What'd be impressive is when you hit targets while holding the gun sideways i.e. "Gangstah".

The funny thing is I am seeing some defense coaches talking about that
sideways hold now, usually using a laser. It is generally when
shooting from cover like around a corner so you can establish a sight
picture or guide on the laser without exposing any more of your body
and head than necessary. It is also supposed to be more stable on an
"out to the side" hold.

I'm sure you're right in theory Greg, but I doubt that applies much to thug life

It is not really my theory, just what I have seen.
As for the thugs, none of this applies. They don't aim, they just do a
magazine dump and hope they hit someone from the other gang.

If I were carrying again, something I do not expect to do, I'd carry a
S&W 686 with a 2-1/2" barrel in .357 magnum. Heavy hitter, seven rounds,
no semi-auto concerns, great trigger right out of the box, SA or DA. If
you have to shoot someone, you want to drop them in their tracks, and a
..357 will do it.
