That’s pretty good shooting in the wind.  Heck, that would be good shooting without wind.

These are both lengthy videos which could have been shortened a bit and the points still communicated.

First up, John Lovell and his chief trainer debate, compare and contrast.

I find that I don’t go quite as far forward on the top of the frame with my left hand thumb as John does in his grip, so I concur more with his trainer.  Pushing my thumb as far forward as John does torques my left wrist in a kinetically odd and uncomfortable way.  I like his pistol doctrine of “equilateral arm extension” while presenting because I use an isosceles stance.

Next up, Mike Glover just happens to do a lengthy video on handgun fighting and proper grip technique.

I concur with his statement “The grip comes from vicing the top of the frame” with your opposing thumb.

He puts it through the paces.  Interesting review.  The gun probably isn’t for me, but it’s certainly an interesting gun and cartridge.

Of course, I agree with one fellow in the comments.  Firearms are only as good as the person who owns them.  If they’re never intended to be used as a guarantee against tyranny, you may as well not have them.

ARFCOM: He missed the boat on N.C. pistol repeal bill, which has already been vetoed by the Goober of N.C., Roy Cooper.

This goes along with an article I read a day or two ago (via WiscoDave).

The man selling me the pistol puts his finger on a number in a box in the top upper left corner. That number is 2,657. It is 12:30 PM on a Tuesday.

“That’s the number of pistols sold and sent for background checks so far today in California.”

“Two thousand six hundred and fifty-seven guns sold today in California? Really?”

“It’ll be at least 5,000 by midnight tonight.”

“Really?”

“Really. We’ve been seeing between 5,000 and 6,000 a day since January. In California. Seven days a week.”

Ponder that one again.  5000 guns per day in California.  Tens or hundreds of thousands more across this land.  The gun control horse left the barn a very long time ago.  They’ll never get it back in.

I found this to be a useful and very practical video.

News from Alaska.

The gun of an Alaska state trooper shot while trying to serve an arrest warrant malfunctioned during the encounter, charging documents said.

The trooper underwent several surgeries after Monday’s shooting, according to an affidavit signed by an investigator for the agency, Timothy Cronin, the Anchorage Daily News reported on Wednesday.

The shooting happened outside of a general store in Anchor Point when trooper Bruce Brueggeman attempted to serve an arrest warrant to Bret Herrick, 60.

Herrick was arrested a day later near his home. He has been charged with attempted murder and first-degree assault in the shooting, and was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday.

Alaska State Troopers are issued Glock 22s.  Too bad he wasn’t using a 1911.  My 1911s have never failed to function, not even once in thousands and thousands of rounds.

I know.  8 + 1.  Well, his Glock 22 gave him 0 + 0.

The controllers never sleep.

My purpose here is not to argue about the merits or dangers of the “treatment”—my own position is that I have seen enough credible evidence of serious risks to make me realize I am not qualified to give my informed consent to receive the shot(s), however many those turn out to be. But that’s not what I want to talk about.  We’re here to look at threats to our right to keep and bear arms, and Austin’s mandate creates a huge one.

By now I presume most AmmoLand readers have seen attorney and author Evan Nappen’s analysis of how not being “vaccinated” could land someone on the “No Fly” list, and how Democrats (and some idiot Republicans) have been pushing for “No Fly/No Buy” for years.

Leave it to gun-grabbers to figure out a way to exploit the health hysteria to advance citizen disarmament. That, along with Sec. Austin’s total order raises a serious question.

“If they are tried and convicted in the appeals court, the case reaches the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. If a service member is convicted in this court, they would likely receive a dishonorable discharge, a bad-conduct discharge, or, in the case of an officer, a dismissal.”

Yes, that had occurred to me, but I thought the specific question on Form 4473 had to do with “other than honorable discharge.”  Either way, that box would have to be checked, and no sales transaction would take place.  For the rest of their lives.

This is a serious situation for Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines.  But the trouble doesn’t stop there.

• 1) HR 4980 has been filed in the Congress to put all unvaccinated persons on the No Fly List.
• 2) The No Fly, No Buy, Gun Control law has been bouncing around since 2018 and has Bipartisan support.

Simple.  Force unvaccinated individuals on the no-fly list, and then they are entered into the NICS database.

The fun never stops does it?

He raises a very interesting question at the end of the video that had not occurred to me when I first saw the stupid report. Point: virtually everything you see is staged propaganda, or has the high probability of being so.
