MY PISTOL IS OFF!
How many of us have ever experienced a range session were no matter how hard we try it seems the target moves out of the way of the bullet a millisecond before the shot impacts? We spend a lot of our hard earned money on expensive pistols that never seem to hold up to their end of the deal and do their job, which is hit the target they are aimed at! Unfortunately for a shooter nowadays the excuse that a modern manufactured, out of the box handgun is “off” is generally not the case. Subjects that are often overlooked or misinterpreted when dealing with handguns and precision should be looked at before the equipment is blamed.
There are only two things needed to make a successful shot, stabilizing the muzzle on the target (referenced by the sights) and pressing the trigger to the rear without adding extra movement to the muzzle. The fit of the pistol to the shooters hand is often neglected when a handgun purchase is made. Would you by a pair of shoes that aren’t comfortable? Trigger finger placement on the trigger is important. If the index finger lands on the side of the trigger because of improper fit the possibility for unwanted movement taking place as the trigger is pressed can cause a miss down range. With this statement being made the other subject is sights. Sight picture, or how the sights are viewed on the target when the front and rear sights are aligned is a topic sometimesmisunderstood by the shooter. It is important to know where the bullet will impact in relation to your sights. Sights are often broken down into two types, point of aim/point of impact (commonly called “combat” sights) and traditional target sights (or six o’clock hold). Mixing a target hold with combat style sights will generally result in shots impacting low, and vice versa. Keep these subjects in mind next time you find yourself cursing at your gun for not hitting the target!

60 & 100 Round Mags from Surefire!
Personally, I haven't tried these. I have read some reviews where some worked and some didin't. It is my understanding that the inital ones that came out had an occasional problem, while others stated that they didn't have any problems at all. In the end, if any mag is used and abused it will eventually give you problems.

Health Insurance Survey Targets Gun Owners
Brian McCombie | Dec 19, 2011 |
Oregon State Senator Ted Ferrioli.
“The questionnaire asked the workers to volunteer lifestyle information that would be used to assist medical professionals in tailoring wellness plans,” Blue Mountain Eagle reported. “One part asks about gun ownership and how securely guns are kept. Ferrioli took issue with lumping gun ownership in with statements about risky behaviors.”
“The question ridiculously equated gun ownership to drunkenness, reckless driving, and other criminal behavior,” he said. “The assumption insults people who exercise a constitutional right to keep and bear arms. These issues have no bearing on an individual’s wellness plan.”
Kaiser Permanente agreed to delete the question from the forms. Ferrioli has also asked that the company to purge any gun ownership data that was already collected.

Great Picture of Daniel Horner!
I don't think anyone would argue that Daniel Horner is the "Superman" of 3 Gun. Here is another great pic of him in action. I believe credit goes to the photographers involved with 3 Gun Nation.
