think about this, if the perp is 20 to 30 feet away from you, which is a good distance away, so you think, he/she can cover that distance in about 2 - 3 second's, a lot faster than you can pull, rack/chamber a round, and then find your target/perp and shoot!!! If you carry a revolver, then its different, still you have to draw, and a quire the target, hopefully while doing it calmly and not under stress, which we all know is not going to be the case. What people/CCW's don't understand is that you have to make a life or death decision, in a matter of seconds, which will forever change your life. Just remember things are going to happen super fast and that you want to be on the winning side of the confrontation.
My question is in order to get a licence to carry is there a test required at the class offered on handling a gun as well as shooting a gun?
It's called striker drag. The firing pin/striker isn't retracting before the ejection of the case starts.Why do some handguns leave a small "tail" on the primer where the firing pin strikes it?
