    Switching Platforms.

    in Handgun Techniques

    Posted

    Switching could mean you shot your Beretta yesterday, you shoot your Glock today, your limited gun tomorrow, and your revolver the day after..........that's going to get you nowhere.

    Shooting your Glock or whatever during the off season.....and applying what you learned from that to your primary gun........that can help quite a bit.

    1. It's a change of pace....a break

    2. In my case, results in fewer rounds going through my more expensive limited guns

    An overly simple analogy is that of baseball players who take practice swings with weights on their bat. There is some sort of Theory of Relativity with guns....to a degree.

    Beretta Longevity

    in 1911-style Pistols

    Posted

    I would like to hear from high volume shooters as to what longevity/durability they are experiencing with their Berettas.

    The "book" on the 92s indicates a service life of 8-10k rounds. My experiences with 96s (with major ammo) is a bit less than that.

    How many rounds are you guys getting out of your guns before locking blocks start breaking, frame rails start cracking, etc.

    Thanks

    Lead Level in your blood

    Trivia on this subject......

    1. As a full time firearms instructor, I get my lead checked annually. A few years back, my level had gotten to 34; this caused a lot of drama for employers/me/coworkers. What struck me as odd was that the year before I had been fine......I began to look around for what I had changed over the past year. I checked my flatware at home (apparently some plates/bowls used to have lead in the enamel) got my wife checked, etc. I checked further and found that my level had been 32 the year before......nothing had changed, it's just that I had been misinformed about my previous level. I stayed out of the local indoor range for about 120 days and everything was fine.

    2. I now contract for a DoD organization, doing firearms/force protection training. The branch of service we work for came out and inspected the indoor range we were training at; the air system, contrary to our beliefs, was only a little better than worthless. In talking to these inspectors (who check military indoor ranges around the world) they have NEVER repeat NEVER found an indoor range anywhere that truly had acceptable air quality.

    Other than that, all of the previously posted solutions are the way to go. Even when I was at a high of 34, I never experienced any symptoms.

    I went to see Frank just after I started; prevented me from wasting thousands of hours and thousands of rounds in incorrect practice. Without a doubt the best training money I've ever spent.

    Pick odd days to go; i.e. Sunday Monday and Tuesday, for example. You are more likely to get one on one with him.
