[quote name='McAllyn' timestamp='1354031927' post='851326'] I don't really believe in the supernatural, but I'd test her "otherworldliness" rather quickly. If she wasn't a ghost, she'd be one later that day. Mac EDIT: That sounds terribly Rambo, but I have a bad heart, and don't react well to situations like this. [/quote]My heart is perfectly normal as far as I know and I'd probably crap my pants if somebody pulled this on me. I'm one of those guys that hit the scarecrow on the porch when trick or treating when I was younger. Just a reflex to being scared.

[quote name='Shug' timestamp='1354029118' post='851294'] How do they explain it when some poor sole dies from a heart attack............ But it was pretty funny [/quote] Or a knife to the head.... That was funny as all get out but I would have absolutely lost my cool. Using a little girl was probably not the best idea. I didn't watch the whole thing but I hope they at least did it on all women.

I own one. I originally carried a 19 but traded it for a 23. I can't tell much difference in the recoil and appreciate the bigger caliber. You can't really go wrong with a glock. I owned a 27 before but found the grip was a little small to handle the recoil. I'd go for it.

Yeah. Anyone who is still communicating with this guy just for laughs is asking for it in my opinion. I would just leave it alone. If he threatens you call the police.

I have to find a knife big enough to do this! haha all I have are small knifes. I might sharpen up the edge on my shovel to see what damage I can do!

Got mine sent out today! So I am guessing we are supposed to post up what we get on here? If no one was planning on that it would be pretty cool to share what you got. This is about the only surprise I will be getting this year on Christmas. The wife and I usually just go shopping together and make a day of it because we are both so hard to buy gifts for. She can't understand why I am so excited about this.

It burned my eyes. haha

I just can't believe they let that one through...

So did anyone notice the crooked gun barrel on the gun the guard was holding? The guard on the wall at Woodbury. I got a good laugh out of that.

[quote name='DarylDixon' timestamp='1353732825' post='849943'] I started this thread with an open mind because i wanted to be sure and see all viewpoints. I will admit that this thread has softened my heart toward condition 1 carry. I suppose that if I am actually upholstering my XD, that I would most likely only be doing so because I have decided that I have been threatened to the point where it is necessary to use force to defend myself. That being said, a good holster that adequately covers the trigger guard is in one regard an additional safety. I am seriously reconsidering condition 1 carry. Thanks for all the input:) [/quote]

[quote name='DarylDixon' timestamp='1353701106' post='849838'] A revolver doesn't have enough rounds for me to consider carrying one. It would use fine motor skills to chamber a revolver. I carry an XD as well. It cracks me up that so many 1911 guys believe in having it cocked with the safety on while looking down on an XD in condition 3. In a defensive situation, I'll have mine ready to fire before the 1911 guy will. [/quote] I'll bet there are more than a few guys who would take you up on this challenge.... not me as I carry Glocks or something without a manual safety. I am not judging or doubting your personal ability but from my experience a safety comes off a lot quicker than racking a slide and can be done easily with one hand.

[quote name='jcoosi' timestamp='1353511355' post='849109'] My supplier had plenty just some assembly required on my end. [/quote] Took me a second but I got it .

Legal risk? Probably not. BUT the chances of missing your target go up which leads to a greater chance of being held accountable for a bullet that hit an unintended target.

Well you don't want to leave out PS3 or PC if this is done! Good idea though if not too much trouble. I'm not sure how many folks on here actually play but it may be more than we think.

[quote name='Cruel Hand Luke' timestamp='1353364877' post='848430'] The marksmanship is marksmanship no matter where the gun started. Once it is out you either hit what you aim at or not. The draw merely adds somewhere between .75 to 1.5 seconds to the equation....if you know how to cut corners and buy time (exploiting their OODA cycle ) you can buy that time back...and then some. As to training and your logic, the point was that since you seem to be saying that since you are not likely to be killed in training that the stress is so different that the training is either irrelevant or makes no difference in performance......yet we have volumes of stories of people in life and death stress situations where they say "I didn't think about what might I just did what I had been trained to do". And I have experienced that myself. I didn't think about what might happen I just did what I knew I had to do. Afterwards it was "damn...I'm lucky to be alive". In the middle of it that never crossed my mind....I didn't have any time to think about it until later.... Again I'm not interested in what the typical" least common denominator" level guys can do under stress. If in the moment you are worried about death and not intently focused on performing the skills then you are probably going to lose anyway. [/quote] People keep up with statistics for a reason. Again I am not saying you are wrong for training to shoot however you wish to just stating my opinion. In something this important I choose to go with what works most of the time.

Well if you have access to there level of training then I suppose you CAN simulate these situations. They do this for a living so I don't think we are talking about the same thing. Also I don't see why you think training isn't necessary with my logic. My logic is playing the odds in my favor. To address the seal team reference on another point. They don't have to keep there weapons concealed and holstered until they for sure think there life is being threatened. Again another analogy that doesn't really apply to this situation.

Better but still not the same thing. Getting killed or seriously injured by a tackle is FAR less likely than a knife or bullet. The point I am trying to make is that we don't really have a way to train for that massive adrenaline dump and loss of motor skills. A quarterback can train for those hits. Again I am not saying it can't be done but in this instance I would rather not play the odds when they are stacked so high against it. Just my opinion though.

[quote name='Cruel Hand Luke' timestamp='1353362245' post='848395'] And you will perform to the level you have internalized in training. A jumpshot with someone guarding you in the state tournament is a complex thing. Choosing whether you will use the board and bank it or shoot straight for the rim is a decision to be made in microseconds under stress and largely depends on how far you are, what the angle to the basket is and how the guy guarding you is playing you ....yet people do it every year. How? Because they practice game situations regularly. [/quote] Not trying to be smart about this but here goes: If the guy guarding you was going to stab you in the gut with a knife if you missed the shot wouldn't it be harder to make that shot. Again add in the adrenaline dump and I bet you would miss that shot. Maybe not though..

I think it looks sweet! I don't know much about them though.

Here is a simple test you can do with a buddy if you have access to a place to try it. We did it in one of our classes at my local range. 1: Set up one or two target stands and have your buddy draw shapes and numbers on them without you knowing where they are. 2: With you back to the targets do something to get your adrenaline going. Act like you are fighting someone off. Think bad thoughts. Anything to get your heart racing. 3: Have your buddy call out one of the random numbers or shapes then turn, identify the target and shoot. This will kind of simulate a slight adrenaline dump and just how it can affect your accuracy. The adrenaline dump you will get in a real situation will be far greater from what I have read and been told. I am not saying you or anyone cannot shoot an accurate head shot but based on what I saw others do and experienced myself it will be difficult. Also keep in mind that this test is on a still target that you can anticipate the location of. Add in movement and, well I think you see where I am going.
