Really? Honestly I have no problem with the way he types, I read it just fine. I also see the nitpicking over it as senseless, especially when it happens practically every time he posts in a thread. Lastly, I'm not doing any "public service", I would think it's excusable to try to keep things from getting off topic into personal attacks, many others do this too.
nice.

I couldn't agree more or have said it better. At 7 yds. you aren't testing the accuracy of the ammo, gun or the skill of the shooter.7 yards isn't really ideal to see accuracy. That's sort of like judging a car's top speed by seeing how it runs at 20mph. Any decent machine can do it, and at 20mph you can't tell a Fiesta from a Ferrari. The question becomes, what's good enough for what you want to do. If you want to shoot bull's eye competitions, you aren't going to run a Glock if you expect to win. However if your purpose is carrying daily with the intent to protect yourself, the ability to shave 1" or so off your 50y groups is suddenly much less important. That doesn't mean they are equally accurate, it just means they are both accurate enough for the purpose at hand.

That kind of accuracy isn't tactical. Light gamer loads out of a gamer gun. Gamer.

Good shooting. If one doesn't learn the fundamentals, he or she won't be successful when the pressure is on and the chips are down.nice.

Seems fitting.

I only shoot at playing cards if they have photos of bikes with loud pipes. If they are quiet motorcycles, they get a pass.I usually shoot at playing cards at 10 yards. If I can keep them on the card I should be good.
Good example using shorter guns. Shorter barrels are not mechanically less accurate. They are just less forgiving because of the shorter sight radius. If your sight alignment is off it has more affect on where the bullet lands.
I have a lightweight 1911 with a 4" barrel that is wonderfully accurate. But the nut behind the trigger really has to work at it to see the results.
This brings up a couple of good points. There is mechanical accuracy, which is what the gun is capable of shooting without regards to the operator. There is shootability. That would be the things that give the shooter aid in shooting the pistol, i.e. good sights, good trigger mechanism and well fitting grips, etc. Of course we can have everything locked up on the first two factors of accuracy, but unless the ammo is up to snuff, none of the other two things matter.this kinda depends, if i paid 2000 dollars for a very nice bullseye 1911 it better be very accurate but a 500 dollar glock will most likely not match the hi performance 1911 in mechanical accuracy, but it doesn't need to so it does not matter. my definition for accuracy would be what ever the gun is mechanically capable with match grade ammo tested in the same climate that the gun is used in at 25 yards for a pistol. that being said i would pick a 1911 over a glock cause i like them better.
