I've wondered why some gun company hasn't used their base product - as in the current Ruger Mark and Buckmark, etc. - to produce a slightly less expensive .22 trainer for instructors (several gun companies offer discounts to NRA-Certified Instructors via the NRA Instructor Sales Program). In the case of Ruger and Browning, only a sight change would be necessary - bigger sights with a wider rear notch and narrower front sight. If they wanted to go all the way, some sort of attachment point for an inexpensive laser (I have Crimson Trace lasers on several of my student center fire handguns; I adjust them to put the dot 5 inches low and 5 inches right at 20 feet. I start beginners with 9 inch paper plates at 18 feet, so if I see the laser dot on the cardboard backer an inch off the plate at 4:30 I know they have correct sight alignment on the aiming point in the center of the plate). <br /><br />Inconsiderate Bastardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-84035334861103935882014-04-08T13:43:10.156-05:002014-04-08T13:43:10.156-05:00Don't dink with the sights on that NEOS.

One of my favorite ranch carry guns is a 6 shot .45auto (Star PD), I'm very confident with it on.<br /><br />I recall that the big surge towards compact pistols was the 10 round magazine maximum for the 1994 laws. Manufacturers figured if you were stuck with 10 round magazine capacity, it may as well be compact. A lot of small Glocks were sold because of that. <br /><br /><br />Jury is still out why 10 rounds is fine, but 11 rounds is EVIL :^)<br /><br />Hope those guns work out for you - those sights on the Kahr was a bonus!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-55046186655277160552014-04-07T16:49:53.982-05:002014-04-07T16:49:53.982-05:00@B: Thanks, I'll do that.

Although it operates quite well, it sprays rounds all around the target - even when fired from a rest. We suspect ammo issues as much as anything, but its lack of accuracy has limited the amount of time she spends shooting it.Rev.

It's one thing when you're talking 8-10 rounds of .45 vs. 17 rounds of 9mm (in free states, but if you're limited to no more than 10, you may as well drill the holes as big as you can. <br /><br />If you only get 10 (or less), the wise person makes those 10 as big as possible (assuming the shooter can place the shots accurately... you're still better off with 10 small hits than 10 big misses).
