    For what it's worth, AFHF was doing that before there was a Pistol-Forum. Might just be why so many people who trained with Todd went on to have exceptional levels of skill with a pistol.

    Deliberately small Shotgun Skills class this past Saturday.

    1 Mossberg 590A1, 1 Remington 870, a few Beretta 1301's and a return of the previously under-lubricated but now very well lubricated...

    I've had my 632 out twice since my initial range outing.

    I experienced a single FTF in 100 rounds of MagTech in those two sessions. And the gun seems to shoot to point of aim now...probably...

    I actually seem to shoot worse when I try to use the sights with precision than when I just maintain target focus and shoot the big front sight almost like it was the dot in an optic. I shot 50...

    My "index" left entirely when I contracted COVID and suffered nerve damage that I hope isn't permanent, but has impacted everything I do with my hands. It was literally here one...

    He only made them for a limited number of guns in the past, and I thought there was no red dot option but apparently he's opened up to making more configurations. You'd have to contact him to get a...

    The 5Shot SME is still the most comfortable holster I've ever used. I carried a P30 in it daily for years.

    It was tight on the draw at first. I was OK with that as it made carrying the gun so...

    Looking at the payload weight and the velocity will give you a good idea of what kind of recoil it offers.

    The compressed high ready he preferred did, in fact, come directly from the FAMS. So there's absolutely a real world foundation for it. One can certainly argue that their mission profile is unique...

    I use lasers on guns that have terrible sights. Examples would be a Ruger LCP or a S&W 638. The laser is a massive boon to being able to hit at speed with those guns.
