The subsonic loads on the youtube vid were particularly cool. Loudest noise the ding on the target <g> I knew a guy who used to be with Sionics back in the Werbel days (God, I am old) He used to let me play with his toys, including the suppressed MAC 10 ( no MAC11 back then) with .380 subsonics. Also some tricked out Colt Woodsman, Browning and Sig handguns. Of course he had a class III (?) FFL. It's a shame those suppressors are so darn illegal. I mean, if you're gonna shoot something it just seems more polite to be quiet about it. <g>

I carry a cell phone. And half the time i forget that <s>

>I now carry a Glock model 27. Since I'm not working the streets anymore, I just stick it in my pocket. It carries 10 rounds of .40 caliber and nobody knows I have it. As to my all time favorite gun...I'd probably say it is the H&K MP5. That is a sweet shooting gun. You don't get the rocking motion of the M-16, but it will pump out the entire 30 - .9mm rounds from the magazine in a few seconds.

>>>>I thought I knew how to shoot because I shot competitavely on a range since I was a kid. Ha! Got some combat training on snap shooting and got a big wakeup call that target shooting was like hunting at the zoo. I actually ended up better at pointing than aiming as I am left handed and right eyed.

>>>>The most memorable part of the experience was the guy who told me "Remember, the goal of a gunfight is that only one side gets to shoot. Make sure it's you." <g>

>>>Funny you should mention "pointing" that's exactly what they teach, as a matter of fact, they said shooting is as simple as pointing at someone and saying "hey you". To this day, one of the SWAT guys I trained with will say that to me if he sees me. Another favorite phrase was "slow is fast."

>>Aiming is a tough habit to break for a target shooter, but when you get the hang of the pointing thing it sure is faster (and a lot easier if you're in motion <g>)

>>My problem is the size of my hands. I've always had custom grips on my own weapons ( except for my replica black-powder 3rd model Dragoon ) as that's the only way I can get the right distance between web and trigger finger. Me shooting a stock SW 38, Ruger MkIII or Sig is like a bear ride a tricycle (and results in a pattern about the size of a bear on a tricycle). Sometimes if I have to shoot a public weapon I'll tape a wadded up target to the back of the grip to get the right distance for trigger pull. Of course people think you're just making excuses, but ergonomics is a very big deal, especially on snap shooting. I even got pretty good at making custom grip mods with epoxy resin. If I still did much shooting I think I'd build some portable sleeves for a 1911, Sig, Glock, Ruger and Browning just to have ready if I had to use somebody elses weapon. My own CZ 75b, 1911 and P226 were tricked out long ago. When I used a Python I was able to modify a Packmyr. The Buckmark

>> Bull has some expensive target grips but I'm really tired of them because I don't enjoy that kind of shooting much anymore and I think it would just handle better if I built something like what's on the CZ ...

>>( wow, long time since I geeked out talkin' guns <g> My wife doesn't even like to know they're in the house, though for some reason handguns seem scarier to her than the long guns. There's a Franchi SPAS-15 and even a Colt 1878 coach gun ( the TTN replica actually ) that are a lot scarier - the latter being my personal favorite along with the 3rd model Walker Dragoon. Guess I'm old fashioned <s>)
