Gun Thread: Vacation Over Edition!

Howdy, Y'all! Welcome to the wondrously fabulous Gun Thread! As always, I want to thank all of our regulars for being here week in and week out, and also offer a bigly Gun Thread welcome to any newcomers who may be joining us tonight. Howdy and thank you for stopping by! I hope you find our wacky conversation on the subject of guns 'n shooting both enjoyable and informative. You are always welcome to lurk in the shadows of shame, but I'd like to invite you to jump into the conversation, say howdy, and tell us what kind of shooting you like to do!

When this goes up Sunday I'll just be getting back from Surf City, N.C. where we spent a week with an old friend and had a really great time. Just the right mix of stuff to do and not much to do, including a short walk to the beach and a perfect porch with comfy chairs for smoking cigars. Anything happen while I was gone? Hopefully this should be the last of the rip-off editions assuming I get my non-vacationing shit together. Thanks for your patience!

With that, step into the dojo and let's get to the gun stuff below, shall we?

******

FUNdamentals
Is there anyone practicing WeaselDoctrine and thinking the focus on fundamentals is making you a worse shooter?

Managing recoil discussion with our pal Hickok45.

***

And trigger work with an enormous watch wearer.

******
Question For All Y'all

Anyone familiar with the Kimber Micro 9? Any ownership or shooting experience with the model? Please tell me it's good because I just ordered one.

******
Beretta 30X
Moving along, this little guy looks pretty neat-o. I like this size for dropping into a front pocket when I make an emergency trip to 7-11 for Slim-Jims and don't want to take the time to go full tactitard.
Pro Tip: Never go full tactitard.

******
Olympical Shooting!

So not all of the Olympics are totally gay.

U.S. Shooting Team Website
