In what regard? Could you be a bit more explicit in what you're asking?
My first thought too.Quote:

If the latter, the answer is easy: None. It's a right.

My guess is that he's talking about some minimum threshold of performance on a drill or drills.
Irving got it.
Minimum threshold for performance on a given carry setup (gun/holster/carry style combo)
For YOUR comfort.
There are plenty of non-committed answers there. No big deal, if you don?t have any, need not post. I get it. No need to justify. If all ty can carry is a single shot 22 in your prison pocket, still better than nothing blah blah blah.
Moving on

Not the best answer, but when I first started competing, I remember a particular stage where I had to lean around a barrel to engage a target. I was blasting away and didn't see any hits on the threat target. I leaned out a little further and saw that I was lighting up a No-shoot that I didn't even see. That really made an impression on me at an early stage that if I was going to be carrying a gun, I had better be able to hit what I'm aiming at. Pretty low threshold, but it did a lot to cement my belief in training and at least being a minimum level of proficient for my own comfort. I HATE hitting no shoots on stages.
So you're saying you adopted Russian SWAT standards early on but have shifted to a more conventional American approach since? :DQuote:

I only carry the same pistol (G43) w/ same holster (HBAR OWB), so I don't have a need to go back and forth on training due to multiple setups.
More like our drone program. Shoot all the wedding guests. Bad guys live.Quote:

No, I just have a rule where I'm not allowed to shoot no-shoot targets. Despite shooting with you guys for years, I've only actually done a drill once and have never set a standard for myself. I try to do better at matches (when I'm in shooting season and actually shooting) as a kind of "a rising sea lifts all boats(skills)" tactic in general.
I like deep pockets so my J frame won't fall out. A decent belt to keep my shorts from slipping off.
We can talk about my thong sometime when were fishing.
J-frame, riiiight.Quote:

Always keep one in the chamber?
Down at work we have a mandatory live fire test for our CCW classes.
15 yds, 7yds, 4yds, 2 handed, r-hand only, l-hand only,under pressure, ideally from holster, from concealment, with the actual gun the student is planning to carry.
Minimum passing score is 70% of maximum.
I practice at least once a week with the same test and try to hit 100% with my carry gun.
Most time I am in the high 99%'s.
Anything under 98% calls for a full week of practice to get back in shape.
My personal yard stick is either the CSAT pistol instructor standards or the pre 9/11 FAM qual. If I can pass I can live with myself, if I can clean them it's a good day.
For others I say let your conscience be your guide, just remember you buy everything your rounds hit.
I favor the Aunt Girtie standard in which Girtie has the absolute right to keep and bear arms for self defense. If in any situation anyone attempts to rob, molest or otherwise take wrongful, undue and forceful advantage of Aunt Girtie then she has the right to self defense that supersedes any more refined standard as defined by some bureaucrat/lawmaker.
Who will take Aunt Girtie's pistol over some "standard"? What if she shoots Trayvon in the arm, the pelvis and the toe instead in center of mass? is she then unqualified to defend herself?
Guessing nobody here would disagree with you there.Quote:
