I always joked of being ambi-non-dexterous… a klutz on both sides… One time while doing drills at the range including exchanging to the non-dominant hand, the instructor checked over my targets and suggested I might be misidentifying my dominant hand.
Didn’t Sniffy Joe say go ballistic by saying something really dumb about a “9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body” just recently? Is he gunning for the title of Ballistic-In-Chief?!?
Then there was his double-barreled blowhard statement about a decade ago in which Sniffy Joe said he advised his wife Jill that if there was ever a problem to walk out on the balcony and “fire two blasts outside the house.”
Damn those pesky Girl Scouts selling Thin Mints and those persistent Jehovah Witnesses! Just let loose with a double-barreled shotgun and then claim the Biden defense before the judge.
On the other hand, maybe Gaffer-In-Chief is better … and safer too.
With hollow points and human targets, there’s not much difference between the major semi-auto calibers (9mm and above). Even .380 is only barely behind 9mm. The difference is greater when you are shooting ball and attempting to penetrate cover/firm concealment, but who has ball in their carry gun?
Also, the most important consideration with any carry gun is that the stopping power of a missed shot is 0%. I always suggest to carry the biggest caliber you can double-tap successfully. I don’t care if it’s .22lr, because carrying a .22lr you can hit with is better than a .380 you’ll miss with.

I’ve always heard that proper targets improve training results.
Every so often when the family gathers for a holiday sometimes I, my boys, and maybe a friend or two will go a range and burn through many boxes of bullets. Once we had targets that were caricatures (not a picture) of Obama. The range officer came by and when he noticed our targets he informed us that if we continued to use those targets, range management was bound by law to report our activities to the FBI. Since it is unlikely that the range officer is a lefty, there must be some law or decree somewhere declaring that our targets were illegal.
I know it’s a law in Massachusetts, thanks to a jackass Democrat named Christopher Hodgkins, from the town of Lee.
Except this guy was such an incompetent jackass that he made an entire career out of writing legislation that had zero effect.
He modified a law to close the “Wayne Lo Loophole” by writing an addition that had almost as big a loophole, while entirely forgetting to remove the original loophole language in the process.
And his “humanoid target” prohibition applied only to gun clubs with Class A licenses (of which there were none, nor would there ever be because there was zero benefit and lots of liability associated with that license), and also neglected to prescribe any penalty for violating it.
Christopher Hodgkins, the perfect political incompetent. I still have a stack of targets with his face on them in my ammo cabinet.
Hmmph….makes me wonder just how hard/close the media looked at both that “comedienne” Kathy Gifford with the “head of Trump” and that washed up wannabe ‘material girl’ Madonna with her “I’ve really thinking a lot about blowing up the White House” comment after Trump was elected.
I’m sure the Secret Service looked into both VERY closely as they really liked Trump because he appreciated and respected them.
Here in 100-degree Fla, you ban shorts and t-shirts (actually a very good outfit for avoiding brass burns), and you’d be “in charge” of an empty range…
I’m more interested the the make and model of the handguns being shown. Personally I’m having trouble squiring a proper sight picture w/my Glucks and am packing a mini-Sig 9mm but w/a 6rnd mag it’s not the perfect Food Court Gun. I may have to opt for a PDW

I’ll be damn…two ambi’s?
Apparently so…

The Hair Sniffer in Chief had best stay in the basement if those girls come to DC for a visit. Nice to see Mom raising them right.
He has Covid – no hair sniffing for a while…
I don’t think COVID changes that much when he was tasteless to begin with.
pyrodice,
You win the Interwebs for the day. I got nuthin’.
At least the girls don’t have to worry about a hot ejected case going down the front of their blouse.
They’re probably a little too mature for Ol’ Sniffy.
Is the Secret Service responsible for protecting the puppy as well?
9 or 45?
After this last mall shooting, I think we can all see 9mm acquitted itself QUITE nicely!

… or he could just have been pulling our chain …
Heh … was it one of these targets?

To be fair … that is not a President Obama target. It’s a brain eating cannibalistic zombie that kinda resembles Obama target.
I’d always though it was illegal, but never bothered to verify. A very quick search gave up a very unreliable ‘legal source’. But… it makes sense.
But, there again, substitute 147gr HSTs for baseballs and there may be a visit from the SS, etc.

It may have been a state law.

ROFL!

Shooting handguns with any skin exposed other than hands and face? – you’d be told to get off any range I’m in charge of.
Here in 100-degree Fla, you ban shorts and t-shirts (actually a very good outfit for avoiding brass burns), and you’d be “in charge” of an empty range…
“First I see the candy, THEN I get in the van. I’m not stupid.” One of the best T-shirts going, especially if the wearer is up to the task.
I’d a lot rather shoot a pic of that putz Joe than a putz-shaped blorp of Jo…I just don’t think I could bring myself to do that.

I dunno. That butt-ugly forward curving grip had me thinking Walther 99 but not with that business-end design. Anybody?
