RE: Concealed carry mistakes with everyday carry gear!

Automatic holsters pretty cool idea.

When I was working on learning gold mining I spent some time with the cowboy fast draw people and they showed me what they did I just couldn't keep up.

However the next season I show up and I had my 1911.

The grand champion kid wanted to test me. 21-in Target at 21 ft. First person to score a hit wins. The kid was faster than me. However he missed really wide I can't remember it was left or right not a vertical Miss.

Meanwhile I had just smoothly worked my draw not pushing ultra hard just maintaining proper fundamentals... While he was missing my shot punched the center out of their target. Nobody ever really got to the center of that Target. I do remember it made a perfect splash of lead on the exact center.

After that nobody wanted to bully me for the fact that they thought they could shoot.

After that shot. We were all done competing. LoL I never had a issue until the last night when I decided it was best to just pack up and head on out.

That second season was pretty rough.

Oh well learning lessons are exactly that.

No I just need to track down one of those single stage reloaders. And the extra little tools that I'm going to need for my reloading 458 socom project.

True that, a fast miss will just get you killed!

I 💕 love 💗💙 my 1911! Just a little big to daily carry, LOL 🤕😆😁 but it will cut paper out to 200 yards. Pure Nasty 🤢 up close, and terribly reliable! I have a 15 round magazine that makes it even more serious....

I bought a full Lee reloading kit with a matching book. Then you only need buy the dies for whatever you want to reload. Very good starter kit!

The fastest draw I've ever seen was a sweet thing, with a mouse gun in a holster attached to her center bra strap. She drew and placed a round on target in 1.4 seconds! Don't want to piss her off for sure.... ☺️💥😆

Now, pet that spoiled dog!

I'm not sure how far out the ballistics with a 1911 will reach...

I hit a 12-in square or so little old TV at 100 yards once. One day I was out shooting with my Marine corps brother and he got upset. Here I am shooting rounds across the canyon at the embankment on the other side of the canyon. He totally thought I was just randomly blasting.

About 300 yards off and I had asked him exactly how far is that one rock over there just above where my rounds were impacting. It was pretty big rock. My brother laughed and said there's no way you can hit that it's dang near exact 300 yards out.

Now I have to say this Marine corps veteran has an extremely specific set of skills and one of them happens to know exactly by eyeball within about 5 yards exactly what any range is visually. Even with binoculars. It's pretty crazy skill.

I have cut paper at 200 yards with a 45, but practical range is shorter. You can extend that range some by putting the round in something with a longer barrel, like a Thompson. 🎯🎯🎯

But it isn't a long range round, even though the 45 ACP is the best battle pistol ever (in my humble opinion)! 😆👍💗

I know people won't like my opinion, but I don't care, LOL.

☺️👍😆🎯🤠💗
