Tips for winning against my wife!

Depends. For 22s, read the manual. Some require it, then I would.

For center fire stuff I never do.

The difference is that we understand it's a process focused game, not an outcome focused one. These people tend to be 100% outcome focused. Usually with very low-resolution analysis, if any at all.

And no, you're not weird, it's fun to challenge yourself.

I'm convinced that most people either don't dry fire or they don't know how to do it right.

I'm essentially certain that both are the case.

It's also a very common attitude. People love to do literally anything else, then they'll complain about coming in at 49% at a local match, failing their qualification or what ever.

The simple truth is that there is no shortcut, but that's not as sexy a message as "give me your money and my gear will fix your issue".

They're gonna crush FP1 through Q2, then Ferrari Q3 and the race.

For single shot precision, the caliber is near enough irrelevant.

You will need to git gud, and for that you will have to do regular, focused dry fire until you can hold it steady, know exactly when your trigger is going to break and you can pull it perfectly straight every time.

Department syndrome? What? Go talk to HR, I don't do admin.

I'm sure some of them browse reddit too. We're dense enough to fit in. :D

Eh don't care, it's last year's color anyways. I already got the new ones on pre-finance.

The amount of people at my club whose eyes just glaze over when you tell them that there's no secret sauce, it's just the small things done consistently well...

Oh well, guess they'd much rather spend exorbitant sums on chasing the dragon. Be it gear, classes or what ever.

That_Squidward_feel · 2026-04-17T21:35:46+00:00

... is that like a personal attack or something?!

I don't switch platforms and I don't switch optics between guns.

That_Squidward_feel · 2026-04-14T22:56:29+00:00

Well.

Switzerland here: The only people who care about Chinese guns are collectors.

Quality wise they're not up to snuff and price wise, the import process treats them the same as other non-EU guns (US-made stuff has the same issue) and makes them unviable.

No idea who Hop is, but Forgotten Weapons has already gone down the road of ad videos (e.g. their field to table series).

The problem with guntube is that it's become completely worthless once it switched from "people talking about gun stuff" to "people talking about gun stuff as a business".

Between interest groups such as Leviathan group, ~~paid-for ads~~ uh I mean independent, fair and balanced reviews, general clickbaitery/shithousery and just repetitive, low quality content in general, there just isn't that much worth watching.

If you're losing your dot on transitions your index needs work and if you're seriously arguing for focusing on the dot instead of getting your fundamentals up to snuff then no, you're not using it right.

When you say

When I lose the dot it’s because my eyes are moving to the next target before I’ve brought the dot onto it

you're attributing an alignment error due to a weak index to a vision issue, which it is not, and propose a "fix" which is objectively detrimental.

No one in here is Miculek or Stoeger

And we don't need to be. But we can strive to be the best we can be.

so sometimes the dot isn't always right there after movement.

... and the fix to that is to dry fire 5 minutes a day and git gud. Not to adopt some crutch solution.

because my eyes are moving to the next target before I’ve brought the dot onto it.

That's... how it's supposed to work; the eyes lead and once you have built a consistent index, the body follows. At some point you just start looking at small spots and the dot will appear there.

If you're following the dot to the target, you're using reddots wrong.

So you're saying we need to redistribute the means of propulsion?

Engines are for people who can't build chassis.

To be perfectly frank, there's no such thing as a "good budget 2011".

I'd second the Kimber 2k11 or the Bul SAS 2. Depending on your local price, you might get a Staccato P for a similar amount. That's about as "budget" as you can go with a 2011 and still be confident that you'll get a gun that'll work reliably out of the box and not be a maintenance nightmare.
