I never said spoon or knife, so quit tring to type words into my posts.
I was pointing out the technical points those with a bit of know understand and is why certain weapons work better than other in certain environments.
When it comes to pistols if you have a bit more know you would have known the pistol grip sleeves do what you want, are easy to install, difficult to mess up and bring your finger to the proper point better than a naked pistol... FYI those with a bit of know also know the 7 Ps... Proper Prior Practice Prevents Piss Poor Performance. I can use waaaay too much finger in almost every 'snyper' rifle I have gotten behind, however proper practice has my finger automatically going to the porper placement- called muscle memory among the ruck humpers.
My hands are not big but I CAN put way too much finger into the trigger guard of my full sized XD45. training and practice till I have to really work at it to get it wrong. Perhaps you should read a bit on John Farnham.
next they make extended magazines both that hold extra rounds and those that are just 'filler' so no more pinky dangle. The sub compacts are not made for home defense so why bring them into this? They are for concealment, something your hand cannon would never do.
Again proper tool for the job. Doesn't take a lot of technical to see that. You seemed to have gone out of your way to make the 44mag the only possible weapon to use.
Once again I'd ask... have you ever fired your home defense cannon in a dark room?
The spoon/knife comment was in the post I was specifically responding to and created the post that you responded to. If you didn't read what I was responding to, how did you plan to keep your statement in context with what I was saying?
Further, yes, a rifle, even a short barrel is going to have greater accuracy than a pistol. But that is not always a practical distinction. If you set a 2 inch group at 50 feet (except hallways, a very long shot inside a building) with a pistol, but set a 1/2 group with a rifle, is there actually a practical difference? I personally cannot set that type of grouping, but I can generally stay in the "black" of the target (approximately 6 inch radius) at 30 yards. Overlay that target with a human center of mass, you get a dead human. If you overlay it over an average human head, I would still hit in the head, just not necessarily a take-down shot. So for me, over approximately 20 yards, there starts to be a practical difference, depending on ammunition type.
In any case, the assertion, made by another not necessarily you, that a pistol is not effective against an "assault" rifle and that the person with the rifle wins every times, is clearly a false statement.
For teachers, what is the practicality of a pistol vs trying to lug around a rifle? If, with few exceptions there is no practical difference in the ability to adequately respond to an armed aggressor, then go with portability and availability.
There is a huge difference between your reference to a rifle trigger position under conditions where you actually have time to think and check, vs in the dark at night with an intruder in your house with fear and adrenaline pumping up you system. Hey, if we could all afford the amount of practice to ensure that kind of muscle memory under those conditions, great. Some of us cannot afford that kind of practice, even with a .22.
As I stated, I tried different things. And my intent was to purchase a .40 or 10 mm, but after over a year of searching and trying as many combos as I could, I got frustrated and just made a decision.
