I don't mind missing bags, it's the bags that get advanced that drive me crazy. Those take up alot of work time because I have to scan them, look up the customer's record, and then replace the bags onto the carousel at the correct time. Each and every bag that is left over weights atleast 50 pounds. :rolleyes: Every since we started charging to check in bags people make sure that they are getting their monies worth.

I hope you dont have to deal with acrazy irate passenger doing two turns in SFO the first full week of Jan. Just saying ;)!!!

Nope. I'm still here. Writing an email to my mother about Hilton properties in SEA. She will be depressed to learn that her preferred brand Is Not Possible under the conditions she is asking for.

Easy enough habit to break - think about a self-defense scenario and a quick lesson from the speed shooters you see with a pistol. Pull from the holster and bring gun up far enough (but close to body) to get the back sight in range. Use the curvature of the grip (13 degrees for a reason) to help you sight while pushing out the weapon toward the target from your stance. Can dry-fire to work on trigger control - after a trigger pull, one should still be on target. Yes, I do practice this drill (in slow motion, no less).

Most of my live-fire practice is putting two shots on target from the holster. I don't care that I can put all shots on center mass at a leisurely pace. I care that I can do so in an emergency.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation...I will have to practice the dry-fire drill and see if it helps me on the range.

Nope, I guess she did not have time to think about it. If I waited she probably would have come up with some scheme.

Even I find this a little excessive. :D I tend to explore potentially bad sounds with a Sigma and Maglite. Of course, the Sigma is either 13+1 (for the 40) or 16+1 (for the 9).

:o Well, they were loud steps so I thought it was actually a human up there.

Mossberg and Benelli both make great tactical 12-gauges, yes.

Especially the Benelli Super 90 semi-auto ^^

And you need more than 14 shots to neutralize the threat? I was once asked whether I carried a reserve magazine. I said if I couldn't take care of an issue with 14-17 shots, that's a powerful signal I really am in a bad situation. Irrecoverably bad.
