Pursuit driving was changed to Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC).



Yeah, I'm aware of all that. I don't know what it has to do with rolling flashlights around on the ground.

Ok. I don't believe even for a second that you can't imagine what a flashlight rolling in a dark room does...but it ain't worth arguing about.

This is the same guy who thought XD's were crap isn't it?

Thumping him with a frozen turkey seems like a good option.

With all the percentages Chaz was throwing around, more than 94% of the clueful didn't carry what he did. I submit that makes him unclued, disclued even.

Looks like a video from an insecure type of guy who wants to make sure everyone thinks he's cool/smart/knowledgable about his carry choices.

What you carry is FAR LESS important than what you can do with it.

Guess I'll never make the cut carrying my 1911's, pretty sure accurate hits with sights on target faster than ASAP has to count for something, I can point and fire no other handgun as fast or accurate, Les Baer 45 ACP with 185 gr TAC-HP's at 1125, DW 10mm with 200 gr XTP's at 1244, and a favorite hot weather carry Colt LW Commander in 38 Super with 125 TAC-HP's at 1341 will just have to do.

I’ve become fond of 185’s @1300+ fps our if the 45 Super and the 230’s @ 1100+ fps.

Actually, he doesn't carry what he says most "clueful" people do.

Powerful flashlights are so small nowadays, that you might as well. I just clip a tiny tactical flashlight into my right front pocket when I put my wallet, keys, etc., on in the morning. Never give it a thought till it's needed. I use it several times a day for various mundane purposes. Most recently, I used it to verify that the turkey carcass was empty, i.e., no more packages to remove before cooking. On my way back from an evening walk, I routinely use it to light up the car port (anti-ambush) as I reenter my property.



Anti Ambush?

"Clueful": Word Origin
opposite of clueless

Well, it seems to be a real word. (For those who deny it. )
As for a flashlight, I have 2 on me most of the time. 1 larger and magnetic for hands free work, and a small one for close up work, clenched in my teeth. I do need to get some night sights though. What sights would you recommend for a CCW Taurus millinium pt111g2?

An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Could be, but primarily so you can identify what you are shooting at if the lights are low or out.

Dang, gunner, me too. And just as I was really enjoying how much easier it is to carry that Springfield 1911 A1 that Wilson Combat had customized than a boxy Glock.

I don't claim to have any special clues, but I carry a Kahr for the same reason he said most of those guys are carrying Glocks.
