    Very interesting!  I immediately ran to our gunsafe and tested all our handguns to see which brands gave the most natural line from forearm thru hand.  The Sigs seemed to fit best overall but I’ll get all scientific and get my husband to take a picture of me holding each one while aiming at a specific spot (safe direction only!), measure differences in angle, and compare those pics with results at the range.  The most natural angle should give me the best results on target as that would increase stability.  I think.

    Interconnectedness of Defensive Firearm Training

    Student alert! If your defensive firearms instructor is not giving you an integrated system of firearm manipulation techniques but rather a set of unconnected techniques that don't integrate well together, don't reinforce each other, and don't contribute to your efficiency by being consistent with one another, you need to challenge those techniques.
