So I’ve seen hundreds of YouTube gun reviews on all different makes/models. Each reviewer always touches on certain things such as:
Take up
Break
Wall
Reset
Etc..
My question is, in a life or death self defense situation, do these things even matter?
That depends..... To a certain degree, maybe. Lets break it down a little. The way the gun fits your hand will determine how, under stress you can effectively point the gun, to a degree.
The trigger characteristics will determine how well you are able to place the shot, to a degree.
Reset, I prefer how Robby Latham shoots, finger all the way off the trigger on every shot. The trick is consistency, same trigger pull every shot.
Mechanical accuracy, to a degree.
You add all these degrees up and you can start to see where every aspect affects you a little bit, each bit is not a big deal but when added together they can make a difference.
My only concern in this situation is... do I have enough firepower to stop the threat and will the gun go bang when I pull the trigger.
How many times are you planning on missing? Why won't your gun go bang? Train so that you can make consistent hits on a playing card (3"x5") target at distances you shoot. There is a time distance equation for you to work out, the closer the target the faster you have to be. Don't take shots that you have a high percentage of missing.
Am I missing something?
Are you?
