    David Caruso...nearly every show, often multiple times...he will stand off, with his hands on his hips...pulling his suit jacket back in the process. Usually, he will complete the "superman" pose by turning his head and looking off to the side....watch for the "superman" pose.

    +1 ...I was wondering if someone else found this behavior peculiar. He is so predictable I can always tell when he's preparing to cock his head like the little dog on the RCA advertisement. Good call Flex

    I just talked to my gunsmith. My open gun may be done as early as the end of next week. That would be one heck of a Valentine's Day gift! :wub:

    Hey Jane...

    Ditto on the Valentine's Day Gift. Wanna see what my husband gave me for Valentine's day a few years ago? :wub::wub::wub:

    Heya Little Pistol,

    I've watched both of your videos and I see improvement from first to second. Your stance is now a bit more aggressive...which is good. It's hard to imagine recoil while you're dry firing unless you have many hours on the range. BTW, when you're on the range, work on 1 thing at a time and remember what you learned so that the dry firing exercise is not wasted.

    Your speed in drawing and presentation looks fast but needs more "smooth" and deliberation.

    The one thing I've noticed about your grip is your left thumb does have not a "place" to rest. It must have a place that it rests on every time you draw. Find that place and put it there every time you establish your grip.

    When I learned to shoot my single stack style gun (too many years ago to mention) I trained my left thumb to sit on the extended slide stop. It took many iterations before it would behave on its own but now it seems natural. When I got my new open gun I had to find that spot all over again but the original training paid off and now this seems natural also.

    Keep up the good work, be diligent and become consistent. You're off to a good start.

    PC Virus Scanner Suggestion: AVG

    "One thing that I didn't like about it was that each time that I ran Spybot S&D or AdAware was that I would find lots of spyware on my machine and the program didn't do anything to stop it so I was removing the same stuff each week and lots of it." Rick

    Hey Rick, I've been using AVG for at least 5 years and I think it's an awesome product. Free is good but I would pay for it if I had to. (maybe someday we will) Anyway, with regard to your statement about Spybot Search & Destroy and Lavasoft's AdAware, they are designed to find spyware and advertisement cookies not viruses. AVG locates viruses.

    The reason why AVG is is such an awesome product is because it uses heuristics. "Heuristics improve the efficiency of search algorithms...they are more computationally efficient."(Wikipedia) This is why they update their definitions every day. They get a new list of the virus crap found out there and give your computer the new data to find it. McCaffe and Norton are so busy spinning their wheels all day long looking for a virus that they can't exactly identify that they suck up computer resouces like your cpu and memory.

    AVG has something new this year, AVG Anti-Spyware. It's also free. Try it, you'll like it.

    What's Your Shooting Soundtrack?

    Three Doors Down-Kryptonite can get me psyched up for anything...even shooting in the snow!

    I watched the world float

    To the dark side of the moon

    After all I knew it had to be

    Something to do with you

    I really don’t mind what happens now and then

    As long as you’ll be my friend at the end

    If I go crazy then will you still

    Call me Superman

    If I’m alive and well, will you be

    There a-holding my hand

    I’ll keep you by my side

    With my superhuman might

    Kryptonite

    They closed the Humor/Glocktalk thread before I got to post so I put it here.

    On a positive note...

    I have always felt very safe on the pistol range during any USPSA/IPSC event. Back in the "old days" when I was certified as a CRO, I learned range safety as applied to our sport. I am pleased to say that these rules are still being followed and adhered to just as they were in the 80's.

    I have been a Hunter Education Instructor in the state of New Mexico for 12 years and was certified as CRO for live fire classes about 7 years ago. After learning a new discipline of shooting I still find myself following the safety rules I learned in IPSC.

    There nothing wrong with the game or the rules...it's usually operator error.
