Well... I believe in the Go Big or Go Home theory (ask the guy me and my boy pissed off at the gym today when two fat kids warm up with his work-set) so I'm gonna expand on that a little bit...
Well folks... A while ago I had a friend and TFTG Follower out of SC shoot me a message to the effect of "Hey, it might be a good idea to do a write-up on training in cold weather gear, what with winter here and all."

Ammunition... We all know how important it is to our carry sidearms of choice. Hell, when it comes to guns, the ammunition involved is more of the actual weapon and the firearm itself is just the delivery system, as it is the ammunition that does the damage. Kind of like an ICBM. The missile itself poses very little (relative... I certainly don't want one falling on my house, but I don't want to get pistol-whipped or butt-stroked either.) harm. The warhead however...
Choice of ammunition, specifically an article making some statements after disagreeing (rightfully in my eyes... I agree with the author, though I think he could've been much more tactful in the delivery of his statements) with formula for choosing caliber as suggested by a gunwriter who I've read a little of here and there, is also the root cause of a HUGE shit storm in the gun industry right now... (namely because of this article right here: http://www.activeresponsetraining.net/handgun-stopping-power-science-vs-40-years-of-experience) And while I must say that I agree 100% with the CONCLUSION of this article and that there are some writers that I disagree with more often than I agree with the opinions of, I can't call them an idiot because in the end what they write is no different than what I'm writing right now... An arrogant, one-sided opinion that is just like armpits and assholes... Everyone has a couple, they all stink, and some more so than others. But in the end, it's just an opinion. Don't like it? Well... Drive on. If you have a carry gun and a separate range gun... You're not training.
I'm personally of the opinion that setting one gun up for the range and using a different setup for carry, then your range time is not as effective as it can be... Yes. That means a .22 as well. While any range time is better than nothing, if you think you can use two different setups and get the same gains you're totally fooling yourself. |
