Thanks. Seriously.







Everyone has their preferences, and every gun nut has their opinion (including myself). But in my professional opinion, from training near thousands of Marines, when it comes to shooting at flesh instead of paper, practicing and becoming proficient at killing bodies, you can not go wrong with the isosceles.

I became intimately familiar with it at a young age (of 20) through blunt force trauma (lots of training, and repetitive motion) and went on to be distinguished at both pistol and rifle intramural team level for both the 2 Mar Div team, and Marine Corps Intramural comps (by the time I attained the rank of Lance Corporal). Best score rifle was 249 of 250, and pistol was 422 of 425. Since I returned to the FMF I have fired range high every time.

As a child I was taught nothing but IDPA. Once I learned, and was used to isosceles, I could not even think of going back, nor can I suggest anything else for any other shooter. It is just good practice for the real thing (which is why a majority of us carry). It does take some getting used to for firing rifle in the offhand, but once you do, it works better.

It is great that you are teaching your boy, all parents should have the pleasure. My oldest son is four, and recently fired his first wheel gun.

Once again, I am not saying I know it all, and different things work for different shooters. I am not saying that I am the best, because I am not. And I am NOT saying that my qualifications outweigh anyone else's. But it will do you right, if you let it.

Edit:

BTW, I may have a 30-40 Krag coming through soon that may need a home. I already have one, and have no need for another.
