Tomorrow is going to be a GREAT DAY!

THAT stuff is FUN. sometimes tho it doesn't work. but if done right, misfires or non booms are rare. as I said that stuff is fun. bullet has to be decent size though. no tiny ammo . I hit one with a 50bmg got bored shot the entire bottle. all I can say is WOW. enjoy, and take pics or vid even.

Problem with the crush grip, as the article mentions, is as the gun shakes the point of aim changes. It still might be Roughly centered, but not so good for accuracy competition. So... fine for self defense, not so fine for accuracy.

Point of aim is always shifting sight verification is constant throughout the shot cycle, and the crush grip does not make the gun shake when done properly it is the most stable platform there is. Robby Leatham uses the crush grip, Phil Strader who I know personally uses the crush grip, teaches the grip and  the instructor who taught him is a very good friend of mine, Jerry Miculek uses the crush when he shoots Semi auto and a modified version of the crush for revolver, Brian Enos uses the crush grip. IDPA and USPA master Eric Fuson an acquaintance of mine and another of my teachers uses and teaches the crush grip as well. I'm no where near as good as any of those guys but with a proper crush grip I put 17 of 17 rounds into a 10" steel plate from a bone stock service model XD9 all day long.

This guy here puts round after round through the same hole he can empty a single stack .45 at 10 yards into a hole the size of a dime. And he hits 4" plates at 50 yards all day long, guess what he uses a crush grip as well.

Talking at crossed purposes.

ISSF. Target = 25 meters (82 yards) Crushing the grip will not bode well for accuracy single handed shooting.

HA! Yamaha. As if I were an amatuer.   

Step 1: Mix thoroughly the ingredients in the can
Step 2: Pour 1/2-1lb into sandwich bag
Step 3: Using stretch wrap...make that bag into a tight brick
Step 4: Blow something up!!!







This, is my DRAGON GUN




These two are actually from last year, but seeing as how today was a continuation of a theme....

The crush grip is not a single handed grip, and as I said I hit 10" plates, (25cm) at 50 yards (45 meters) all day long. Lance does the same thing during training demo's except he uses 4"(10cm) plates.

In the crush grip roughly 80% of your grip force comes from your non dominate hand, the dominate hand provides the fine motor control making small adjustments to the site picture and allowing the trigger finger to manipulate the trigger without being influenced by that hand pulling the sights off as it tries to provide grasping force and fine motor control.

From the underside


From the right side.

I'm a fan of the weaver grip style myself

Heres a decent guide for someone who's interested in getting into pistol shooting.

Unless you are a prohibited person, you can get your firearms license in Australia. Won't take too long either.

Ok, guy I work with posted this on his FB. last bullet you'll ever need.... wow....

Hey Michael, let me aswk you this. since youre an Australian, and I assume non prohibited pick out an easily available weapon there, cost, and time involved in LEGALLY obtaining it, what time we looking at? I know its been mentioned before, but my firend, im lazy,

Ok, steps to go from Non Gun Owning and Unlicensed to Licensed Gun Owners.

1 - Join gun club (there is another method, but quickest is this)
2 - Do safety course and get Cert of Attainment
3 - Get passport photos taken
4 - Fill in Weapons License Application and submit with proof of gun club membership, cert of Attainment and photos.
5 - Weapons Licensing will NOT even look at this for 28 days.
6 - After 28 days they will do a Police Check on you. Possibly 2 weeks if you're lucky. Once you are clear they will send you your license.
7 - When license arrives Go shopping.
8 - Having found the gun you want (eg, 22lr rifle) you need to fill out an Application for a Permit To Acquire (PTA) - this can be done online - which includes the dealer's details (there are other methods but this is the easiest for a new person)
9 - If this is your first gun Weapons Licensing will NOT look at it until 28 days
10 - After 28 days they will look at your application. If approved they will send you your PTA. Maybe 2 weeks.
11 - Take PTA to gun store. They fill in their details, give copy to you and forward details on to Weapons Licensing so the gun can be entered in their system against your name.

Time...

1 week for course - it's a 2 day course but assume you cannot get in right away.
28 days for not looking
2 weeks for police check
1 week for license in the mail
1 week for shopping
28 days for not looking at first application
2 weeks before you get the pta
1 week to schedule gun shop time.

Total time around 16 weeks.

This is for rifles.

For a handgun (pistol)... you need to be a member of a Pistol Club for a Min 6 months before you can even apply for your license. And the application needs to include a copy of your range Attendance Log Book showing the min number of Matches have been participated in, proof of club membership, plus a letter from the Club Pres recommending you be granted the pistol license.

You missed a faster way:

1. Be a criminal
2. Buy one on the black market or steal one

Ergo: that's why criminals have guns and honest people do not.

Picked up a late Japanese Kosikawa Type 38 6.5MM Arisaka at a show last weekeend. Vet bring back with untouched Mum. It has battle damage to the top handguard, looks like a bullet went through the handguard just in front of the rear sight (right to left). It did not touch the sight or barrel. Also had the original composite canvass and rubber sling, a very rare part and valuable in itself. Bore is nice and it cleaned up very nice. It had the safety knob, firing pin spring and firing pin removed and they did not come with the gun. Stopped by a friends house and he had the missing pieces in a parts lot he bought a while back, wouldn't let me pay him anything for the parts.

$135, now in firing condition, with a ton of history. Probably an Okinawa or Iwo capture, no rust under the wood like most of the jungle bringbacks. Worth $400 plus in it's present condition.

No forms or paperwork, no begging some "authority" for permission, private transaction at a show with no records. I have a carry permit so they checked me out an fingerprinted me when the permit was issued 5 years ago. I seldom carry (never on my bike).

How, HOW!!!?? is this ok?    >:(This has me in a bit of a foul mood!

err... maybe different journos will use the story info in different ways .. and i think that the story concerned is someones 'stock footage' .. that can be edited in a variety of ways...

BUT ... the version i saw on the tv last night... had the pistols half hidden ... one in a box of soft toys near a wall.... and the other in between some books on a shelf (IIRC!?) ....

none of this candy on the table nonsense.... not saying that it hasnt been portrayed like that elsewhere!! ..

but .. i expect its going to be used in other ways/edits now also... till the anti's work themselves up into a state of sheer orgasmic frothing "ban Ban BAN!!!!!!" ...

then next month the newsies will switch back to Al Kader and Terry Wrist .. those lads touring around the world from Afghani-vlostock or or somewhere?!
