The Sacred Cows of Pistol Shooters

Add yours…

  1. If I buy a new pistol, my shooting will improve

  2. Low left - it’s the sights/trigger

  3. The grip angle is so important to shooting well

  4. I only need 5/6/7/8 rounds for any gunfight I’ll be in

  5. I don’t need to practice malfuction clearance, I just need a “reliable” handgun

  6. Practicing weak hand is a waste of time

  7. My XYZ pistol is better than your ABC pistol because it is metal/plastic/German

“I don’t shoot past 15 yards cause then I should have a rifle.”

3

I carry a Colt .45 because they don’t make a Colt .46.:rolleyes:

John Moses Browning was a GOD.

Glock Perfection.

4

If I shoot enough I will hit something so I’m willing to carry a pistol that doesn’t fit my hand well to have lots of bullets on tap.

5

I have a laser, why would I need to spend money on low light training?

6

Hey, wait a minute… He was at least a Saint.:smiley:

7

“I don’t need any additional training because my buddy who is a NRA instructor showed me how to shoot when I bought my pistol”…

" I don’t need training anymore because I passed the course to get my LTCF"…

8

If I file off/reduce/reshape some part, I’ll be faster than if I practice a lot with a stock gun.

9

If it can’t print a one inch group at 25 yards than it doesn’t have acceptable accuracy.

“The only purpose of a handgun is for fighting to get to your rifle”…Clint Smith

11

A subset of the above:

4b) If I need more than x rounds for a gunfight, I should have brought a machine gun/artillery/tank/nuke/etc…

Oh, and this nonsense:

12

Most gunfights are closer than 15 yards, I don’t need to practice distance shooting.

13

-don’t lube your gun, it will only attract dirt and sand causing malfunctions.

-use x-y-z lube, it’s “bonds” to the metal on a “molecular level.”

  • x-y-z type polymer gun grip must be stippled because when it gets wet or “bloody” it will slip out of your hand.

-if you ever want to shoot a perfect score in x-y-z pistol drill you will need to be shooting a 1911.

I feel like I could go all day with this.

  1. No pistol is worth a shit as a defensive weapon unless it has been deemed “duty-grade” by the “experts” at M4C.
15

The Israelis use <item/technique>, therefore it must be useful.

16

I love this thread.

17

“it’s reliable, you were just limp wristing it”

18

I think you might be confusing this site with 10-8.

19

If I was running a match grade weapon then I could shoot like that too!

I must just be having an off-day at the range (because all gun fights happen when your “on”)

9mm is 45ACP set to stun.

You might be able to expand a 9mm but you can’t shrink a 45.

This could go on and on…:cool:

Good thread MP!

You know I carry a ______ cal because it’s got knock down power. Even if I knick his chest hair it’s going to explode their heart.
