And Now, The Rest of the Story
Ah, so apparently two of the bullets totally penetrated the BG’s body but didn’t penetrate the BACK of his Carhartt jacket. This is called “perfect bullet performance” and makes a lot more sense. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/nypd-police-bullets-didn-bounce-knife-wielding-psycho-article-1.2659348

Bill Drill
Working the Bill Drills. Been doing it for three practice sessions now. From just a few hours ago, we have a 2.24, all As though admittedly somewhat vertically strung. Amazing what dry fire and watching yourself on video can accomplish in short order. For the foreseeable future, this is what I’ll be doing in practice.…

I have just added two new entires to the Free Articles page. One is an interview I did with pistolsmith and USPSA/IPSC Grand Master Bruce Gray, the second is the long awaited Raped Version (to go with The Original, Totally Honest Version) of the HK 45 C article led to my no longer writing for…
