Re: OT-Detonics Combat Master?

I owned one some years back and it was a great little pistol. I regret getting rid of it but at the time Ann Richards had just vetoed conceal carry and I decided to opt for something larger framed.

Re: How's about our folks in Texas?

The fires are all west of me by a good ways. But boy is it hammering those that are further west. Over 1000 Square miles total have burned so far. A lot of folks have lost their homes and ranches. Pray for rain, it's looks like the only thing that will stop the fire right now.

Re: Marksmanship Advice

When you have your sights lined up and are about to pull the trigger, leave the safety on, close your eyes and count to five. Open your eyes, are you still on target? If not, adjust your position and try again. The more you to have to force yourself to get on target the worse your shot will be.

I use to run with a guy that had one. I shot it several times at the range and liked it. The amount of force needed to maintain the squeeze is very little compared to the amount needed to squeeze it. I don't know if I would want one for combat use but for fun it's a neat pistol.
