I like Recon Econ's theory of 1911 Chunking only I use the Kell Light. Since I cannot run as fast in my senior years, I have become quiet accurate with the Kell Light and have ended several foot pursuits with a flick of the wrist. I am willing to teach the skill for only $750 a day.  |
I wonder if it is a "old guy" thing, the appreciation of the Whack Value (WV) of any firearm. With the new synthetic furniture on firearms and my first issue of the M16 (prior was the M14 .. really great whack factor) I felt a little less secure with the M16 if there was a failure to fire problem. Maybe it goes back to listening to others who where in the Korean war and war in the Pacific. The other factor, the generally feelings of the time, pistols were of little use.
