somebody help my logic warp around this one. Scott says you use a lighter bullet in a short barrel. With the same powder and charge, you have a fixed burn time. A lighter slug accels faster, so it's in the barrel a shorter time than the big meat (y'all hush that snickering). This means more powder gas gets wasted in muzzle flash and not used on bullet go. The heavy slug stays in the barrel longer due to inertia, allowing burn pressure to go much higher, and is accel'ed more? Huh? Wha'? howcum?

I may be nuts, but I feel that a CCW should be the one that you can point (NOT aim) the most naturally, a.k.a. "shooting from the hip", when you have to whip it out and get one off in a damn big hurry, and be fairly sure that you can hit something 2-3m away. When my father taught me to shoot a pistol, I was taught about 3 methods. First was single hand aimed fire, the classic duelling style. Second was supported aimed fire, a combo of 2hand combat, and object supported gun hand firing. The third was taught with a flashlight stuck in the end of the barrel, rigged to light when the trigger was pulled. No aiming here, just do it like finger pointing. With a little practice, I could put the light in the lethal zone on a mantarget better than 20 out of 20 at 4m in a fast pull scenario, and never lay eyes on the sights. It's sort of like wing shooting, which you do with both eyes open and on the target with only peripheral awareness of the shotgun sight rib.

Now we get down to the nitty. Where do you concealed carry yours? Did you know that EffBeeEye's sometimes sew a big metal washer in the tail of their coat so the coat will swing away right when they reach for their gunhand high belt carry?
