I agree. If we are going to limit magazine size, I would start with
the cops.
You just have to look at police involved shootings since they traded
their revolvers for double stack SAs.
Police are firing 30 or 40 shots in these incidents and few actually
hit the suspect.

This is a true story from a deputy I know.. The Charlotte County
Sheriff department had a little unofficial competition at their range.
5 bowling pins at 21 feet (7 yard line). Shoot until they are all
down, timed event. There are guys who have to reload their Sig before
they hit them all. The winner is usually an old detective who carries
a 5 shot Chief. 5 for 5.

The result is something like that incident in New York where they hit
10 bystanders, trying to take down one guy.

At least half the guys I see at the Maryland Small Arms Range are cops,
and most of them have trouble hitting the "vital areas" on targets seven
yards away. At 25 yards, which is my shooting distance, many of them
can't hit the large paper targets, let alone the body outline on the target.

You should train at fairly short ranges trying to develop the muscle
memory to be able to hit the center of mass on a B-21 target without
really aiming. It is a point and shoot exercise more like claybird
than traditional bullseye. You are really only using the front sight
and starting from the retention position. I also do this from the
decocked condition. Your follow up shots are more traditional aimed
fire but these days, you probably have legal problems with a second
shot if your first one hit at all..

I agree with Hank to some degree. If you shoot someone 25 yards away,
you are going to have a hard time claiming self defense..

Yup, and every bit of that training goes out the window as soon as the
perp shoots back and you turn away from him... But I guess it's cool to
pretend

You are so full of ****!!! What a moron!!
